- mikesinventions.etsy.com Sporty's Electronic E6B Ultimate Guide shows you how to use the E6B in great detail. Timestamped chapters are in the comments below. In this video, I show you the steps you'd use, in the order you'd use them, to plan a flight. This flight computer can do everything you need, except fly the plane. Batteries might have been included. I've probably put in more editing effort with this video than any other. I hope you all feel that this video is helpful as you learn your way around the Sporty's Electronic E6B.

I've bee flying 25+ years and needed to convert my FAA ATP to another country's ATP, but they required me to do an ATP test, maaany years after I did mine, so I had to go back to basics and study again and this required to learn again how to use this E6B, this tutorial was all I needed. I'm form going from a G600 to a Global 7500 and this was a great tool for me, buddy you never know who you're helping out, thanks a lot.
That's awesome Franco. Glad it helped, and I'm certainly envious of what you'll be flying.
@@MikesInventions well, hopefully one day you will be flying something like this or even better, safe landings buddy.
Hands down best electronic E6B video on YT! Thank you!!
Thanks for taking the time and making this video, very straightforward. You are an intelligent guy. I saved the video and I know I will be revisiting it for I just bought this E6B for my training. Thanks again man. Extremely informative and you did a great job editing to make it easy to follow.
I gained such great understanding with my device, I'm very glad I bought it and it does worth the buck. Thanks for your meticulous work. Your video has made a difference. May God bless you!
Aww Thanks!
Mike, you are fast! Efficient! I just got the electronic E6B and while flying home commercial over the Atlantic to Europe you taught me how to use it (thanks for the download feature, UA-cam). IN In a nutshell, yes, this is the BEST instruction video for the electronic E6B. Thanks so much!
Thanks Georg! Glad it helped you out.
Thanks for the video! I just got this E6B and had no idea how to use it. I’m sure I will reference this video again soon. 😁
Best video on UA-cam!!! Thank you so much for making it!
Heck of a video. Thank you for going over some many different figures the calculator has! I needed some help with the WT/ARM section for commercial practice questions!
This great! I just got this and started my journey for my PPL. Thanks again!
That’s awesome that you’re going for it. It’s one of the most fun things you can do.
great video very informative
Thank you. Like how you are a smart alec ... "slave job". I just got my E6B Sportys and the instructors at the school do know or like it very much. I'll save this video for refreshing later. You made it seem simple.
Great job!
I truly appreciate you. God Bless you
I used the Pressure Density/alt function and matched it to 819 elev, temp 23c and the density alt was off 256 from ForeFlight density altitude
Thanks for video. It helps a lot. Next time please please pleeeeeease do it slowly
Very informational video. Why is the TAS calculated through ACT TAS and PLAN TAS different?
Thanks Tony. Glad it helped. How different are you talking about?
@@MikesInventions At minute 9:42, the TAS is 105.8 and at minute 10:11 the TAS is 106.1. I got a bit confused. Can you help?
@@tonyl9051 It's just some sort of rounding math error within the computer. Obviously, for any sort of test or actual planning, the speed you'd use would be 106. The difference of 0.3 kts is meaningless. Good eye! You were obviously paying very close attention. Thanks for watching
@@MikesInventions Thank for the replies and the help. Keep putting out videos.
Setting the clock is super hard. I was not able to do this. Guess I need to get some geek to do that for me. I use the manual E6b but it does take longer to calc. the cross winds and so. I need something to speed things up.
I think it is just so much easier for me to use my brain to add or subtract the 7 hours time. So much easier. No need to set the clock. The only clock that is accurate is the cell phone clock. I use that clock and just do the conversions in my head. All other clocks are wrong and totally incorrect. Never trust a clock unless it is a clock on your computer, or on your phone.
You're certainly right about which clocks are to be trusted. Did you ever give the E6B clock another try?
@@MikesInventions I find the mechanical E6B ti work just fine. I can do the calculations much faster and easier to use the mechanical E6B.
This is supposed to be easier than the E6B? 😵💫
My thoughts exactly. I just ordered one and it arrived in the mail today. My brain is fried

You need to slow down when talking.
