For the complex questions near the end of the video I like to use the "Plan" menu and put the data into Leg 1. Enter the given values and it calculates your answer. No switching from "Wind Correction" to "Ground Speed".

Legitimately the most useful video I've seen for FAA Written test prep. You just made my life 1000x times easier

This video is fantastic! If you just got the CX-3 this should be the first video you watch to not only familiarize yourself, but make life easier for test prep overall.

Thank you for not doing one of those drawn out introductions you got right to the point and didn't waste a single second of this video, so helpful. thank you!

I just bought the CX3 and found your videos. Wow! Great videos.

Time in route : when you do that calculation (PLAN, leg 1) then in the same window scroll down when done entering the data and you will find ETE answer. So no need to take GS and go to another window to get time in route

I just started ground school and I’m shopping for an E6B, this video was incredibly helpful and showed how simple it makes the calculations. Thank you!

Hey man, I have to tell you this video was awesome. I purchased the EX3 and the Sportys e6b because I wasn’t sure which was easiest to navigate and the video did it for me. It not only opened my eyes but it got my brain back into learning mode. It’s a no brainer as to which one I’m taking into my private pilot exam. Thank you for the clarity.

I had just bought this calculator based on a recommendation from my flight instructor, and your video was awesome for helping me prep. Your tutorial was terrific and will help my efficiency on the test. Thank you!

Awesome Video Im taking my Written Exam tomorrow and this is really going to help. I struggled with these types of problems on the practice test. Now Im Ace-ing them all.

Just got my CX-3; enjoyed the video. I'm about 50% thru on the PP course, so now I want to go back and check all my calculations in previous lessons with the new CX-3 and my notes.

This video demonstrated the CX-3 very well, demonstrating how to break the more complex equations into simpler operations.

My CX-3 hasn't come in yet, but just watching you solve these makes me EXCITED for it to arrive. I have been using my mechanical E6b and I'm excited to upgrade to a quicker way (especially since they took 30 minutes off of the Written).

This video is the best. I passed my private pilot airplane knowledge test with flying colors. Greg thank you

Sir this video is actually the MOST helpful aviation video I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for doing it and making our life easier in how take advantage of our CX3. Cheers !!!

Excellent. I am SO glad I finally got my hands on the CX3. I love it.

I was struggling with the directions for my CX-3 now with your video ..it makes sense..Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to utilize this.

This was an awesome video to use as source of learning for my PPL. Thank you and happy flying.

Thank you I suck at math and this will be a god send

This took hours off of my study time! Thanks!

I am student in your online school, thanks for this video (and all videos)... I purchased this calculator right after I saw the video in your school course, its useful device simplified the entire quizzes and tests ((BTW, I wish you move the video to the beginning of the course rather than the end similar to the other FAA written test tools video)) Thanks Greg for your great work

Fantastic video. I just bought this calculator. Can’t wait to give it a try.

I used the Plan function to get the 30 minutes answer for the last two of the last three questions. for ETA. Entered in all the data in the leg and then added the 2 minutes climb out to get the same answer.

Amazing. This is exactly what I need!

Iv just getting a CX-3 Flight computer and it take a bit to get the hang of it. but this video as help me alot I think iv got to practors a bit more to get the hang of it. but thank you for this video it was a great help for me

Excelent tutorial, thanks.

Woah! This made my life easier!! Thank you so much!

Thank you for a GREAT tutorial!

It would be great if someone can post a video with Nav logs using the cx3😩

Great walkthrough and well done.

Great explanation! Thanks

Thank you so much! Very helpful and very well explained!

THIS IS GOLD! Thank you SO MUCH!

Wow, I get it now. Thank you!

Hey Greg, I am definitely getting one tomorrow (Tuesday) from Amazon

Great explanations, very helpful!

Great tutorial. A Tip: you don't need to go into calculator mode. Simply press - and M and it will delete the memory number from the currently highlighted number.

This video is great!! I love the question examples, pausing to calculate, and being able to have an explanation right away to check my work. Just got my CX-3 and I was lost. Great starting point not only in how to use the machine, but also how to incorporate it on the exam. Thank you so much! Hopefully you will be able to create more videos like this one.

This helped tremendously. Thank you!

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING 💯

Outstanding! This lesson on the use of the CX-3 with great example problems could not have been better. I have watched it many times and worked through the problems - I could not have passed the FAA Knowledge Exam without it. I would really like to see a similar lesson for W&B using FAA KE example questions - as well as how to use the CX-3 W&B functions. Thank you very much!

Greg! Première bonne nouvelle de l'année. Je vien de commander en urgence ^^

fantastic explanation. THANK YOU

Best video my friend, thank you!

FYI You can use Memory / Calc as such - saves few more steps and makes it even faster. Eg. Tef ins from 30-50F @ 3000MSL - Goto FLT> Altitude > Enter PAlt = 3000; OAT=30 DAlt = 1767

This is amazing explanation 👍👍👍👍 thank you very much 🙏

This was awesome! Thank you!

Awesome video!!! Thank you!!

Thank you for this tutorial - very helpful! I will say that I found it easier to use the Xwind component chart than the E6-B. 🤣I'd love an example of cloud base where the FAA uses MSL.

This is an awesome video thank you so much!

Very useful video! Thanks

Excellent thank you so much!!!

great video! thank you

Excellent. Thank you

Thank you so much this cx3 was driving me mad 😡 lol 😂

Great stuff!

Nevermind I subscribed and just found it!

Great video

Amazing!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the mind blowing information i wanna become pilot 🤩🍷

Really helpful!

