FlyQ+ EFB is a top-rated aviation app because it makes your flying easier and safer by thoughtfully integrating powerful features in a way that minimizes the number of screen taps and uses larger fonts to increase readability. New features such as a glide ring, graphical weather briefing, ability to download two data cycles, and a navlog that expands/collapses airways/SIDs/STARs make flying safer and easier than ever before! The Global Digital Map shows airports, airways, airspace, navaids, and waypoints from all around the world. Text rotates so it's always right-side up and the level of detail adapts to the zoom level. Our exceptional "4D Predictive Weather" system uses a Timeline and Altitude Slider to help you analyze weather at different times - both past and future - and at different altitudes. 17 weather layers from both the Internet and ADS-B (e.g. Radar, Icing, Turbulence, PIREPs, Winds Aloft, Surface Winds, Surface Analysis, Satellite, and more), many tied to the Timeline and Altitude Slider, give you unprecedented pre-flight and in-flight safety. Supports more than 20 ADS-B and in-panel devices: Stratus 3, Avidyne, Dynon, Stratux, and more. The exclusive Augmented Reality (AR) feature provides situational awareness you'd previously only seen in sci-fi movies. The Slingshot wireless system means FlyQ+ supplies maps, plates, and apt diagrams wirelessly to certified systems from BendixKing. The Visual Logbook and Post Flight Playback / Analysis Graphs add a whole new dimension to your flying. Optionally connect with your friends to "see" and even replay their flights. CFI's can track student progress and remotely send endorsements. Other key features include split screen, 3D synthetic vision, plates on the map, more than 4,600 airport diagrams, rich Documents support, extended runways, distance measurement, fuel prices, NOTAMS, wind-optimized flight planning, and plates for Mexico and Central America. NEW! NaviGuard GPS anomaly detection guards against GPS spoofing and jamming > Maps Your Way + Digital, 2D maps, 3D Syn Vis, Augmented Reality + Sectionals and IFR charts + TACs + Photo, road, terrain maps + 17 Weather Layers + Flight Track + Fuel Prices + TFRs + Obstacle and Terrain Avoidance + ADS-B Traffic and Weather + Extended runways with right-pattern indicators + Procedures on map + Rings / Extended Course Line + CAP grid + Heli and Gulf of Mexico charts + VFR Flyways + Syn Vis includes HITS boxes, EFIS display, TAWS, Obstacles, and AHRS support.

FlyQ+ includes the same FAA DO-200B certified Seattle Avionics geo-referenced approach plates and apt diagrams that we supply to certified avionics from Honeywell and Aspen. Split screen can show a map and a procedure simultaneously. > Flight Planning that Saves Time and Money 1. Automatically uses recently cleared ATC routes 2. Automatically plans fuel stops based on lowest cost 3. Uses expected winds to plot the fastest course 4. CAP/SAR patterns 5. Exchange flight plans with Dynon SkyView, Avidyne, and Aspen 6. Practice with X-Plane or MS Flight Sim / Prepar3D > Weather Amazing "4D Predictive Weather" uses a Timeline and Altitude slider to make detailed pre-flight and in-flight analysis easy. The Graphical Wind Optimizer uses red and green bars to show the headwind or tailwind at different altitudes. Also includes an extensive gallery of weather images. > Airport Information The Airport screen concisely shows key operational info, sat images, and rwy diagrams on a single screen. Weather, approach procedures, A/FD, and FBO info are just a tap away.

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. Cancel any time before the trial ends - no charge. Subscription auto-renews for the same period at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
