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.

About

FlightFigures

Read full description

Quickly and accurately calculate your airplane's weight & balance and performance based on real-world conditions and flight manual data. - Multi-Aircraft Support: FlightFigures supports a wide range of airplane models, including their specific variants and configuration - Visualize and validate your airplane's loading in real time with interactive center of gravity (CG) graphs. FlightFigures provides instant feedback on CG location and limits to ensure safe loading conditions. - Accurately calculate your airplane's take-off, cruise, and landing performance in seconds. FlightFigures uses data compiled directly from the airplane's flight manual, combined with real-time conditions such as METAR and TAF weather data, pressure altitude, temperature, and runway surface and condition. - Verify compliance with regulatory frameworks such as EASA, FAA and UK-CAA - Access real-time aviation weather instantly with integrated METAR and TAF retrieval, designed specifically for operational flight planning. The app combines raw weather data with intelligent operational analysis to provide advanced pilot-focused and operational insights such as fog risk, runway contamination, reduced braking action, freezing conditions, airframe icing potential, carburettor icing risk, humidity trends, pressure system awareness, and many more. FlightFigures is designed by pilots, for pilots, with a deep understanding of the practical and operational needs in aviation. You can help us to expand our airplane model database. We invite experienced users โ€“ including private pilots, instructors, and aviation enthusiasts โ€“ to help grow our performance database.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FlightFigures at none against E6B Pathfinder's shown. FlightFigures also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. E6B Pathfinder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.29 per 7 days and FlightFigures sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

E6B Pathfinder ships an update every 10 months, FlightFigures every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
