Aviation GPS vs EF1 E6B Flight Computer

Aviation GPS turns your iPhone into a professional-grade navigation instrument for pilots, flight training, and aviation enthusiasts — real-time bearing, distance, course deviation, and a full moving map with worldwide airport, navaid, and airspace data. Modeled on the panel-mount GPS navigators pilots already know, it pairs a clean FMC-style data display with a genuine moving map: pan, zoom, and declutter it like the unit in the panel, with HSI/CDI guidance, multi-waypoint flight planning, and a Visual Approach mode giving a 3° glidepath reference where there's no ILS. KEY FEATURES: • Moving map with 23-step zoom range, pan, continuous pinch-zoom, and multiple declutter levels • Optional traffic display with threat colors, relative altitude, and smooth target motion between reports (advisory only; needs internet) • Own-ship breadcrumb trail of your recent ground track • Worldwide airspace boundaries (Class B/C/D, Restricted/Danger/Prohibited, Military/MOA, and more) — tap any boundary for its name, class, and floor/ceiling • Airspace proximity alarms that flag boundaries before you enter them • To-scale runway rendering at close-in ranges, including parallel runways, colored by surface type • Visual Approach mode: lateral and vertical glidepath guidance to any runway, no ILS required • OBS mode: key in any course on the keypad, or dial it by dragging • HSI/CDI course deviation indicator with auto-scaling sensitivity • Real-time navigation to 55,000+ airports and 10,000+ navaids (VOR, NDB, TACAN, DME) worldwide • METAR and TAF for airports on the waypoint page with flight category (needs internet) • Flight log: record your track in the background and share it as CSV or GPX • Barometric altitude and vertical speed, blended with GPS for drift-free readings that respond instantly • Selectable GPS track smoothing (OFF/LOW/MED/HIGH) for a settled position, ground track, and groundspeed — from light aircraft to jet speeds • Nearest (NRST) search for airports, navaids, and user waypoints • 6-panel data display with selectable fields and a customizable button bar • Compass modes: Track, Heading, or Auto-switching, plus RMI and HSI styles • Destination info with runway diagrams, elevations, and radio frequencies • Magnetic variation from the official World Magnetic Model (WMM2025), accurate worldwide • Background layers: coastlines, rivers, roads, and cities, independently configurable • AutoZoom tightens map range automatically on approach to your destination • Optional downloadable database updates — no custom server, and the database still works fully offline • X-Plane simulator integration via XGPS, plus a demo/playback mode with a hand-flown, KAP 140-style simulated autopilot FLIGHT PLANNING: • Build routes with unlimited waypoints — airports, navaids, or custom coordinates • Save flight plans by name and load them again whenever you fly the route • Automatic waypoint sequencing as you pass each fix, with turn-anticipation arcs • Per-leg and total distance and ETE, with cumulative distance per waypoint • DIRECT TO any waypoint at any time, with automatic return to the active plan • Coordinate waypoints with custom names for off-airway fixes, saved and reusable • Activate, suspend, reverse, or clear your plan at any time PROFESSIONAL FEATURES: • Great-circle bearing and distance, with true-to-magnetic conversion • ETA with timezone detection and local time display • Vertical glidepath deviation gauge for Visual Approach mode • GPS coordinate display in DEG, D M, or DMS format • Aviation-standard color coding and a professional aviation typeface Includes a full worldwide aviation database on-device — no internet connection required for navigation, with optional data updates when you want them. Only traffic, airport weather, and the map's wind indicator use a live connection.

EF1 E6B is a complete electronic flight computer built for student pilots, CFIs, and certificated pilots who want a fast, offline, modern E6B without the bloat. EVERYTHING AN E6B DOES - FASTER • Wind triangle (heading, ground speed, wind correction) • True / calibrated / equivalent airspeed • Density and pressure altitude • Time / speed / distance • Fuel burn, endurance, and range • Standard atmosphere + lapse rate • Compass + magnetic heading with deviation and variation • Reciprocal headings, pivotal altitude, standard rate turns • Off-course (1-in-60) corrections • Climb / descent rates and ground distance • Cloud base, glide distance, holding pattern entry • Linear interpolation • Universal converter (length, mass, volume, speed, temp, pressure) CROSS-COUNTRY PLANNING Build a full multi-leg route with up to 20 checkpoints. Set true course, distance, wind, TAS, fuel rate, MSA, and frequencies for each leg. Drag to reorder, duplicate, or reverse the route in one tap. Choose VFR or IFR mode and the app applies the correct FAR fuel rules: • VFR: 30-min day or 45-min night reserve, optional alternate • IFR: 45-min reserve, alternate-required toggle, alternate fuel auto-computed from distance to alternate Trip totals show ETE, ETA, fuel legality (LEGAL or NOT LEGAL with margin), and per-leg fuel remaining. PRINTABLE NAV LOG Generate a clean PDF nav log — VFR or IFR titled — with every checkpoint, fuel breakdown, frequencies card, and a side panel showing usable fuel, taxi, climb, enroute, alternate, and reserve. Email, print, or save it. FLY THE CROSS-COUNTRY Tap START FLIGHT, then mark off each checkpoint as you pass it. The app records actual time enroute, actual ground speed, and ATA, then writes them back into your post-flight log automatically. WEIGHT & BALANCE Build aircraft profiles, enter station moments, and check CG against the envelope. DESIGNED FOR PILOTS • Works fully offline - no signal, no problem • Optimized for iPhone and iPad with dark cockpit theme • Adjustable font scale for kneeboard readability • US or metric units, switch any time • Save unlimited routes • Backup and restore your data SUBSCRIPTION The EF1 E6B unlocks all features with a 7-day free trial, then $3.99/month or $19.99/year.
