RLCarter Posted June 30, 2020 Report Posted June 30, 2020 E6B’s are awesome, there was a thread a few years ago asking if they should still be taught when the new glass avionics can do it all for you. Let’s see you get your avionics into a testing center for a written 1 Quote
Shiny moose Posted June 30, 2020 Report Posted June 30, 2020 , I remember my first written, sitting at a dining room table, the dudes cat in my lap, while I filled in circles. No E6B needed. I took 3 writtens at his house Quote

No E6B needed. I took 3 writtens at his house I’ve taken the PAR, IRA, CAX and needed an E6B either manual or electronic on all of them. Studying for my AGI and FIA now and definitely need an E6B for them. Not sure how anyone can get through a test with out one Quote
midlifeflyer Posted June 30, 2020 Report Posted June 30, 2020 I don't recall using a manual one since my private checkride in 1990, except when teaching. I bought the Sporty's electronic one for the instrument rating, kept it in my flight bag in case I needed it and eventually sold it when I found it was never used. Don't recall ever using either in flight,. Quote
