If you are thinking of starting a career in aviation get this for your education

this calculator is amazing. I hated the e6b turntable so I bought this and am very glad I did. This calculator makes weighing and balancing as well as planning VFR cross-country flights easy. Also, the fact that you can use this FAA-approved calculator for use on the FAA's written exams should make you buy it alone. It helped me a lot with each of my written exams. It takes a bit of trial and error at first to figure out how to use all the features and that might be my only complaint that it's…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • everything is fine

Both devices I ordered were defective or broken.

Working good electronic E6B. Saved a lot of time for written and other FAA tests. My problem is related to the production/quality of the product. It's very light and feels cheap at $100. The first one I ordered was dead on arrival as it was completely missing two battery contacts making it unusable and repairable. After returning, the second one they sent had a loud rattle. Opened it up and found a faulty electrical component inside the device. I really wanted to love this product but so far…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Only available in black

Looks great and serves its purpose.

The first impression was excellent. The box and factory packaging were professional. AAA batteries are included, which is a plus. However, there are few differences. First, where is the USB cable for this? It wasn't there, and I had to rummage through some obsolete cables in my sundries box. Second, the back design is terrible. To insert 4 AAA batteries, you have to open the back cover all the way, and the small retaining clips feel very fragile. I have a feeling that after a few openings to…

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Don't know

Better than the Sporties E6B.

I bought an E6B from Sportie and found it clunky, the buttons reminded me of one of those cheap calculators you buy at Walmart. The ASA buttons are one-piece and therefore one-piece. The features are very easy to set up and the flight planning section is very easy to use. The only thing I would caution the prospective student to do is make sure you know what radius you are using for the outbound (hold) course. Sometimes test questions tell you about the incoming radial and not the outgoing…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Minor issues
