E6B Pro Pad

I am a student pilot who dislikes using handheld E6b calculators and instead loves the Gyronimo E6b Pro Pad app. It is quick, easy and intuitive and also allows you to visualize classical E6b flight computer calculations if you so choose. My favorite feature is the course plotter which instantly gives magnetic compass headings calculated using authentic isogonic magnetic variability. My only complaint is the city/airport location search bar, which in my ipad pro doesn’t seem to do anything at all. I’m hoping to update this through customer support. P.S. It would be a great addition if multiple winds aloft could be somehow entered to calculate optimal cruising altitude for best groundspeed.

This is one of those tools that is useful from Student to ATP, and from Ground School to Flight Level.

This is the most useful aviation app I’ve found, aside from my EFB and another great weight & balance app by this developer. It takes a very complex set of calculations, presents them in a way that makes sense, and makes the user interface touchscreen simple. I really like the conversions that are visible at all times in the calculator screen. The ability to use the old school whiz wheel is very cool, I wish I’d had that when I was a student!
