iPhone E6B

Even though I’m not flying currently due to economic conditions, I may have to get this pilot gadget just for the sake of the cool interface the developers implemented. For the uninitiated ground-pounder, it’s a pilot’s flight calculator that takes the place of a unique and surprisingly fun to use, circular slide rule called an E6B.

The interface of this iPhone PFMA is modeled to have the same look and feel of a Flight Management System (FMS) that you might find in a commercial aircraft. When you consider that the metal version costs about $25.00, and a student grade cardboard E6B costs about $12.00, you can’t ask for a better bargain than $6.00. John Ewing over at Aviation Mentor gives it a very favorable recommendation and that’s enough for me.
