Developer: Rent-a-Pilot.nl
First release : 20 Jul 2011
App size: 16.99 Mb
This is a real moving 100% functional digital version of the classic flight computer.
On top of that, this a training app, designed to help you master the flight computer by solving it over and over again until you get it right.
Improve your flight computer skills!
An E6B flight computer is the circular slide rule calculator on the opposite side of your wind computer.
There are already many E6B apps out there and they all allow you to convert everything.
This app is very different.
It can solve conversions like many others but it is also a teaching tool:
* It replaces that list of practise questions in your study book.
How?
It generates those questions for you and then points out on the E6B how to solve them!
* Moves like a real E6B flight computer
* Generates practice questions for all those tricky conversions like CAS-TAS, MACH-TAS and True Altitude
* Show you how exactly to solve a conversion on the E6B itself!
You can choose the type of question
Are you training for your PPL, CPL, ATPL exam?
Experience learns that most candidates run out of time if they are not quick enough with the Flight Computer.
* This app will help you master your flight computer and develop those mad E6B skills.
* Use it to generate practise questions for yourself or your students
The wind side will follow in future updates
Latest reviews of The Flight Computer Teacher app for iPhone and iPad
On the iphone5 I cannot move the zoomed dial--it always floats in one direction no matter which arrow I press. Why not just make the zoomed image be dragged by two fingers? If you fix this I will rewrite my review! Thanks!
It opens a black screen. I see nothing, I do nothing! Waste of time and money.
I bought the Pro version (for my iPod touch 5G with iOS 8.1) wanting to have an E6B for practicing when I am on the boat. I opened the app and I only had a black screen. I closed it, cycled the power on my iPod touch 5G and restarted it again, no luck ! I went to the App Store to find some help and all I got is a link for a Twitter page with no email contact and no support at all ! I dont have a Twitter account and will never have ! I wish I could be able to get a refund for that... Its a total waste of money.
Pretty bad.
I got this thinking it would be a good training tool for my students when teaching them the E6B. All this thing does is give you a random airspeed problem to figure out. cas > tas, tas > Mach, Mach > tas. No wind problems, groundspeed, fuel burn, eta, density altitude, or anything else for that matter. No wonder it was only a buck.
