ASA E6B Metal Flight Computer

I have many from different suppliers, however this one is the best one. I am sure I will use it for the next few years.

Good

Delivered real fast and perfect for training.

This E6B replaces the one I've had since 1966 when I earned my Private Pilot License. At 78 years of age I'm getting back into flying. Since the dials on my 60 year old E6B have become difficult to rotate, I decided to get a new one. The metal design makes it very durable and you can toss it into your flight bag with out worrying about bending it. The calculator side of the E6B is basically a circular slide rule (photo below), a tool that is probably quite foreign to most people today. Now, it's all computers/tablets/cell phones. Back then, slide rules were used to make the calculations that went into designing airplanes, many of which are still flying today. I've included a photo of the calculator side of the E6B and of a Slide Rule so those who may have never seen a slide rule can see how similar they are.

Heavy duty. Works awesome!

mine came dented 😔

It has my son’s seal of approval. He writes on it with dry erase and it comes off. His CFI told him to get the metal one. It’s worth the money from all the pilots we have ask.
