Powerful, intuitive E6b Calculations for ipad
I am a student pilot who dislikes using handheld E6b calculators and instead loves the Gyronimo E6b Pro Pad app. It is quick, easy and intuitive and also allows you to visualize classical E6b flight computer calculations if you so choose. My favorite feature is the course plotter which instantly gives magnetic compass headings calculated using authentic isogonic magnetic variability. My only complaint is the city/airport location search bar, which in my ipad pro doesn’t seem to do anything at all. I’m hoping to update this through customer support.
P.S. It would be a great addition if multiple winds aloft could be somehow entered to calculate optimal cruising altitude for best groundspeed.

Graphical E6B Precision
It appears there is a slight misalignment of the marks on the A and B scale. Or maybe it’s the display on my iPad. Checking simple conversions such as kg to lbs results in a small but noticeable error.
Other than that, wonderful app.

Exceptional teaching and operational tool
This is one of those tools that is useful from Student to ATP, and from Ground School to Flight Level.
Incredibly Useful
This is the most useful aviation app I’ve found, aside from my EFB and another great weight & balance app by this developer. It takes a very complex set of calculations, presents them in a way that makes sense, and makes the user interface touchscreen simple. I really like the conversions that are visible at all times in the calculator screen. The ability to use the old school whiz wheel is very cool, I wish I’d had that when I was a student!

The app
I’m using the app just recently. The first thing I noticed is that when you planning route you need to calculate each single leg separately. The app is not showing all the headings and times for all the route at once on one screen. This one future is missing in my opinion. Apart from this very helpful app.
