Popular among military pilots, it features a high-speed and low-speed wind correction slide, high-speed compressibility table, and instruction manual. Micro E6-B performs all the standard manual flight computer functions, and it conveniently fits in a shirt pocket or glove box. |
Reviews
Perhaps a little too small for my over-fifty eyes, but the old Plastic and Cardboard E6B that came with my Cessna Pilot Center student kit in 1987 was warped and stained and no longer airworthy.

Fully usable, but the wheel is a little stiff to turn, so its hard to get right on a heading or airspeed. Also a little hard to read, but thats a feature of its small size, so not a complaint. In general, I find the cheap cardboard ones a little easier/faster, but Im still a sucker for analogue gadgets like this. One nice feature is that the sliding card is reversible, so you can flip it around for higher-speed wind-triangle calculations. The default side is calibrated up to 270 kt/mph/kph, and the flip side is calibrated up to 700 kt/mph/kph.
