FlightReady E6B vs Stratus Horizon Pro

FlightReady E6B is a modern flight computer with the most complete set of aviation functions, conversions, and utilities for planning and flying. WHY PILOTS USE FLIGHTREADY E6B • Accurate. Conversions use exact defined factors, and airspeed and altitude calculations use the full U.S. Standard Atmosphere, maintaining accurate calculations above 36,000 feet. • Explained. Every function and conversion has built-in help that describes what it calculates, how to use it, and the formulas and conventions behind it. • Fast. Star the functions you use most to keep them at the top of the main menu, and your favorites sync to your other devices through iCloud. Open functions from Search, Shortcuts, Control Center, the Lock Screen, or the Action button. • Easy to use. Change a field's unit from the menu beside it, and every related field on the screen follows. Results automatically carry over to related functions, reducing repeated data entry. • Night-flight friendly. Dark mode uses a red-shifted amber color scheme designed for use in a dark cockpit.

Backup Glass Cockpit on your iPad Stratus Horizon Pro displays a complete Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) for supplemental attitude information in your cockpit. Driven by a Stratus receiver, the AHRS feature will display a super responsive pitch and bank instrument on your iPad. It aligns itself automatically, so you can just turn it on and fly. This provides an excellent backup for emergency situations. Radio Transcription & Playback Plug in and play back. You’ll never have to say “say again” again when you use the radio playback feature. Plug in a Stratus Audio Cable to capture ATC communications for easy one-touch playback. Similar to how visual voicemail works, the ATC communications will be converted into text, providing a visual assist for referencing previous audio clips for playback. This enables pilots to receive a clearance, ATIS, or other important ATC communications without needing to write them down Stratus Audio Cable The Stratus Audio Cable (available to purchase for $49.99 from the Appareo web store) is needed to enable the radio transcription and playback feature. No cellular service or internet connection is required to operate the app. Stratus Device Management Download firmware updates for all models of Stratus portable ADS-B receivers, Stratus 1, 2, 1S, 2S, 2i, 3, 3i, and 4. Switch your Stratus 3 to "Open ADS-B Mode" to utilize its GDL-90 protocol that integrates Stratus with most flight apps. Stratus 4 defaults to GDL-90 mode. Enable notifications to get updates any time there is a firmware update to your portable device. Stratus Horizon Pro is a flight app that can be viewed in day mode, night mode, or via heads-up display. App Multitasking Stratus Horizon Pro supports app multitasking with split view and overlay view, so you can use radio transcription and playback alongside your favorite EFB. The EFB app must be able to support multitasking.
