APR’s Student Pilot Wind Triangle & T/S/D Navigation Computer features the patent pending exclusive Wind Speed Cusor Arm that quickly tells you groundspeed, wind correction angle, and magnetic heading.

The new APR Windspeed Cursor eliminates two set-ups and the need to mark dots on the plastic disc. This revolutionary windspeed cursor computer is available only from APR through your aviation dealer. There is no similar computer on the market!

The E6-B8D calculates all necessary flight planning and en route navigation requirements. Color-coded sawtooth scales are user-friendly and allow for quick, accurate reading. Instructions printed on the computer make learning faster and easier.

The Time/Speed/Distance computer provides all major navigation computations.

The new APR Windspeed Cursor Arm makes solving wind problems a breeze. Simply set your true course, rotate cursor arm to wind direction, and read your wind correction angle and groundspeed. Instructions for Windspeed Cursor set-up are printed on the computer slide.

The flight planning side of the wind triangle slide shows formulae for true course to compass headings as well as illustrated examples of east/west magnetic variation. Also displayed are definitions relevant to wind triangle problems and diagrams of true heading and true course solutions. The headwind and crosswind component grid depicts the relative wind angle in a multi-color graphic for accurate and easy interpretation. Nautical and Statute scales for Sectional and WAC Charts are printed on the sides of the slide.

Dimensions:  4.5x" x 8.75".  Made of PVC Plastic (not cardboard!).  

Bonus NP-8 Training Plotter Included!   The NP-8 Bonus Training Plotter illustrates how to measure courses on latitude and longitude lines. Four protractor scales and graphic instructions allow you to read courses on the east/west and north/south quadrants and eight scales help to measure statute and nautical distances. The plotter has 1/10” and ¼” rulers and formulae to determine true course to magnetic course and magnetic course to true course. Dimensions: 4.5" x 8.75".  Made with PVC Plastic

Customer Reviews For APR E6-B8DP Deluxe Student Pilot Flight Computer + Plotter: Write a review

Monday, August 29, 2011 E6B Good, Plotter Bad. by Lawrence from Fremont NE USA  Pros: E6B is great. Cons: Plotter is useless. Review: The E6B is a plastic version with easy to read colors and seems much more solid that the paper ones. Also has the new way to check for wind effect rather than the old dot version. The plotter which came with the E6B is worthless. Has a rough backing which is hard to see a map thru. Thought at first it was just a protective cover but it is a permanent rough finish on the back. Also too short, 8 inches compared with a regular plotter which is 13 inches. Monday, June 06, 2011 Great for learning and more by Rene from Alabaster . USA  Pros: easy to read and use , found it useful for almost every calculation I had on my FAA ground test Cons: Would like a little more feedback like ratching notches for the wind arm Review: Excellent readability, was able to use on faa knowledge test and made course plotting a breeze... also made a 90 % on test with the help of this. Thursday, January 27, 2011 by Rampart 31 from APO AE USA  Pros: Size, color coding Cons: Wind triangle side is innovative but would be better with a writeable surface Review: A quality product that's useful in the classroom and cockpit. The size and colors make it easy to read in daylight or under night lighting, unlike many aluminum E6Bs, especialy the micro versions, that can be difficult to read in many lighting situations or turbulence. Tuesday, January 04, 2011 by Bruce Savannah VG XL from Quinns Rocks WA Australia  Pros: easy to read, and robust construction Cons: slippery surface means if can be hard to turn the wheels Review: Value for money Monday, November 08, 2010 Well Made by Richard from DURAND MI USA  Pros: Good Value Cons: None Review: The plastic type material this E6B is made of should last longer than a student "cardboard" version and the plotter is just the right size for my flight bag. Monday, June 28, 2010 I like this E6B by Suzanne from North Wales PA USA  Pros: Plastic material, windspeed indicator Cons: Instructions in separate sheets and hard to find the right one. Review: I like this E6B. The plastic makes it much nicer and not prone to damage. And the extra windspeed feature provides easier calculations.
