I am about to embark on x country training and would welcome advice from you all regarding these whizz wheels... and especially the relative merits of the EB-6 and the Jeppesen models.

 

One opinion is that the Jeppesens win because they are easy to keep in a pocket. I imagine they are similar in function, if not in form.

 

So, what do you use, and why...

I use the large round one that you are contemplating. Down-side is that they are expensive and large, but the upside is that you read them easier because the text is bigger. A little overpriced in OZ also for what you are buying.

 

Once shown how to use it you'll find it really easy.

I use a Jeppesen CR3 which is I think the 6 inch version. Better for ageing eyes than the smaller one. Easy enough to use for all the basics.

I use a Kane E6B which is large and easy to read, but is also very sturdy. Price ceases to be a problem when you consider mine is 40 years old and as good as new.

I use a Kane too . It is old , and borrowed , the best sort I reckon because it's free . It does the job .

If you are about to start cross country training, then obvioulsy you are the proud owner of a pilot certificate.

 

How does it feel :big_grin: Fantastic. When did it happen, and who signed you off ?
