E6B Pathfinder provides essential and useful flight computations and calculations for flight operations, planning and navigation. The functions combine those of a classical E6B/CX-2/CX-3 flight computer and more. The simple material design makes it easy to navigate through the application to find what you need. The application has two sections. The main section functions include: ALTITUDE-> -Pressure Altitude -Density Altitude -True Altitude -Jet Standard Atmosphere - Cloud Base AIRSPEED-> -Plan TAS -Actual TAS -Required CAS -Plan Mach# -Actual Mach# FUEL-> -Fuel Burn -Fuel Rate -Endurance -(PRO) Fuel Converter PLAN LEG-> -Heading & Ground Speed -Heading & TAS -Track & Ground Speed -Compass Heading -Leg Time -ETA -To/From ACTUAL LEG-> -Distance Flown -Ground Speed -Wind Speed & Direction -Headwind & Crosswind Components -(PRO) Point of Equal Time -(PRO) Point of Equal Time (Expanded) -(PRO) Point of No Return -(PRO) Point of No Return (Expanded) -(PRO) Critical Point -(PRO) Critical Point (Expanded) GLIDING & VNAV-> -Glide Distance -Height Loss -Glide Ratio -(PRO) Rate of Climb/Descent -(PRO) Rate of Climb/Descent (using Gradient) -(PRO) Climb Ratio -(PRO) Climb Ratio (using Gradient) -(PRO) Top of Climb -(PRO) Top of Descent MISC.-> -(PRO) Load Factor -(PRO) Rate Turn - Bank Angle -(PRO) Rate of Turn -(PRO) Great Circle/Rhumb Line Distance The Extras section functions include: -(PRO) Calculator -(PRO) Units Converter -Stop Watch -Countdown Timer Other Features: -(PRO) Light & Dark Theme -(PRO) Quick List -Ability to change units -Ability to change calculation accuracy For feedback, additions or error reports, feel free to send them over to the developer using the email given.
