E6BX E6B Flight Computer

E6BX

About this app

E6BX is an essential app for pilots of all experience levels, offering a wide range of aviation tools designed to help you get comfortable with the reports and calculations required to fly safely. Included in this app are a visual E6B Calculator, interactive Weather Reports with METAR and TAF decoders, a NavLog Calculator, and many other tools to assist you with aviation calculations.


E6B Calculator

This is the world’s most popular E6B aviation calculator, already used online by hundreds of thousands of pilots. The calculations are visually illustrated to aid in understanding, showing wind speed and direction, wind correction angle, course, heading, ground speed, and true air speed. E6B is also known as CR, CRP-5 or in German, as the Dreieckrechner.

E6B Simulator

E6B Simulator offers a manual E6B with step by step instructions and highlights. This brings the same functionality on the website to the app.

Weather Reports with the Most Comprehensive METAR / TAF Decoder

Search for any airport using the Weather Reports tool, and find the relevant METAR and TAF reports, taken live from aviationweather.gov. Need help understanding METAR or TAF? Tap on any segment to instantly see what it means, or tap the Decode button to reveal the entire report at once.

Weather Reports can also display airport data for US airports, including runway directions and lengths, heliports, radio frequencies, and charts.

NavLog Calculator

Use the NavLog Calculator for either VFR or IFR flight planning. Enter numbers into the table to perform instant calculations. You can add as many lines as you need, and the table can be easily cleared with a single button.

Holding Pattern Calculator

The Holding Pattern Calculator uses a detailed and informative graphic to help you determine your entry into a holding pattern, and then to maintain that pattern with wind corrections. Simply enter a few basic values to see them instantly reflected in the graphic, then follow the detailed entry and hold instructions.

Metar and Taf Decoder

With E6BX Metar Decoder, almost everything in any given Metar or Taf is decodable, including elevation, wind direction and speed, wind components, pressure altitude, density altitude, air pressure, dew point, and all sorts of weather conditions.

Snowtam & Motne Decoder

Paste any Snowtam or Motne report into this tool to decode it. Almost everything in any given Snowtam or Motne is decodable, including type, depth, location, and extent of contamination.

Aviation Unit Converter

This tool includes all units commonly used in aviation. When you enter a value, it will instantly be converted to all other units of the same type. Convert units of time, distance, speed, pressure, temperature, volume, weight, and mass. Our GPS Coordinate Converter can convert between Decimal Degrees (DD), Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM), and Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS).

Ratings and reviews

You cant save NavLogs, can't save weight and balance. Always has to be a fresh and time consuming input of data. Why wouldnt there be a "save" and "load" function? Perhaps just as disturbing is that there is no night function that inverts the bright white background to black. Open the app and "boom" there goes your night vision. Unsafe! I asked for a refund but was denied by the google store.

Seems very complete, much like the web version. Can't find a night mode. Can't find how to save values being used. I think that every screen should be able to save its data. In particular, an airport list would be great, so that I can quickly select from my local airports. Also, when putting in a calculation, and closing the app, you lose all that you entered. So if you get started on a flight and close the app, you need to start all over again. It's a huge app, so I might have missed some ways to do these things. Well laid out, with clear screens. For those getting started, the METAR and TAF features are great, You can hover or tap an entry, and see it decoded, a great way to learn. I think that fields, such as in the calculator, should have the field "selected", so that when we NEXT to it, what we type overwrites what is there. We can always choose to edit otherwise. I don't see a validation set for this app. I imagine that something like the ASA CX3 has gone through a formal approval process, and I wonder how reliable this is with its calculations.

Great app but is there any way on the E6B, "flight time, for distance and grounds speed" to display the flight time as minutes and seconds instead of what is currently, which is minuets and then percentage of a minute. I know I can just multiply the the decimal point by 60 to get the seconds but if there's a way to save some time then why not. Also on the "flight time for distance and ground speed" if there was a way to change the "flight time" to solve for distance that would be awesome!
