Sporty's Electronic E6B Flight Computer for Pilots

Because I have so much faith and history with Jeppessen and Sporty's Pilot Shop I have no problem giving them and this product 5 stars. It's certain that if anything is wrong with it Sporty's or Jeppessen will make it right they have invoked that much confidence in me over the 35+ years I have been a customer. Matter of fact this is my 4th E6B calculator, not because they break, but because the airplane did. Or something went horribly wrong with what was supposed to be faultless engineering, and after the hard landing you leave your stuff behind, and promptly exit the aircraft! No these things are not water proof or fire resistant so they get the end result of. Oh s*** we stopped and nobody is bleeding! But the airplane is a mess at the end of the hello highway! Time to go immediately! To be fair I lost one on loan to a friend, and another to a student who really earned it by scoring 100 on the private pilots written exam. They are durable, dependable, and much simpler to use when compared to the manual circular analog old school E6B. However when training a new pilot they must master the old school methods before I will let them use this. This then becomes primary and the old school version is backup. So the only way this can get screwed up is if FedEx forgets where they parked the airplane, or Boeing left something out of it! Beyond that it's a no brainier!

which allows users to view multiple calculations and their steps at once. This makes it easier to track complex problems, especially in engineering, scientific, and advanced math courses. The screen's size and clarity enhance the user experience by making it simple to read even long equations.

Bought this for my husband for his birthday. He is taking flying lessons. He says it works well and uses it all the time.

Just because this device is approved by the FAA, it does not mean you will be allowed to bring it to your testing center. Make sure to get clear written confirmation before you start relying on this device and bring a paper E6B as a backup just in case. PSI services in Dallas denied usage of this device because it is an electronic device.It is a great tool, don’t get me wrong! Makes calculations he’ll of a lot easier and if you ever think you’ll use it outside of an exam environment, go ahead and buy it. Just keep in mind that if you buy it months in advance like I did, you will not be eligible for a return when you walk into the test center and get told to leave it in the car.

This is a great calculator but the buttons are a little small and difficult to push.

Perfect for helping my study for my aviation exams!

My son is in flight school and the sportys online ground school suggests using this. He said once we got this it made everything so much easier. Worth every penny.

Exactly as described can't wait to use it
