Read full description

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, from preflight planning to the cockpit — and every calculator works offline. 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 — • Offline calculators — every airport, formula and table lives on your device; only live weather needs a connection • Show your work — open any result into clear, step-by-step math • Cold-temperature altitude corrections for IFR approaches, matching the AIM's ICAO table • 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. Fly prepared. Download Vane.
