Jeppesen Student Flight Computer (CSG) JS514101

very good

After flying for over 50 years, I am now teaching flight and ground school at a local Community College flight science program. Beside teaching electronic flight bag, the DPE insists we teach the paper and pencil methods too. I have not used an E6B for decades, so needed one to reacquaint myself with this tool. Back before EFB, we would buy metal version of these for durability, but then we needed them for years of service for every flight. Today, after initial training and testing, I seriously doubt if this tool will travel with them. However, you cannot use your iPAD with EFB on the written tests. Other that training, the convenience of EFB such as Foreflight, Garmin Pilot, and others have made this tool almost obsolete. There are other variations of this tool such as the Jeppesen CR-3, or the Sporty's Electronic E6B. They work well and I have each. For my Commercial through CFII written tests, I used the Electronic E6B and was very happy with it's easy operation.

Was looking for a flight computer on Amazon but didn't want to spend $50 on a high quality metal one so I opted for this. Because of the price, I was a little worried the quality would not be that good and it would fall apart on me after a couple of uses and being thrown around in my backpack.I've not had that problem at all. The paper is high quality and I've had no issues with rips or tears.Perfect for new or already experienced pilots who need a flight computer and don't want to spend a ton getting one.

Functional and easy to use for pilots in training. Instruction manual can be a bit confusing. Check YouTube for better tutorials.

Very helpful learning how to use when studying for ground school.

My husband bought this for studying for his aviation exams! Works well! Good quality.

Been working well probably since the wright brothers took to the air. Can’t beat something that’s worked forever.

Does what it's supposed to do.
