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.
New functions!
Both Electronic E6Bs now include three new features, so they’re even more useful than ever. All three are great in the cockpit, whether you’re a student pilot or an ATP.
• Required Rate of Descent function is an invaluable VNAV tool. Enter current altitude and groundspeed, plus crossing altitude and your distance to the crossing fix and the E6B tells you your required rate of descent (in ft/min). You’ll make that crossing restriction every time!
• Top of Descent function tells you how far out (in miles) to start your descent. Tell the E6B your groundspeed and current altitude, plus desired altitude and descent rate and you’ll know just when to start a smooth descent.
• Specific Range function allows you to quickly find the most fuel-efficient cruising altitude. You can easily compare between two or three altitudes to determine whether the lower fuel burn at a higher altitude is worth the higher headwind. Great for conserving fuel or extending range.

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, Canadian
and German 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.

What a blessing! I can see this little puppy cutting down fligh planning activities significantly. Plus the build in timers, and other enroute functions are really "at your fingertips". You might seriously consider the slim-line version if your using an integrated kneeboard (I am an old school clipboard guy, so the larger works for me with some Velcro).

Great product. I recommend getting the E6B Training Software. It makes the learning curve easier to climb. A real "Must have" for any flight outside of the landing pattern.

It is easy to read, easy to use and is a wonderful tool, that every pilot or student pilot should have. You should know how to use an e6b 1st, but once you learn this electric e6b, the time saving is amazing....awesome!
Cons
It is a little on the light side, as it is just a plastic calculator, withought much weight behind it.

Pros
After struggling through becoming proficient with the manual E6B, this was a god-send. Yeah I know; what happens in flight when the batteries die? It is always good to take the manual as a back-up. I will also carry extra batteries. No big deal. Every pilot should become proficient with the manual E6B first. If for nothing else, you gain an appreciation for how the electronic unit simplifies your life. Finally, the padded case is very nice quality.
Cons
Real nit-picky, but I would have liked it to have been a little thinner. I have the Brightline Flight Bag. Inside the padded case, the E6B is very snug in the Flight Bag's dedicated compartment. That same compartment is not padded so I cannot just take it out of the case and use the Flight Bag only.
