Sporty's Electronic E6B Flight Computer for Pilots - Approved for Use on FAA Tests

Excellent customer service and the product is top notch! Thanks from a newbie pilot student!

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!

Must have for flight training

Easy to order at an affordable price. Arrived within 2 days.

I personally love this flight computer. I've been using it for over three years at this point. Mine did, however, come with some small scratches on the screen. It was cosmetic damage, so I didn't bother returning it, and it hasn't interfered with the functionality at all. That being said, ASA makes the CX-3, which is more expensive, but it has some nice features. Since this is going to be an investment that will last, it's worth considering. There's also app versions of E6Bs for a few dollars. The only downside to those is you can't bring them into a written test with you. Really, what electronic E6B you choose comes down to what you want to spend, and what you want to get out of that money.
