SPORTY'S E6B
ELECTRONIC FLIGHT COMPUTER
Sporty's E6B Flight Computer is designed to perform 23
aviation functions and 14 standard conversions, and
includes timer and clock functions.
We hope that you enjoy your E6B Flight Computer. Its use
has been made easy through direct path menu selection
and calculation prompting. As you will soon learn, Sporty's

BEFORE USING YOUR E6B
Sporty's E6B Flight Computer requires three 1.5V AAA
batteries (not included) for operation. New batteries should
be installed in the battery compartment located in the top
rear of the computer. Make sure that battery polarity is
aligned correctly.
An opaque plastic film has been placed over the display
screen to protect your E6B during shipping. This film is
easily removed by peeling up one corner and pulling
gently.
This manual is designed to offer an introduction to the
operation of the E6B. For each calculation, a sample
problem has been given.
In order to save power, the display screen automatically
turns off approximately 4 minutes after the last keystroke.
However, the internal clock and timer will continue to run. If
the timer is counting down, it will not shut off for
approximately thirty minutes.
This multi-function computer is authorized and acceptable
for use during FAA and Canadian written tests. All memory
is erased by removing and reinstalling the batteries. NOTE:
This also removes clock settings. References: FAA
Advisory Circular 60-11B and FAA Order 8081D, Conduct
of Airmen Written Tests, April 10, 1989.

The figure above shows all possible displays, prompts and
labels on the E6B. The numeric display is surrounded by
labels for specific problems. Below this are lines of text
representing display prompts, labels, and aviation
functions. Aviation functions available on the E6B will
remain visible whenever the power is on. The display
prompts and labels are only visible when in use.

SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS
ON Turns power on and resets E6B to main menu.
OFF Turns display screen off.
TIMER Starts and stops timer function.
ENTER Selects menu function and enters data input.
=Totals regular calculator functions.
CONV Converts keys to alternate functions.
CLK Controls display and setting of clocks.
C Clears current input line.
Controls function menu cursor. The
function on which cursor is located will
blink. Arrows return computer to main
menu when in an aviation function mode.
+/- Changes negative to a positive and positive to
a negative. A negative number will be denoted
by a minus sign near the upper right hand
corner of the number. For example, to input
-17:
Press 1 7 +/-
And the screen will read 17.-

Your E6B performs all of the standard arithmetic functions
with the keys shown above, (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division). These functions as well as any
conversions can be performed at any time, even while
performing an aviation function. The E6B will display up to
six digits of the answer.
The =key should be used to compute any arithmetic
function
AVIATION FUNCTIONS
The aviation function menu is displayed on the bottom of
the screen. Your E6B will automatically save computed
values from one aviation function to another. To override
this option, key in new value when prompted. The E6B will
save true airspeed, groundspeed, time, and fuel per hour
functions. It will also save cumulative weight and balance
totals.
CONVERSIONS
Conversions are displayed above the appropriate key, and
are listed on the next page. All conversion functions are
keyed into the computer in the same manner. For example,
to convert decimal hours to hours, minutes and seconds:
Input 4 . 2 6 2 5
PressCONV
9
Press 6
The answer, 04:15:45, will appear on the display.
There are no conversion keys for kilometers to statute
miles or statute miles to kilometers. To convert from
kilometers to statute miles, first convert kilometers to
nautical miles, then nautical miles to statute miles.
To convert statute miles to kilometers, first convert from
statute miles to nautical miles, then nautical miles to
kilometers.
NOTE: Conversions may be made at any time and during
any other function. For example, if a calculation prompts
for temperature in Celsius and only Fahrenheit is available,
the Fahrenheit can be entered and converted without
exiting the calculation.
