Sporty's New Electronic E6B

[K902]

Anyone have one? Worth the money? Something better out there??

I have it. It's awesome. Does everything you can think of (and more) and it wasn't too badly priced. I use it for my TOLD card that we have to fill out for every flight here at OU. It makes it much faster.

They make you fill out a TOLD card for a piston single? Bahahahahaha.

I'd like to echo this.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH!

Hehe.

"Is the runway longer than the longest distance in the book?"
"Yep."
"Alright then."

That's how I feel. It's a waste of time and paper. I put my own together in Excel so I can plug a few numbers in and hit print.

There is a free E6B app or you can get sportys E6B app for $8.99. I don't see how many of these they can sell except the starry-eyed student pilots who need to fill up their brand new, big Jepp, captain flight bag.

Hehe.

"Is the runway longer than the longest distance in the book?"
"Yep."
"Alright then."

Psh! In any piston single I ever flew:

"Do I have more than 2000' of runway?"
"Yep."
"Is it cooler than 90F?"
"Yep."
"Am I in Colorado?"
"Nope."
"Alright, let's go!"

 

[Boris Badenov]

Do they make you do a balanced field length as well?

Unless you really want one for your written exam, I'd put the $60 towards a tablet and buy any one of the $5-10 E6B apps for that.

I wouldn't waste money on a digital E6B. Just use the wizwheel until you're done with your ratings and then you can forget about the thing all together.
