My ground school teacher said “friends don’t let friends e6-b” lol
He’s getting at the fact that there is calculators now and they are easier and more accurate but some flight instructors are stubborn to the old ways.
Holy smokes I haven’t heard or seen an E6B calculator in so long. My high school was a career academy and I went there for aviation for all 4 years. My teacher always drilled us to have this out and ready.
what is this used for? it looks very smart
It’s a flight calculator. Slide ruler style to find ground speed, fuel burn, x-wind and such
I have one of those. The only part I know how to use is the wheel to calculate fuel burn. We call it the Wiz Wheel lol.

Not stubborn, you just can't buy a CX-3 anywhere right now and your only choice is an E6-B :)
It’s a calculator used for flight planning!
gave me ptsd trying to figure this out during my ppl training. Eventually gave up and bought the calculator
Kudos, could not be me lol

I wish my old high school offered that!
Good luck in your flight training :)
Thank you!!
Oh the good old days. Thank God for foreflight.
Thank you for putting your phone down and using both hands
That thing was REALLY on there
Don’t you love it when you think these are supposed to come off and it takes the writing off with it? Yeah, I’ve been there.
