My son has just started taking flying lessons. Is this something worthwhile to give him as a gift? Is this something he will eventually need?

My son is currently in flight school beginning a second career. This is something he shared with me about his experiences: Yes, many flight instruments already do the calculations done on an E6B. It is a helpful reduction of in-flight workload. Yes, the CX3 is more accurate and is allowed to be used on the FAA test. He owns one and uses it often. But do keep in mind that while pilots are very well trained and planes are well built, training has taught me that it is VERY important to be prepared for the worst possible outcome, because it CAN happen. It's not likely that your avionics fail AND you run out of batteries for your CX3 AND your iPad dies, but it COULD happen. An E6B is a fantastic backup you can always rely on, and an impressive piece of engineering besides. It is a great gift and a huge asset to have handy, even if it's not used often.

Does it have wind portion on the back?

On the wind side, colors are used to identify wind variation: blue identifies west (or right wind correction angle) and red identifies east (or left wind correction angle)

Spectacular performance

I compete at flight team competitions where I solve 40 computer accuracy questions in an hour. This E6B is a life saver. I use my E6B almost every day to practice, and it has lasted me three years without wearing out. The colors mean that I can easily identify conversions, and the wheel slides well. I highly recommend this version of the E6B manual calculator. It’s much easier to use than the paper, plastic, and even non-colored metal versions. This is the cheapest place I could find this.

Insane quality. Fully metal with a nice case! I'm officially excited to learn it.

I thought it was going to be made of some sort of synthetic paper because I blindly ordered what I saw to be the colour version of the E6B. I couldn't have been more wrong! As soon as I picked up the envelope, I thought "wow, this is strangely heavy". The quality of build and materials is seriously next level, and it's made in Korea. It's very sturdy and fully made of metal. The case is closer to a faux-leather and plastic hybrid, but still an awesome addition I didn't realize came with it. I'm new to aviation and I was struggling to learn it online without having it in my hands yet. Now I'm excited to learn it!
