Jeppesen E6b Manual
Seriously, the comments about having wind calculators on our phones is spot on. Big shout out to Sporty's pilot shop E6B application for iPad. Most university students carry a phone a tablet and a laptop so the redundancy is there already and it is expected. Back in that other bastion of general aviation ('murica) the FAA and CAP respectively are considering recommendations in their survival pages for a fully charged mobile phone and a butane cigarette lighter or two. This is to replace the matches or flint and portable 121.5 Mhz beacon previously specified (waaaay back). Simply, phone coverage is just that good there, it is worth considering.

Yes I still practise my whizz wheel. I also know it is less accurate than the electronic version but still good enough for a bug smasher driver. Ok, so I am as tech literate as the top 5% of people. Was in flight Port Macquarie to Ballina, just west of Coffs, near CTA.iPad stopped, phone stopped, nothing, and my triathlon watch had no GPS signal, even my AvMap in my aircraft had no signal.I will reveal why later.now on the coast that's not an issue.you know there is an airport directly N or S. But what do you do if your 200 nm west of whoopdy doo with limited landmarks, limited roads and aerodromes that are very hard to spot, even when you know where they are. And your rustys as hell because you have become reliant on technology.its a very dangerous and serious issue and you won't realise how serious till it happens.
Then this part is theoretical, but let's assume your in an area which I have been multiple times SW of Tamworth and radar has no idea where you are? They can't help you either. Believe me when this happens, the most high priority thing you will do is re-study all those onerous manual calculations and dead reckoning. Im am in agreeance that iPad flying is far safer than dead reckoning. However when technology glitches, like it inevitably does, you better damn well know how to dig yourself out of that luxurious hole in a hurry. Ok, so I am as tech literate as the top 5% of people.

In all seriousness, it's not like when you are using a GPS you have no idea where you are.
It's also not as if, if you are near or in controlled airspace and you are out of options, you can't just call up and ask for help. I've flown all over the country and can't think of one scenario when a total GPS failure would have bothered me to the point of fearing for my life. I get why DR navigation was so important in the day, but come on, it's 2016. And besides, if that really was a complete no no, then what about IFR when you are relying on a bunch of devices that could very well fail. Does that mean we shouldn't fly IFR at all? Long story short, I'd rather take my chances on my 5 GPS devices simultaneously failing and simultaneously being both over an area where I couldn't make a precautionary landing if needed and an area with no radar coverage than have to keep up with all this whizz wheel rubbish.disclaimer.I have to do a flight test next week so am currently in the process of re learning all of this whizz wheel rubbish. Just a quick personal experience note - early in my training days I got the E6B flight computer - big solid metal thing, that is pretty neat, but completely un-practical in the cockpit.

Just got my CR-2 (pock size) and went through the manual last night - the wind calculations are a bit more involved, but nothing too scary, and 1-in-60 type calculations are a doddle. Will need to spend a bit more time getting the process down, but certainly looking forward to being able to use it instead of trying to do mental calculations in the cockpit. One downside is the size of the numbers on the scale, as the eyesight is not as great as it use to be.
