PilotE6B / WX is the premier aviation calculator app for pilots, including students, instructors, enthusiasts, and professionals. With over 50 functions and conversions, we designed PilotE6B / WX to be powerful, accurate, and easy to use – just like our popular PilotFAR / AIM and PilotPrep apps. Reduce flight-bag clutter and fly with us!
PilotE6B stands apart from other aviation calculators in both capability and design. Here are a few examples:
✈All calculations allow you to specify the units of measurement used for each input parameter, and for each result. Never be confused about what unit a result is in.
✈Real-time unit conversions allow you to change input and result units on the fly.
✈Results from calculations are automatically carried forward as inputs for subsequent calculations.
✈Specify fuel quantity or fuel burn rate in volume or mass units. Configure the specific-density for your fuel for accurate conversions.
✈Specialized keypads for numeric entry, time entry, fuel selection, and unit selection.
✈Quickly identify the calculation you need by its category, name and input parameters, shown in the calculation index.
✈Thoughtfully designed user interface. Customize with different color schemes to your personal preferences.
Weather features:
✈Retrieve NOAA METAR and TAF reports for any ICAO-identified station.
✈Use your iPhone GPS to automatically retrieve METARs and TAFs within a 50 mile radius of your current location.
✈Access your frequently-queried METARs and TAFs quickly without re-typing.
Timer and clock functions:
✈Two separate countdown/count-up timers with large readout. Timer continues to operate when the app is exited and resumed. (Countdown alert will not signal when app is closed.)
✈Time display in local 12 and 24-hour display, 24-hour UTC display.
