E6B Pilot Flight Computer vs Vane

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.

Vane is a modern glass-cockpit E6B — the classic flight computer, reimagined for the way pilots fly today. Fourteen precise instruments in one fast, beautiful app that works entirely offline, from preflight planning to the cockpit. Every result is built on real aeronautical formulas and shows its work, so you can trust the number and understand it — ideal for student pilots training for the checkride and for working pilots who want the answer in one tap. — 14 PILOT INSTRUMENTS — • Wind Triangle — heading, ground speed and wind correction angle from wind and course • Crosswind — headwind and crosswind components for any runway • Weight & Balance — live CG and envelope check for every load • Nav Log — multi-leg cross-country planning with 48,000 airports built in • METAR & TAF — aviation weather decoded into plain language • Density & Pressure Altitude — your true performance conditions • True Airspeed & Mach — CAS, TAS and Mach from altitude and temperature • Fuel — burn, endurance, range and reserves • Performance — takeoff, landing, climb and glide distances • Heading — true, magnetic and compass with variation and deviation • Holding — entry, timing and hold planning • Top of Descent — when to start down for a smooth arrival • Altitude & Speed — pressure and density altitude at a glance • Conversions — every aviation unit: knots, nm, feet, °C, inHg, hPa and more — BUILT FOR THE COCKPIT — • 100% offline — every airport, formula and table lives on your device, no signal required • Show your work — open any result into clear, step-by-step math • Save calculations and reopen them anytime • 48,000 airports, runways and frequencies bundled in • Magnetic variation built in — no internet lookup — THREE COCKPITS — • Day, night and red night-vision themes to protect your eyes on late flights • Metric or imperial — your units, everywhere • A calm, high-contrast instrument panel designed to read at a glance Vane is made for student pilots, private pilots (PPL), commercial and airline pilots, CFIs and anyone flying VFR or IFR.
