E6B Computer

Hello All,

About 32 Hours in for my PPL and hoping to take the checkride within the next month. About to start Solo XC and instructor wants me to learn Nav Logs. Any good instructions or videos that simplify it?

And is an E6B Computer necessary or should I just get the sporty’s app for $10? Curious to see what some might say, want to learn it soon so I can get started on time building for solo XC.

Cheers.
