The Attitude Indicator™ Expert Review:
Lesson Number 1... Electronics Generally require batteries, and batteries generall fail when you need them the most. Murphy had a point when he said that whatever can go wrong will go wrong. This is our principle reason for disliking the electronic E6-B's such as the one depicted below. It isn't because we are old fashioned and just prefer to do it the long way, for us, its a matter of safety. Secondly, the electronic flight computer's are in our opinions inferior to the metal slide e6-b's. It's not like a scientific calculator that really can do complicated calculations much faster than the average person. We challenge anyone who thinks that they can work the electronic version faster than we can work the original flight computer.
As for plotter's, we sell the only one we truly love! The Ultimate rotating plotter makes plotting quick and easy because of the rotating azimuth. Half-azimuth fixed plotters are ridiculous and time consuming to figure out even for us veteran flight instructors!
