Just released is CoDeveloper’s new PilotE6B/WX iPhone app, which provides pilots with more than 50 common aviation calculations and unit conversions, as well as access to current weather data, in-place unit conversion, GPS-tied METAR and TAF access, and in-flight timers.
Features include:
- The pilot can specify units of measurement for all calculation parameters and results, eliminating common mistakes like confusing nautical miles for statute miles.
- Calculation results carry forward as input parameters to subsequent calculations, speeding the workflow.
- Fuel quantities and burn rates can be displayed in volume or mass units. The pilot can specify the specific-density of the fuel they’re using, for accurate conversions.
- Specialized keypads for numeric entry, time entry, fuel selection, and unit selection ease data entry.
- Calculations are categorized and listed with their required input parameters for easy selection.
- METAR and TAF reports may be pulled for the pilot’s current GPS location, eliminating the need to enter one or more ICAO station identifers.
The app, which is compatible with the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, is available now in the Apple AppStore for $6.99. For more information: Apps4Pilots.com
