## What is E6B Pro Pad?

Gyronimo's E6B Pro Pad. The Digital Flight Computer.

*** NEW: Now with Holding Pattern Computer *******

Gyronimo introduces the ultimate flight computer for the iPad 2,3 iPad Mini and newer. Optimized for Retina screens.

The E6B Pro Pad features:

- Window Based Flight Computer - Calculate and compare various functions at the same time.

- Course Plotter with World Map and Auto Variation Finder. Get your heading and wind correction angle in seconds.

- Wind Components Calculator. Calculate crosswind and headwind components.

- Over 30 conversions. 

- Graphic E6B with Demo Mode and Training Section! Sit back and watch how the fully animated graphic E6B solves the equations for you.

All this without any necessary subscriptions or monthly fees!



Window Based Flight Computer
The E6B Pad provides a revolutionary new way to compute functions and convert values.
All functions are window based. Open various windows at the same time and arrange them over the screen.
Use the "Compare Scenarios" function to save your computations and to quickly recall them.
All window positions and setups will be saved as well.

The Conversions Bar
All conversion values are organized in a bar on top of the screen. Just slide to the desired section and 
enter a value. All others will be computed automatically.


Course Plotter with World Map
Use the Course Plotter to get Lat / Long Coordinates, distances, measure Tracks, set wind values and compute your Magnetic Heading.
The Auto Variation function computes the Magnetic Variation (Declination) at all points on the globe using a complex algorithm. 
As you move across the globe the variation will be updated automatically and the Mag Compass rose will point to the magnetic north pole.


Find Airports and Towns using the Find Locations function on three different map types. 
(if you use iOS 5 these maps will be provided by Google. If you use iOS 6 the maps will be by Apple)


Wind Components Calculator
Calculating your cross and headwind components can not be faster. Dial in runway and wind direction and set a wind speed.
The E6B pad will calculate crosswind, head/tailwind component and present the results graphically.

Graphic E6B with Demo Mode!
Although the computer does all the necessary computations for you, the good old graphic E6B will live forever. 
So we have built in a fully animated graphic E6B with wind slider and calculator wheel. 
You can use either use it like you would  use any E6B, by manually rotating the wheels or
go to the -E6B Training Section-, enter the necessary values and hit DEMO. Now the build in E6B will
show you step by step how to calculate your numbers. 
Use the demo to find heading, wind speed, Flight Distance, Time and Airspeed.
Again, this is not a stored demo. The E6B is fully animated. You can use ANY values for the demo (within range of the graphical display)

The E6B is designed to be extended! If you miss a function, please let us know. We will build it in.

The current list of functions
Find Time, Speed, Distance, True Airspeed, Mach, Heading, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Pressure Alt, 
Density Alt, Indicated Altitude, ISA Level, Pressure Level, True Altitude, Required Descent Rate, Required Climb Rate,
Fuel Consumption, Fuel Burn, Endurance, Point of Safe Return, Point of Equal Times, Weight & Balance Table,
Add & Remove Weight.

### 4/5 — Powerful, intuitive E6b Calculations for ipad

*2020-02-01, version 3.0*

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.

### 4/5 — Graphical E6B Precision

*2018-08-23, version 3.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Exceptional teaching and operational tool

*2018-07-19, version 2.9*

This is one of those tools that is useful from Student to ATP, and from Ground School to Flight Level.

### 5/5 — Incredibly Useful

*2018-04-03, version 2.9*

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!

### 4/5 — The app

*2018-02-27, version 2.9*

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.

### 5/5 — Excellent!!!!!!!

*2017-04-08, version 2.8*

The best E6B ! Great tool  for flight planning . Thank you do much for creating this amazing tool . Great for pilots makes it so much easier!

### 4/5 — E6B conversion rings mismatch a little.

*2016-04-10*

On the conversion side (slide rule) of the Classic E6B, the outer and inner rings don't match perfectly across the full range of values so this introduces small errors for many calculations. This could present a danger for altitude calculations. Unfortunately this fault is likely to void the use of this rather good product for professional aviation. Hopefully this can be corrected fairly soon.

Ver: 2.1

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2015-09-21, version 2.0*

As a student pilot I find this app extremely useful. It does just as it says in the description. I've been using it for a while and I'm still discovering new features. The user interface is very intuitive. The animated E6B mode teaches you how to use the thing graphically, at least for me it's so much easier to learn it this way. You get your money's worth with this app.

### 4/5 — Works great, does what it says!

*2015-04-10, version 2.0*

So I have been a pilot for 25+years.  I am always re figuring out my medal e6b.  Well not anymore. This app is straight forward and easy to use plus it's got everything I need.    Thanks

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2015-03-13, version 2.0*

Can I have my $ back
