Vane vs E6B Flight Computer + W&B

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, from preflight planning to the cockpit — and every calculator works offline. 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 — • Offline calculators — every airport, formula and table lives on your device; only live weather needs a connection • Show your work — open any result into clear, step-by-step math • Cold-temperature altitude corrections for IFR approaches, matching the AIM's ICAO table • 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. Replace your plastic E6B and a pocket full of apps with one instrument. Fly prepared. Download Vane.

An E6B flight computer and a complete Weight & Balance, in one app — the two tools a pilot actually reaches for before every flight, without a subscription. Built from the reviews of every other E6B on the store: the calculations they got wrong, the units they wouldn't accept, and the features that got taken away. Free - Time / Speed / Distance - Fuel required, flow, and endurance - Unit converter - distance, speed, pressure, temperature, fuel weight Pro - one purchase, forever - Weight & Balance - add and rename your own stations, save profiles for every aircraft you fly, CG envelope graph, takeoff and landing (after fuel burn) plotted together, %MAC, lb-in or kg-m - Pressure, density, and true (cold-corrected) altitude - CAS to TAS, EAS, Mach and speed of sound - Wind triangle, unknown wind, crosswind and headwind (with gust), true to magnetic to compass heading, off-course correction - Top of descent, required descent and climb rate, glide distance - Holding entry with wind correction, rate and radius of turn - Performance-table interpolation - Cloud base and freezing level - Export your W&B sheet to PDF What sets it apart - Weight & Balance done in full - not removed in an update, not sold as a separate app - Decimals and negative numbers everywhere - 62.07, 30.02, -13, all accepted, on a keypad built for the app so the system keyboard never gets in the way - Real international units - inHg, hPa, mb, mmHg, kg, lb, litres, US and Imperial gallons, metres, feet, degrees C, degrees F, K - shown right next to every value - Your last inputs carry over between calculators, so pressure altitude flows into density altitude flows into TAS - Tap "How was this calculated?" on any result to see the formula and its source - Works 100% offline - in the run-up area, the ramp, or with no signal - Dark mode for night flying, adjustable text size, screen stays awake One-time purchase The free calculators are fully working - never crippled to push the upgrade. One purchase unlocks everything else. No subscription. No ads. No features taken away later. Calculations use the ICAO standard atmosphere and established aviation formulas, and are verified against published handbook examples. This app is a training and planning aid. Use your POH/AFM and official sources for flight decisions.
