EasyCockpit vs Aviation SixPack

EasyCockpit is a comprehensive aviation navigation tool for mobile devices and has for many years aided pilots by improving their situational awareness when flying in Southern Africa. This GPS moving map software with detailed information will make your flying experience in this part of the African continent a safer one. The high-resolution clear vector map is offering an extensive airfields database including communication and navigation frequencies, runway information, fuel availability, cautionary notes, and sunrise/sunset times. Full airspace information, including special VFR routings and reporting points around congested areas, makes this GPS moving map a must for pilots flying in Southern Africa. Visit our website for details on how to obtain the full version. Comprehensive Mapping data Coverage: South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Swaziland, Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe Flight Planning by selecting waypoints/ abeam waypoints from database or map. Option to insert Airspace Intersection. Option to upload routes from EasyPlan. Layers can be switched on or off. Terrain display FlightLog displays distance to next waypoint, ground speed, desired track, ETE and ETA. Also displays current position in relation to recognized VFR points for accurate reporting. Direct-To function shows the 10 nearest airfields and 10 nearest navaids or other points. Move-To button lets you quickly find a point from the database to check details and view it on the map. HSI needle determines the distance off Track. The RMI needles allow you to choose one or two points to which the needles will point to provide a bearing. The OBI radial or Track-To can be selected to be displayed from any waypoint, navaid or airfield. E6B calculator allows for accurate and speedy calculation of density altitude, true airspeed, windspeed and direction. Airspace, obstacle and Terrain warnings. Fly in Track-Up or North-Up mode. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

This is the standard Aviation Sixpack of the six most widely used instruments in general aviation. No Ads, No In-App purchases and No data is gathered by the developer. In addition to the six gauges, the app also shows the ground wind speed, the city and state location you are flying over, and the current GPS co-ordinates. Tapping the top BRT button toggles bright and dark display. The Airspeed indicator uses calculations between GPS ground speed, wind speed and direction, and compass direction to determine the airspeed near ground level where takeoff and landing take place. Tapping the Airspeed indicator toggles between MPH, Knots and KPH. Tapping the compass toggles between True North and Magnetic North and uses GPS for greater accuracy irrelevant of phone position, but only works when in steady motion. Tapping on the Turn and Bank gauge toggles between Horizontal and Vertical mounting of the device, and also adjusts the compass for same. The city and state of your current location is displayed so you know what is directly below you. The wind speed shows current wind speed at ground level as reported by the weather service in that location. GPS co-ordinates display your current location. PLEASE NOTE: Airspeed readings are approximate, because your device uses wind speed as reported by the weather service in a nearby location, not where you actually might be. NOT MADE TO BE USED FOR AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION, but it can provide some emergency data in the event of an aircraft panel failure.
