If you are practicing for FAA exams or flight training, these are the standard "verified" calculation types:
Set the wind direction (180°) under the "True Index" at the top. Airport elevation: 2,000 ft OAT: +30°C Altimeter setting:
To give you a sense of the format and challenge level, here are three sample problems from that test:
True course = 120°, TAS = 110 kts, Wind = 200° at 20 kts. Find GS and drift. Look at the "Density Altitude" window in that same section
What is your True Heading (TH) and Groundspeed (GS)?
