My passing CFI-I written expired after two years so I'm going back and studying to take it again. As I do, I've noticed a question that I don't remember from my first time and that isn't in my textbooks.

I'm using a whiz wheel E6B, but the explanation seems to refer to using a digital flight computer to answer it. Can I answer this with my analog one, or is there a formula to calculate this? TIA.

A is the only direction that is a tailwind, and from the groundspeed, you have a tailwind...

This. I did the 2nd step of sketching it out after I kinda rotated my office chair 90ish degrees and WAG'd some math in my head. I was like... well... it's A or B - A is a quartering tailwind, B is in front of wing, quartering headwind. Gotta be A.

And, honestly anything over 70% is wasted effort. Nobody likes a greasy grind - get a few wrong and it'll look like you studied harder. Gotta give something for the examiner to ask you about that you'll be able to prep for vs. whatever pops into his head.
