Highly recommended for student pilots, instrument applicant and CFI's." - Improve your situational awareness under IFR. - Save time and money on your instrument and initial flight training. - Prepare for your instrument rating or proficiency check. - Test your NAV situational awareness with the test mode. - Flight instructors: the perfect tool to help you easily explain and demonstrate complex radio navigation concepts to your students. ***Features:*** -Dual navigation displays. -VOR\NDB trainer screen: Simulates VOR and NDB navigation using VOR, HSI, ADF and RMI displays. -ILS trainer with both VOR and HSI displays. -DME visualization screen - demonstrates how DME slant range distance is affected by ground distance and altitude. -Test mode - generates phantom aircraft around the navaids. Your goal is to find the correct aircraft position. -Drag and drop the aircraft and nav fix around the screen. -Fly! mode - Make the airplane fly around the screen. great for practicing intercepting and tracking courses. -Wind direction & velocity control. -Aircraft tracing (contrail mode). -Accelerator support for aircraft control. How to use: -Select the various instruments by double-tapping their dials. -Toggle VOR sectors visualization on/off. -Auto tune OBS by pressing the OBS knob. -Auto turn the aircraft towards the nav fix by tapping the aircraft symbol. Double tap will turn the aircraft toward NAV station #2 -Change aircraft headings by flicking your finger over the heading indicator. -Tune the OBS by dragging your finger around the HSI/VOR displays or over the OBS knob. --------------------------------------- The developer is a Gold Seal CFI/CFII/MEI and part 121 airline pilot --------------------------------------- For comments, feature requests or bug reports, if you have the app, please take the survey at http://bit.ly/hCAqgF * (https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2013/february/26/five-more-aviation-apps-you-cant-live-without) **If you experience any problem with the app, please contact me before leaving a review and I will do my best to solve it for you.**

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.
