Can someone please explain how the number spacing on the circular slider rule of an E6-B is figured? I've been using it for years, and just noticed that I don't know why it's arranged the way it is (other than the fact that it happens to accurately compare ratios). For instance, why isn't the...

Thank you all for your help and input. I respect all sides to the memory aid issue. I myself use memory aids for certain things, but for the most part, just fly the airplane like I would. However, since beginning my instrument training, I find that there is so much going on that memory aids...

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the CANADA memory aid for an instrument approach. I'm pretty sure that it's something like: C - communications, A - ATIS, N - Navaids,... but after that I can't remember. Also, if anyone else has any other good memory aids like this for instrument...

I appreciate all of your input. However, the reason I've chose aeronautical engineering in particular is because I want to know as much about aviation as possible, and see this as a natural choice to do so in college. Is this skewed logic?

Does anyone know what a Citabria Super Decathlon is?

Last year I remember finding a website through which I could hear live ATC transmissions at Oshkosh during the fly-in. I've tried LiveATC.net, but their KOSH radio is down (possibly because of the convention?). Does anyone know where else I might be able to find this? I always find it quite...
