    This product just scratches the surface of what you can do with an e6b. Everything that is covered is very basic. Its a hefty price for little options and would be great for touching up.

    Beautiful modeling and graphics.

    Cons


    If the screen saver or anything else interrupted the video, it was difficult to get it to start again in the same place. It required a strange combination of pausing the video, moving the time cursor, and resuming the video (which didn't always work).

    General Comments


    Other than the glitchy pause/resume function, this is a really nice and very complete product. I enjoyed it and it really helped me learn to use the E6B.

    Pros

    I love technology so I have a couple electronic E6Bs, but as with using a GPS whereI never want to become rusty with dead-reconing and pilotage, so too I try to stay as familiar as I can with the manual E6B. I bought this program to help me review use of the manual E6B more easily, something that I actually do on my own a couple times a year. I like this product, and it might be something a student could especially benefit from, but I got it as a quick review of the functions that I do infrequently - and it will work well for this.

    Reasonably priced, it’s $19.95, and the postage was around $7-8 for the CD – but it can be downloaded postage-free and burned to a disk if desired.

    It gives a useful background narrative in audio to explain practical use of each function, then demonstrates the calculation using visuals; it further gives a second calculation that you can perform on your own before the program demonstrates it again.

    Cons

    At first I didn't think it was going to have a selection for True Airspeed, but I found it under the button for density altitude. Now that I know where it is, no problem.

    It would sure be nice if it could give you a host of problems to work for each of the various functions, and then provide the answers, but it gives only one. That is fine since it is not really a course in use of the E6B, just a tool.

    General Comments

    I've already recommended it to a CFI I know and will do so every chance I have.

    Sporty's, I would love to see a workbook with questions on each function of the E6B that could be used to remain a real whiz with each of the functions of the whiz-wheel.

    A useful tool that showed the actual calculations with good graphics.

    Cons

    I would have liked to have more test computations. A battery of five for each type of question would have been helpful.

    I thought it was better than the VOR AND DME Sims I bought in the past. May be a great training Aid for those with CFI or a student pilot that wants to get ahead.
