E6B Flight Computer by Sporty's
Our Electronic E6Bs are invaluable during flight training, and are approved for use on FAA exams. But these powerful Flight Computers are great for more than just student pilots. Their pilot-friendly design makes quick work of any navigational, weight and balance, or fuel problem and it also performs conventional arithmetic calculations. Whether it’s pre-flight or in the cockpit, our compact E6Bs are a helpful companion for any pilot. Features:
Sporty's® Electronic E6B™ Flight Computer performs 23 aviation functions and 14 aviation conversions. Its pilot-friendly design makes quick work of any navigational, weight and balance, or fuel problem and it also performs conventional arithmetic calculations. The conversion function lets you go from nautical to statute, Fahrenheit to Celsius and 12 other common conversions at the touch of a button. Operates on ordinary AAA batteries (not included) and includes a soft-sided carrying case, pocket reference guide and instruction manual. Authorized for use during FAA, exams. Four arrow keys make selecting the proper function simple. The oversized, easy-to-read screen prompts you for the proper inputs as you work through a problem line by line. Information from previous computations is automatically retained for future use—no need to retype old data into new problems. Clock page permits simultaneous tracking of Zulu, Home and Local time zones. The advanced timer counts up or down and operates independently so you can perform other calculations while the timer is running. Upon reaching zero in the countdown mode, the timer begins flashing—a useful feature for missed approaches, switching tanks, etc. The display measures 2 1/8"w x 2 3/8"h and turns off automatically after four minutes of non-use, yet the clock and timer continue to operate. Includes a five-year warranty. Available exclusively from Sporty's. Measures 3"w x 5 11/16"h x 1"d. Click Here for Instruction Manual |

Overall 
ProsCarry-over computations, ease of use, conversions are easily made.
ConsLosing all of the info when toggling between functions, sticky buttons.
General CommentsFlight planning went from 30-45 minutes with a standard rotating E6B to 15-20 minutes with the Sporty's Electronic E6B. This truly is a must have for any pilot, most importantly pilots that fly a lot or student pilots!

Date - 11-23-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Not bad Light Weight.. ConsSmall buttons, Feels very cheap, extremely hard to figure out and use right, user manual is hard to understand, small writing, and doesnt explain fully how to do all the functions.. General CommentsI got this to help save time but it will take you longer to figure out just how to use it and the many different functions each button does then its worth, i wouldnt ever try using this while flying.. I've just gone back to doing everthing in my head or on paper.. |

Reviewer - Greg Location - Fort Worth, TX Date - 10-20-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Overall good Overall I would rate this good for a Student pilot. I purchased it for my written test not knowing whether or not I could use my iphone application. ConsThe iphone e6B application I purchased has more features than this and it was about 1/6 the cost.

Location - Stockton, CA Date - 10-19-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsReally easy to use and the instructional paperwork that came with it was good. I like the case that it's in and with a little Velcro on the back you can mount it it the airplane. I also bought the addition software which was kind of disappointing, it was exactly what was in the paper information. I was expecting to get different information and possibly short cuts from the software. If you buy the product, hold off on the software until after you've gone through the book. If you're still having difficulty then maybe buy the software or find someone who already has one. |

| Very nice. Easy to use (except to read functions), compact, FAA Exam approved. As advertised. Cons Pricey considering iPad app availability (not FAA exam approved) Overall very good. I keep it in my flight bag and use it for planning even though I do have the Sporty's E6B iPad app. |
Reviewer - Tim Broom Location - Gainesville, FL Date - 9-14-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallValue Usability Recommended No | not very happy... I guess it works, but at a minimum level. I could not review the durability or reliability rating since I only used it for 3 minutes before ordering the CX-2. I am keeping for my first gift to give to the next guy when they say they want to start flying. :) ConsHonestly, I really did not pay much attention when I ordered this unit, I was just told that get the one on Sporty's for taking my written exam. This feels like a $2 calculator, and not very intuitive. I immediately purchased the CX-2, which I have found to be well worth the additional $5.

Date - 9-8-2011 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Sporty's E6B Easy to use None as of now General CommentsI like this E6B. For those who are on the fence about spending the money to buy an electronic E6B, just do it. It's so much easier to use than the manual version. True, you need to remember the batteries, but it is much easier to do in-flight calculations. |
Reviewer - D Parish Date - 9-7-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great Product Most of the calculation functions you will need Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsGreat product....as advertised |
Reviewer - John P. Location - Painesville, OH Date - 8-31-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very good tool for the written test. A little hard to understand at the beginning but once I got the hang of it it was great! Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 8-31-2011 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great Tool Great tool once you get familiar with it. ConsIt's missing a back light and it would be nice if you didn't have to pay extra for the training CD. Buttons tend to be too small at times and I find the iPad E6B to work much better. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Location - KCPK, VA Date - 8-18-2011 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great for the ground, not the plane Fantastic for pre-flight calculations; very accurate and remembering previous results and carring them to follow-on calculations really speeds things up. Takes a little getting used to, but relatively simple to use. ConsButtons are a bit tricky at times, not registering the keystroke. Timers are a pain to use, great when the work but a pain. General CommentsAgain a great item sitting at the desk doing the flight log, but once in the airplane it goes back in the bag and the old CR-3 'whiz-wheel' comes out. Well within the accuracy standards, no batteries and much smaller. While I think this is a good product and does what it says, I would recommend you try one before you buy. |
Reviewer - dougstrait Location - Columbus, OH Date - 8-18-2011 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very Nice but.... Brings calculations to next problem for you which is nice ConsInstructions are horrible for a student. A seasoned pilot would have no issues, but had to have instuctor show me what a lot of the stuff meant. A better instruction manua would make this product exceptional.
