About Sporty's E6B

3. Calculating weight and balance is especially easy, with a dedicated page for adding new passengers, fuel or baggage.

5. Sporty’s Pilot Shop, the world’s largest pilot shop, brings you the E6B Flight Computer - now for Android phones AND tablets!

Sporty's E6B Customer Insights

1. The sportys ppl course example gives an answer of pressure altitude 926 feet and density altitude 167 feet while the sportys app says the pressure is 927 feet and the density is 187 feet with the same exact exampleFor some problems, you have to "back in" to get the answer.

2. Example "find indicated air speed - Preasure altitude 8000', temperature -10°C, true airspeed 152kts.

3. The pressure and density altitude doesn't give the correct answers though.

4. Using the "True Airspeed" function, you have to trial-and-error the "Indicated" airspeed until the "True" airspeed is what you need.

5. It's really annoying to then have to click around to get back to what you were doing.A better alternative than using the analog E6B but it's buggy and built with not a lot of user friendly features.

6. For example, the calculator doesn't work.

7. This recommendation was sugggested several years ago and sadly, not acted on.Very similar to the habdheld version but easier to use.This app isn't great, save yourself and get the e6bX.

8. It asks you to install some random calculator from the app store but then still gives you an error when launching.

9. And there is no clear feature so if you want to start a whole new calculation you have to clear each field.So far most of it is good.

10. And some of the calculations are flat out incorrect.Only a fraction of the features of the iOS version.

11. Was easily solved with a mechanical E6B.Doesn't work.
