A little rusty on correcting for compressibility

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

No E6B needed. I took 3 writtens at his house

Plus you can use it in the gentle grip of one hand in turbulence for a plethora of functions.

I forgot abut written exams being taken at someone's house.  I did my PPL like that however many years later when I did my IR it was at a modern computer testing center.

Must be a fake — if it were a genuine 1960s Mooney item it would have about two dozen screws in it.

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

[midlifeflyer]

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,.

That is very cool!
