E6B Flight Computer Aviation Plotter Circular Slide Rule Description
1. The E6B flight computer is a type of slide rule used in aviation and is one of the few analog calculating devices widely used in the air.
2. These flight computers are used during flight planning (on the ground before takeoff) to calculate fuel consumption, wind correction, travel time, and other things.
3. In the air, the flight computer can be used to calculate ground speed, estimated fuel consumption, and updated estimated time of arrival. The back is for wind vector calculations to determine how much the wind affects speed and heading. They are often nicknamed "Whiz Wheels."
4. Manual E6Bs remain more popular with some users and in some environments than electronic ones because they are lighter, smaller, less prone to breakage, easy to operate with one hand, faster, and do not require a power connection.
5. Although digital E6Bs are quicker to learn initially, many flight schools still require their students to learn on mechanical E6Bs, and pilots are advised to bring their mechanical E6Bs for written pilot exams and checkrides for necessary calculations.
