## What is Vane?

Vane is a modern glass-cockpit E6B — the classic flight computer, reimagined for the way pilots fly today. Fourteen precise instruments in one fast, beautiful app that works entirely offline, from preflight planning to the cockpit.

Every result is built on real aeronautical formulas and shows its work, so you can trust the number and understand it — ideal for student pilots training for the checkride and for working pilots who want the answer in one tap.

— 14 PILOT INSTRUMENTS —
• Wind Triangle — heading, ground speed and wind correction angle from wind and course
• Crosswind — headwind and crosswind components for any runway
• Weight & Balance — live CG and envelope check for every load
• Nav Log — multi-leg cross-country planning with 48,000 airports built in
• METAR & TAF — aviation weather decoded into plain language
• Density & Pressure Altitude — your true performance conditions
• True Airspeed & Mach — CAS, TAS and Mach from altitude and temperature
• Fuel — burn, endurance, range and reserves
• Performance — takeoff, landing, climb and glide distances
• Heading — true, magnetic and compass with variation and deviation
• Holding — entry, timing and hold planning
• Top of Descent — when to start down for a smooth arrival
• Altitude & Speed — pressure and density altitude at a glance
• Conversions — every aviation unit: knots, nm, feet, °C, inHg, hPa and more

— BUILT FOR THE COCKPIT —
• 100% offline — every airport, formula and table lives on your device, no signal required
• Show your work — open any result into clear, step-by-step math
• Save calculations and reopen them anytime
• 48,000 airports, runways and frequencies bundled in
• Magnetic variation built in — no internet lookup

— THREE COCKPITS —
• Day, night and red night-vision themes to protect your eyes on late flights
• Metric or imperial — your units, everywhere
• A calm, high-contrast instrument panel designed to read at a glance

Vane is made for student pilots, private pilots (PPL), commercial and airline pilots, CFIs and anyone flying VFR or IFR. Replace your plastic E6B and a pocket full of apps with one instrument.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-01

Vane now works in the units you actually fly — thank you to the pilots who wrote in.

• Altimeter setting in hectopascals or inches of mercury
• Weight & balance arms in millimetres or inches, to match your POH
• Runway lengths and field elevation in metres or feet
• METAR visibility decoded as filed, so European reports read in metres
• New installs start in the units your region uses

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-30

Vane Pro now has a Lifetime option — pay once and keep every instrument forever, with no subscription. The monthly and annual plans are unchanged, and both still start with a free trial.

• Redesigned plan picker: every price reads as a lit instrument value, and what you are charged and when is stated plainly
• Fixed the sign-in link sent for feature requests, which now opens Vane directly
