  • Where is true altitude

    Bought before my CX2 arrives to start learning altitude conversions and it's annoying that it does not calculate true altitude!
  • Solid, easy

    Way better than other e6b options. My one gripe and feature request is that the Next, Previous, and tapping an entry field select the full value so I can enter a replacement on the keyboard without hitting the C button every time to clear, since flight planning involves keeping some values the same while changing others for similar calculations.

  • Fantastic for sim pilots too

    Although this was made to help real world pilots. I've found it increases my enjoyment of flight sim aircraft a lot as well.
    The descent functions alone are well worth the cost for me. I don't even really pay attention the FMS suggested VNAV anymore on one of my aircraft, this is more accurate!
    Im very happy, thanks a lot!

  • Great for flight planning

    An instructor recommended this to me to save time on flight plans. While you still need to know how to use the old fashioned E6B, this is such a great tool to have at your disposal. It is simple to use and so far has been accurate. I so learning about all it's features but so far, it's great.
  • Basic

    It's OK but has only very basic functions.

    Version 2.0 looks much better than the original.
  • More units please

    Looking for calculations in kg for fuel not just pounds!
  • Sporty's E6B

    I'm pretty disappointed with this calculator. It does not live up to it's Hype of providing the calculations you can expect on theFAA Knowledge Test. It does not address 'Corrected Altitude", "Off Course Correction", "Determining Magnetic Heading and Groundspeed" or "Determining Wind Direction and Speed". It seems to me this could be easily fixed but it is not in the current App. You'll still need to carry your cardboard Flight Computer with all the confusing methods of determining the aforementioned computations.

  • Mass & Balance Let Down

    I enjoy the app and feel it is a great tool however you cannot use the mass & balance option. The problem is that when you enter a new aircraft profile and provide the basic empty mass of the aircraft and centre of gravity position, the system does not recognize decimal points. So my aircrafts CG position is 75.25 but it won't recognize the .25 having a huge effect on the moment calculated which would lead to my mass & balance being incorrect. It is also a pity that you cannot delete or rename the set entries. The system automatically inserts a rear passenger listing and two baggage areas. On the training aircraft I fly we don't have two baggage areas nor rear passengers and there is no way of removing or renaming these listings.

  • Essential Tool

    Great little app that takes the stress out of in flight and pre flight planning calculations.

    A must have app for all pilots!!
  • More metric support please

    How about fuel conversions in kilograms & tonnes please.
