Pilot's Altimeter vs E6B Flight Computer

Introducing Pilot's Altimeter: The best app for aviators seeking an altimeter that works just like in a real aircraft; harnessing the power of your Apple Watch's barometer and classic dial display to give you an authentic experience. Whether you are a novice pilot or a seasoned pro, make Pilot's Altimeter your go-to training tool or wrist companion. Student pilots can gain a deeper understanding of traditional pressure altimeters before taking flight. To Use: Set the current pressure setting at your location in the Kollsman Window using the digital crown. This can be found by looking up the METAR at your closest airport or if you know your current elevation you can set that altitude on the dial. As a last resort you can get your GPS altitude from your phone or watch and set this on the dial. Once the altimeter is set to the local pressure, the dial will update to display your current altitude as it changes. Changes in weather throughout the day or traveling a large distance will change the local pressure so be sure to update the setting frequently to get the most accurate results. Updates to the barometer data can be delayed in certain conditions. Pilot's Altimeter has implemented an escalating warning system to notify you of stale barometer readings: - Yellow BARO Warning: The barometer data is older than 5 seconds. - Orange BARO Warning: The barometer data is older than 15 seconds. - Red BARO Warning: The barometer data is older than 30 seconds. - Red Flashing BARO Warning: The barometer data is older than 60 seconds. - Anytime the barometer data is more than 15 seconds, the seconds will be shown in the upper right. Accuracy Disclaimer: The barometers in your Apple Watch are highly accurate but are not calibrated to the standards of the altimeters found in real aircraft. Additionally, due to how the Apple Watch provides this data to applications there can be a delay between readings. Lastly, being an electronic device with very small sensors there are more failure modes than analog altimeters. Pilot's Altimeter makes every effort to make it clear to the user how reliable the data being displayed is, however it is no substitute for real instruments and should not be used as a primary or even secondary flight device.

The flight computer and the weather decoder in one app, paid for once. Foxtro is the E6B every student and private pilot does on the ramp and at the kitchen table, without the slide rule and without a subscription. Type in what you know and read what you need, offline, on iPhone and iPad. LIVE METAR AND TAF, DECODED • Search any airport in the world by ICAO, IATA or name, even without a connection • VFR, MVFR, IFR and LIFR at a glance, with wind, visibility, ceiling, temperature, altimeter and density altitude on one card • Every group of the raw report translated to plain English • The TAF on a timeline: each period in its own category colour, with a line where now is • Paste any raw METAR or TAF from anywhere and decode it offline • Favourite airports, cached for the ramp RUNWAY WINDS • The headwind and crosswind on every runway, worked out from the live report against each runway's true heading • The favoured runway, the gust and the worst case across a variable wind • The wind in magnetic too, the way the tower reads it PERSONAL MINIMUMS Set your own ceiling, visibility, wind and crosswind limits, or the ones in your solo endorsement, and every airport is checked against them: within or outside, and exactly why. E6B FLIGHT COMPUTER • The wind triangle: heading, ground speed and wind correction angle from course, TAS and the winds aloft, drawn as you type • Find the wind from what you actually flew • True airspeed from calibrated airspeed, pressure altitude and temperature • Pressure altitude and density altitude • Time, speed and distance, any one from the other two • Fuel burn, endurance and range • Runway headwind and crosswind components • Estimated cloud base from temperature and dew point • Conversions: knots, mph and km/h; nautical and statute miles; feet and metres; gallons, litres and pounds; inHg and hPa; °C and °F WEIGHT AND BALANCE Set up your aircraft from its own POH once — empty weight and arm, seats, baggage, fuel and the CG envelope — then load it for each flight and see the takeoff and landing points on the envelope. NIGHT AND DAY A dark cockpit look for before dawn and after dusk, and a Day mode that stays readable in full sun. PAY ONCE The calculators, the decoder and the runway winds are free. One purchase unlocks weight and balance, personal minimums, the TAF timeline and unlimited favourite airports with offline caching. No subscription, no ads, no account. Weather comes from the US National Weather Service's Aviation Weather Center; runway data from OurAirports.