Im currently studying for my exam, although i dont have any questions i just wanted to say thank you for being so willing to help all of us students out here. I can see that more than half of the students don't respond when you do to their question. Don't let that deter you man cause its a huge help for us to learn from someone like yourself

My opinion is it is better to master the pure manual device and become proficient in its use. The electronic devices are quick and very easy to use, but, the do rely on batteries, electronics which can fail. An E6B or, here in the UK a Crp1 calculator is quite easy to use. Just constant awareness of decimal places and it is a device that is guaranteed never to fail.

Thanks!

Thank you 🙇 so much

Nice Job...

Good Morning, Your video on the CX-3 is very good, at the end you ask if we have questions or would like to see more help, my request is can you please go over in detail the weight shift program on the CX-3, it seems a lot of questions are popping up on the CPL exam on this subject matter, so to get a better understanding of the function of the weight shift button would be of a great help to myself and I am sure others........Thank you

Greg, this is an awesome post! Appreciate you taking the time to run through the functions of the CX-3. Prepping for the AGI exam and the CX-3 calculations for PAlt are about 20-25 ft different than the results if using the mathematical calculations (and the correct answer) for standard pressure lapse rate. Example: IAlt -1850 Baro - 30.18 CX-3 result: 1612 ft Mathematical Result: 29.92 - 30.18 = -.26 (x1000 = -260); 1850 -260 = 1590 ft Any ideas why the discrepancy?

Thank you

Underrated video!!

You can do the more complex things in one step by putting them into PLAN as a leg.

can someone explain why on the wind component questions you assumed that the runway was north (runway 36 or 360) is there a word im missing or is it just basic knowledge.

I think you have to convert C to F and then make that equate to that number as this does not work with Negative C values.

good stuff

Thank you for making this video! I wanted to see which E6B would be helpful on the test, and this was such a great tutorial and shows how the CX-3 works for these. On a side note, a lot of the steps can be skipped with simple math so hope everyone doesn't rely too much on punching in the numbers.

Yes, So the way you have to put -10 Degrees C is convert -10 to 14 Degrees F. Then enter it in as 14 degrees F. It will then enter properly. They should make it so that you can just press the negative key and it shows next to the number such as -10 degrees C, it should take as -10 degrees C. and not change to 10 degrees C. Electronic computers sometimes makes mistakes and does strange things. Make sure you show all the steps and do not skip the steps. The problem is people fail to test the software and push it on us as beta testers. This is aviation. We need to get it right. THIS IS WHY THE E6B MECHANICAL COMPUTER IS STILL AROUND. There are way to many bugs with the electronic flight computers.

Why aren't you just using the PLAN screen for the en route questions? It seems to do the same thing, but all one screen.

Can you please explain as how to use Rat: __:1 variable in Glide function? Also as how to enter the ILS 2 dot(0.35°) deflection on a 3° slope to be entered?

How do I do the second question with sporty electronic e6b? Is not giving me option to in put the pressure altitude. Please help 🙏!

Can you use the CX-3 to find magnetic heading?

Great video, quick question. When you were dealing with crosswind component I noticed you typed in360 instead of just 36. I also noticed that the answer was different depending on which one I would typed in. Isn't typing in 36 the same as typing in 360? And why would Answer. be different based on the input?

Can you please let us know how to calculate true altitude with cx-3. Thank you.

The weight and balance feature wasnt covered, do you have another video on that? I know its simple, but i can't get it to calculate on its own

Does this calculator have a function for maneuvering airspeed?

Can you please cover weight and balance?

Ive spent hours fiddling on my calculator In highschool when I didn't know what to do I think I got it covered

Where can I confirm on FAA web site that CX-3 or electronic E6B is allowed in Private Pilot written exam? I heard examiner has right to take it away and ask student to use manual E6B. is that correct?

Hi, hoping you can help me with this one, using the cx3: Determine your fuel consumption for a 500 nautical mile flight using the following conditions? Pressure altitude - 6,000 ft, Temperature - +26°C, Manifold pressure - 21"" Hg, Wind - Calm.... The chart shows 11.5gph and true airspeed of 161kn

Pity that EASA (=EUROPE) does NOT allow this computer during exams. We may "only" use simple calculators or mechanical computers and that´s it. Even during check-rides it is frowned upon to use CX-3 for even checking if your pre-flight preparation is correct and the examinators put you through hell once they see it in your hands. I get the logic, that it gives you a major advantage comparable to students without it and especially it is not very affordable/overpriced and basically it is an another proof how European standards are higher than in countries of FAA, but it still drives me crazy. Great video tho.

Hi Gregg, can you please tell me how to enter NSEW in the coordinates plotting under rhumb line? If i want to enter 50deg how do i tell the cx3 if its north or south under latitude? Or if i want to plot 30deg longitude, how do i tell the cx3 its east or west? Thanks

Hi Greg, Hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe during this terrible in our world. Can you use the CX-3 for the FAA 107 exam?

Awesome video! Thank you soooo much!!! Can we use this device at PPL written exam since has the memory option?

Is there a way to use it to do the landing ground roll speed questions ?

You can use this on the exam?

Excellent video. Is it possible to get the takeoff distance on the CX-3? The (figure 40) takeoff distence graph is terrible.

Dude You are a fucken beast thank you for making the video made my day a hell of a lot easier Fuck the E6B lol

Determine the total distance required to land. OAT 32 'F Pressure Altitude 8,000ft Weight 2,600lb Headwind Component 20kts Obstacle 50Ft

On the Airspeed, my CX-3 came out with 140.78 CAS?

Are u on instagram? I love your channel. Best regards
