Infact the "calibration" just checks altitude and TAS.

Using E6B you can actually match your TAS to your calibration...rather than the other way round.

so

Open E6B and position it so the TAS is just below youir cross hairs

get your line on target

stabalise speed a little bit

calibrate

Now with your throttle match your E6B TAS to your calibrated speed.
