FlyBy E6B is an essential application for all pilots. Designed by a professional airline pilot it includes many features not found in the "other" E6B programs. If you are considering a career in aviation FlyBy E6B has functions that you can use in every aircraft you will fly. FlyBy E6B was one of the very first applications of its kind published for the Palm Pilot. Used by thousands of pilots the world over, it has evolved from the suggestions and feedback we have received. Please visit our web site for more detail and screen shots.

About

Flight night time

This offline app helps pilots calculate their night flight time by inputting departure and arrival details. It uses complex algorithms for distance and sunrise/sunset calculations, with customizable night definitions. An integrated database can be expanded with user-added airports.

Highlights
  • Offline night flight time calculation
  • Departure and arrival time input
  • Orthogonal distance algorithm
  • Sunrise/sunset calculation
  • Customizable night definition
  • Airport database with user expansion

This offline application enables pilots to determine their night flight time. All you need to do is just to set the place and time of departure and arrival. The app uses algorithm to determine orthogonal distance and algorithm to determine sunrise or sunset. The definition of night can be modified in Settings according to user's national regulations. The Vincenty formula is used for calculation of distance. To calculate sunrise/sunset the Sunrise equation is used. The app contains the default database. The source of data for it is openflights.org database. If the airport you need is missing you can create it in user's database.
