FlightReady E6B is a modern flight computer with the most complete set of aviation functions, conversions, and utilities for planning and flying. WHY PILOTS USE FLIGHTREADY E6B • Accurate. Conversions use exact defined factors, and airspeed and altitude calculations use the full U.S. Standard Atmosphere, maintaining accurate calculations above 36,000 feet. • Explained. Every function and conversion has built-in help that describes what it calculates, how to use it, and the formulas and conventions behind it. • Fast. Star the functions you use most to keep them at the top of the main menu, and your favorites sync to your other devices through iCloud. Open functions from Search, Shortcuts, Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action button. • Easy to use. Change a field's unit from the menu beside it, and every related field on the screen follows. Results automatically carry over to related functions, reducing repeated data entry. • Night-flight friendly. Dark mode uses a red-shifted amber color scheme designed for use in a dark cockpit.
