• Wind triangle: heading, ground speed and wind correction angle, optionally with variation and deviation
• E6B simulator: interactive flight computer with rotating dial and slider
• Holding pattern: ICAO entry sectors (direct, teardrop, parallel) shown graphically

METAR & WEATHER
• Search airports worldwide, METAR and TAF decoded and in raw format
• Crosswind per runway from the current METAR, pressure and density altitude calculated automatically
• Favourites and nearby stations
• Multi-day forecast with wind, gusts, precipitation and pressure

WEIGHT & BALANCE
