Read full description

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.

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 β€’ Wind triangle (heading, ground speed, wind correction) β€’ True / calibrated / equivalent airspeed β€’ Density and pressure altitude β€’ Time / speed / distance β€’ Fuel burn, endurance, and range β€’ Standard atmosphere + lapse rate β€’ Compass + magnetic heading with deviation and variation β€’ Reciprocal headings, pivotal altitude, standard rate turns β€’ Off-course (1-in-60) corrections β€’ Climb / descent rates and ground distance β€’ Cloud base, glide distance, holding pattern entry β€’ Linear interpolation β€’ 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: β€’ VFR: 30-min day or 45-min night reserve, optional alternate β€’ 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 β€” VFR or IFR titled β€” 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 β€’ Works fully offline - no signal, no problem β€’ Optimized for iPhone and iPad with dark cockpit theme β€’ Adjustable font scale for kneeboard readability β€’ US or metric units, switch any time β€’ Save unlimited routes β€’ 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.
