Wind triangle and density altitude

99.6° heading

The existing E6B visualization combines wind correction geometry with the atmospheric density-altitude comparison.

Hotter-than-ISA air raises the effective altitude

The quick E6B approximation uses ISA temperature at pressure altitude and adds about 120 ft for each degree Celsius above standard.
