Holding Pattern Trainer vs FlightReady E6B

Save time and money on your instrument flight training by mastering IFR holding pattern entries at the comfort of your own mobile device. Make IFR flight training easier! Is the following scenario familiar? You receive a holding clearance from ATC, and only have a couple of minutes, sometimes only a few seconds, to choose the correct entry. By the time you've figured out what's going on, you've already passed the holding fix and don't know what to do next. If this sounds familiar, then you need not to worry. Confusion during holding entries happens to practically almost every new instrument student. Even instrument-rated pilots occasionally have the same problem — when they don't get enough practice. Holding Trainer solves this problem and as a result, cuts the time you have to spend on expensive flight and ground lessons. With Holding Trainer, you can practice on your own time and convenience, so that choosing the best holding entry in the air becomes a breeze. Features: -Entry Trainer - Drills you on choosing the best holding entry. Practice until choosing holding entries becomes second nature and impress your flight instructor with your skills. -Holding calculator. Solve and visualize any holding scenario by entering your current bearing to the fix and a outbound or inbound holding radial. -Holding tutorial - learn how to choose the best holding entry quickly and easily. Holding Trainer for iOS is a complete rewrite based on my popular Flash-based desktop Holding Trainer app available on pilotscafe.com. ***Don't get "stuck" next time you receive a holding pattern clearance!*** ---------------------------------- For only a fraction of the cost of one ground lesson with your flight instructor, you can practice this important instrument skill at your own pace and save hundreds of Dollars on figuring out holding entries in the air. This is a great tool for anyone training towards their instrument checkride, CFII, proficiency check, or simply trying to improve their holding patterns. ----------------------------------

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.
