2014年10月6日 · I have recently removed the E6B from my normal curriculum just because the Laser grade/PSI testing centers one have electronic ones on the testing software. For actually teaching I would recommend getting one of the study softwares that simulate the testing center so you can practice what they actually offer.

2012年2月23日 · Just live with your E6b for the next week or so and it'll be second nature to you. I still find it really handy for converting lbs of fuel to kilos when fueling up in foreign countries, checking ETP solutions, fuel burn, even currency exchange rates. You can even use it for wt/balance load shift problems. You just have to get really familiar ...

2014年11月25日 · I understood Sporty's electronic E6B was the only electronic E6B approved for use while taking the FAA written exam. Yes, Sporty's themselves sells software version of the same thing for use on the i-whatever. There are competing apps as well. None of those are approved for use on the test. So its either whiz wheel or Sporty's brick.

2022年11月8日 · The E6B doesn't take THAT much more time than the electronic version, and the best way to learn to use it well is to get enough practice with it to be familiar. I wouldn't worry about time. If you use more than half the time you're given for the knowledge test, something's probably not going well.

2016年8月23日 · I do have an E6B function on my Torgoen watch and I will occasionally use it in flight mostly for descent planning, but that's about it. Bobcat1 Pre-takeoff checklist

2005年2月12日 · The E6B is a bit tough to read, but the multi time zone capability is great when traveling. And it's ability to set itself off WWVB or the Japanese or German stations is quite handy, as well. It is now the time transfer standard in our house.

2021年2月6日 · When I took my written, they carefully inspected my e6b and plotter. They wouldn't let me use my calculator because it has a memory function, and wouldn't let me use my mechanical pencil for fear I might be hiding something inside it. Had to take off my watch, and I think maybe the hooded sweatshirt I was wearing. It was ridiculous.

2012年5月28日 · Haven't had a problem with my ASA E6B, it's been pretty durable and hasn't scratched very easily. As for plotters, I lose them like crazy, but both the Sporty's and Jepp ones I've had were fine. I generally don't use the scale on the sliding part of the E6B unless my plotter's gone missing again and I need to eyeball something.

2010年8月24日 · The manual e6b fits in my kneeboard pocket and I prefer to use that in flight rather than trying to fiddle with my phone. YMMV, I assume that the stand alone electronic e6b's are more user friendly than the iphone app but I don't have any issues with the …

2019年3月1日 · I’m glad I learned to use an E6B, and got to teach it in depth in ground school. Including a huge one we had at Burnside-Ott. It’s a pretty elegant way of calculating time/speed/distance, wind triangles, TAS, DA and more.
