Helped me save time and pass my test!!
Would highly recommend this to any pilot that is in the process of training. I recently had to take my private pilot test and this was a live saver. I didn’t like the “guesswork” of the manual e6b. I could struggle my way through it, but it wasn’t very precise. This is a totally different story. It is super easy to use. Gives precise calculations. Is FAA approved for use on knowledge exams. And saves so much time and headache with a bunch of different questions. Well worth the investment if you are still in flight training. Fits well in a flight bag to help with all of your cross country flight planning needs, has a backlight so it can be used in the light or dark and the display is super easy to read.

ASA vs Sporty's ASA Wins!
I bought this and the sporty's flight computer to compare. I found this one easier to use and much easier to see. Even with my readers it's not easy to see the fine print under each key on the sporty's version. It just made more sense using this one also. One single key does unit conversions and will do so for whatever you are currently looking at. One button only. Sporty's has a different conversion button for each unit designation and you must read very small print under each small key to get to the correct one. The ASA version has simple back space button also if you made an incorrect entry. Super easy. I'm sure there's a way on the sporty's version too but I didn't readily see how to do that in several minutes of using it....what's that tell ya? The COLORED screen show you a green = sign to show this is a calculated field from the numbers you entered. Hence sometimes you see a number you weren't even looking for but because you entered enough data fields it displays and = sign and ALL the related fields it figured out. It takes a bit of time to determine what screen is used for each problem you are looking to solve. For instance endurance will likely be in the 'fuel' category etc. One thing some have complained about is there's no way to clear the computer without removing the battery. I too had a problem it was remembering data entries I didn't want it to so it could possibly give me the wrong answer. But this is because it's trying to show you ALL the possible answers per your entires and carry them over to relevant other screens. However it's very easy to simply start at the top of the screen hit '0' then 'enter' then simply repeat hitting those two same buttons and it walks down the screen and zeros all entires to start over. So it takes all of about 2-3 seconds to clear all entries. You do not need to remove the batteries. Unlike the sporty's version this one has lighted keys! If you were trying to use this in a darker environment no problem... you could be in big trouble trying to do that with sporty's. The screen on sporty's lights up but NOT the keys. Another thing I like better is the keys are bigger on the ASA !! NICE! I was far less likely to make a typing mistake by hitting the wrong key. The sporty's version has very small keys... easy to make a mistake.... and I don't need any help making mistakes I can do that all by myself pretty easy lol. The buttons on the ASA feel very sturdy... easy and predictable when pressed with a distinct 'click' when doing so. Not as obvious with the sporty's. So all in all after trying both I definitely liked the ASA version the best. Plus it looks cool... modern. You can even change the color of the text. About the only thing I could complain about is it came with no user manual. These days not big deal just look on-line right?.... But it would have been a real 10 out 10 if it came with a small cheat sheet that fit right in the cover that would help you know which screen for what answer... like 'Endurance = Fuel' or TR'cs = TRIP .. you figure it out but a little cheat sheet would have been the ACE in the hole. You won't be disappointed with the ASA version. It feels solid and seems very well made. Its operation is just about as novice / user friendly as you could get.

Computer saves a lot of work.
Makes it easier for a student pilot like myself to figure out data needed to fly correctly.

private pilot EFB
This calculator literally got me my writing with 10-15 minutes and the manual before hand. This handy little thing will carry you through private pilot utilize only it, and you will not regret buying it as long as you learn it first. but you will probably sell it to a junior pilot before the airlines once you get into a flight bag/app sportys or ect. This calculator loses some of it's appeal but is worth it for early private pilot students.

Essential tool for the pilot
I bought this product a while ago but I didn't have a chance to use then.Use it in a few tests, it is a great product for test.There are a few problems though that I think the company has to fix, the product keeps numbers used before sometimes it is annoying to delete those numbers again and again.You can find all the needed calculations.For instance, the machine does not have scientific calculation, you cannot do Cos, Tan, Sin, if you want to calculate stall speed in airplane turns, so I had to use two different calculators which is kind of a problem, because sometimes they do not allow you to get in the test to kind of calculators.The solar panel could be nice toReduce the battery consumption.

FAA written test approved
The best FAA written test study prep material/tool you’ll find. You can literally take this calculator into the testing center and use it for all of your cross country, fuel planning, wind direction and speed, and W&B questions. They don’t question you about it. I’ve used this calculator on 5 of my written exams. Just buy this thing. Good luck!
