Flight Computer by PFSmarter: The Ultimate Aviation Toolkit From Student Cadets to Captains, Dispatchers, and Technicians—The Only Tool You Need. Flight Computer is not just a calculator; it is a comprehensive mission-support system designed to replace the traditional E6B and scattered utility apps. Whether you are a cadet mastering navigation principles, a line pilot needing quick operational data, or a dispatcher planning complex loads, Flight Computer delivers aerospace-grade accuracy at your fingertips. WHY FLIGHT COMPUTER ? For Pilots: Eliminate manual errors in pre-flight planning and in-flight re-calculations. For Dispatchers: Verify fuel loads, runway conditions, and operational limits instantly. For Technicians: Access critical conversion tools and fuel density parameters on the go. For Students: Visualize and understand complex aviation formulas with a clean, intuitive interface. INCLUDED MODULES & FEATURES WINTER OPERATIONS & SAFETY (NEW) SNOWTAM / GRF Decoder: Instantly translate complex runway condition codes into clear, actionable data (RVR, contaminant depth, braking action). Cold Weather Altitude Correction: Ensure safe vertical separation by calculating temperature correction factors for approaches in sub-zero conditions. Hydroplaning Speed: Determine critical dynamic tire speeds for wet runways based on tire pressure. ICAO DRILL Codes: Immediate access to Dangerous Goods emergency response procedures—vital for safety briefings. Hypoxia & TUC Reference: Essential physiological tables for Time of Useful Consciousness and hypoxia symptoms. NAVIGATION & WIND SOLUTIONS Heading / Track / WCA: Solve the wind triangle instantly. Get True Heading (TH) and Ground Speed (GS) to maintain your desired course. In-Flight Wind: Determine actual wind speed and direction aloft by inputting your current flight parameters. Distance & Track Calculator: Calculate Great Circle distance and initial/return headings between any two global coordinates. Crosswind Calculator: Visualize Headwind and Crosswind components with customizable limits for safe takeoff and landing. PERFORMANCE & SPEED TAS / Mach / Sound Speed: Master high-altitude performance. Calculate True Airspeed, Mach Number, and Local Speed of Sound (LSS) with precision. Density & Pressure Altitude: The key to performance planning. Accurately determine PA and DA based on field elevation and temperature. GS to IAS/TAS Conversion: Convert Ground Speed back to Indicated or True Airspeed for accurate timing and logbook entries. FUEL & EFFICIENCY (NEW) JET A-1 Volume to Weight: Essential for dispatchers and pilots. Convert fuel volume to weight (Liters to KG/LBS) accounting for real-time fuel density and temperature. Unit Converter Pro: The ultimate "Swiss Army Knife" for aviation. Convert Mass, Distance, Pressure, Speed, and Temperature between Metric and Imperial standards effortlessly. GRADIENTS & PROFILES (NEW) Runway & Approach Gradients: Calculate required climb gradients (ft/nm, %) for instrument departures and missed approach procedures to ensure obstacle clearance. Convert between percentages, degrees, and ft/nm to ensure compliance with ICAO/FAA chart requirements and safe obstacle clearance. DME / Altitude Check: Verify your vertical profile. Determine the exact height or descent rate required at specific DME distances. TIME & SCHEDULING Sunrise / Sunset (UTC): Get precise Civil Dawn, Dusk, and Solar timings for any location to determine legal night flight periods. Flight Time & Crew Rest: Manage your logbook and duty periods. Calculate total flight times and generate FDP-compliant crew rest schedules instantly. KEY BENEFITS Unrivaled Accuracy: Built on ICAO/FAA standard atmosphere formulas. All-in-One Workflow: No internet connection required for calculations. Access 20+ powerful tools from a single menu. Download Flight Computer today and experience the new standard in digital flight planning.

Catch a bad crosswind or leg-time assumption before engine start. E6B Pilot Flight Computer helps student pilots, CFIs, and other manual-planning pilots turn runway wind checks, wind previews, and nav-log cards into a faster preflight and teaching workflow without opening a full EFB. Use the free core to: - check runway crosswind plus headwind or tailwind components from manual wind and runway inputs - check density altitude from pressure altitude and outside air temperature before opening aircraft performance tables - preview wind correction angle, heading, and groundspeed from true course, true airspeed, wind-from direction, and wind speed - keep the workflow fully offline with no account, ads, or live EFB scope Unlock Nav-Log Cards to: - turn a wind leg into a full nav-log card with heading, groundspeed, leg time, and fuel required before reserves - save, pin, and reload local training or preflight cards on iPhone or iPad - share a plain-language training summary for debrief, lesson handoff, or planning notes - unlock the full student-pilot and CFI drill-card library for repeat runway, wind, and leg-time practice Why pilots keep it: - catch a runway-component or leg-time mistake before engine start - practice manual E6B thinking without rebuilding the same math in notes, spreadsheets, or browser calculators - hand off a clean training or debrief card instead of rewriting numbers - stay focused on one review-safe manual planning job instead of a broad aviation suite Important: Results are planning and training references only. Always verify runway choice, performance, fuel reserves, and operational decisions with your POH or AFM, current conditions, and pilot judgment. This app is not FAA-approved avionics and does not provide navigation, live weather, charts, flight-plan filing, or aircraft integration.
