Free, easy-to-use, scaled-down electronic flight calculator for the iPad (9.7). This app is intended for pilots that fly under 18,000 feet and slower than 250 knots/mph. Performs many of the functions of the E6B. Great for the pilot on a budget looking for a quick way to compute the following: speed, time, and distance, groundspeed, descent rate, when to begin descent, fuel needed for VFR and IFR flight, true airspeed, heading and speed, and pressure and density altitude. Try it out!

Note: Do NOT use commas or letters in the fields.

Note: Altitudes must be in thousands of feet, not flight levels.

Note: There is a numbers-only keyboard you need to enable on your device. Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards, Add New Keyboard, and select E6B.
