FlyBy E6B App Reviews

I highly recommend this app for any professional pilot or aviation department. Its very easy to and does a lot! I use it all the time to calculate fuel uplift, logbook times, cold weather altitude corrections, etc.

Ive used this app for years, since it was on PalmOS - who remembers those times?! This app is always improving. Its worth your time and money.

I love this app. Very helpful to a pilot. Thank you.

This is such a great app and keeps getting better. The functionality is top notch and easy to use.

This is my second review of this app and I feel even stronger about it then when I first purchased it in 2011. FlyBy E6B is simply the best aviation app on my iPhone and iPad. Even with all the technology available to me as an airline pilot I still turn to it on a daily basis calculate descents, temperature corrections, male and female breakdown calculations, various conversions, wind components, runway friction numbers, fuel times for holds and I even use it to add up the log book at the end of the day. It is deceptively simple and easy to use. With the ability to save my most used calculations and features to the favorites page there is no need to hunt for the features that I use most because it is all on one app and in one place. In my experience the developer is very open to new ideas. I have made a couple of requests over the years and have found them added to later updates so it has consistently gotten even better over time. This app is well done and immensely useful. I recommend it to any pilot, regardless of whether they are a recreational or a professional pilot.

This is the last E6B app you will ever need. I recently downloaded this app and I am very impressed with its functions. It has all of the tools and calculations you could use for any pilot. The layout is very user friendly. This is a must have app for any professional pilot. Great for iPhone or iPad !!!

Excellent program! I found FlyBy E6B to be the easiest and the most intuitive electronic E6B that I have ever used. The numbers and letters are large and easy to read in low light conditions as well as the information being presented in a logical order. The moving map on the gps really is the icing on the cake. A must have for any pilot.

Ive been using this product for many years...Its excellent!

This is the Most intuitive, easiest to use E6B program that I have ever used. The information is presented in a logical and easy to use manner. The fact that I can put all my most used functions in one place, just makes the icing on the cake.

METAR and TAF is no longer available? What gives? Without the weather feature, this app is little more than an electronic E6B.

I got my general pilots license in the 90s thanks to FlyBy E6B... as a student, what a nightmare it was to do calculations with the old aluminum E6B computer; capable but primitive. I used to think, "Nasa put men on the moon using slide rules, so I can solve these problems " Then as a miracle I discovered FLyBys E6B for my palm pilot and how easy and fun it was to do calculations and -as a multinational guy that I am- for everyday use converting temperature and distances. I liked it so much that I got the desktop version and used it all the time. As technology progresses, I was very happy to find that FlyBy E6B was available as an App for the iphone. Their customer service is fantastic, Lonnie always responds emails promptly trough out the years. (Unlike Jeppesen, where I bought two aviation calculators, and both after the battery died couldnt be brought up to life again with a fresh battery, and Jeppesen didnt stand behind their product saying that there was a problem with the calculators and they didnt support them any longer.) I recommend highly FlyBy E6B and it will always have good memories and a soft spot in my heart...

I needed a quick way to convert % gradient to Feet/nm and the developers were quick to respond and deliver. The interface is straight forward and intuitive. I also use this to quickly convert lbs to gal or liters. Overall just an easy to use great app for pilots.

Its not a good interface like the one screen does all its complex with back and forth screen action but it has vertical nav functions a 3 star rateing because its not a simple clean program

I have used a few E6 Bs in my time, but I must say that the FlyBy E6 B ring all the bells for me. It is straight forward, easy to use and very intuitive. Im am a recent convert from the Windows world and I must say Lonnies update to the IPhone is wonderful. He has added several features that really make FlyBy outshine its competitors. Besides all the normal conversion one would expect from an E6B, Lonnie has added some special features that make getting weather data in METAR and TAF a snap with his Decode WX button. If you find your TAF and METAR reading skills are a little rusty, just hit the Decode button and you are off and running in english. Way Cool!! I especially like the input wheels when doing my conversions, and the small ( i ) icon is great for a reminder concerning input data. The Track and Distance feature is especially nice for quick information concerning a route. Overall Im very happy for to have the FlyBy E6B in my flying toolbox, its used a lot. I highly recommend this app to all pilots, a 5 star rating. Happy landings, One Happy FlyBy E6B customer.

I have used SkyWriter E6B first on my old Palm Pilot PDA many years ago. When the Windows CE phones came out I installed the Windows version of the software and used it until I got the iPhone. When the iPhone App came out I bought it right away and as a corporate pilot, I use it regularly. It does all the airspeed calculations, wind, heading and groundspeed, Vnav, lots of conversions and Nav calculations. Great support and always a willingness to improve the App. Example; A couple of weeks ago, when a group of fellow pilots were discussing circling approaches, I emailed to Lonnie and asked him to add a screen where TAS and bank angle could be input and yield radius of turn and time for a 180 degree turn. I sent the email 2/3, he responded the next day and had it worked out, and on 2/10 got notification that it was available for download. It is perfect for my needs and great support.

The E6B app is great, performs well and does exactly what an E6B should do. I felt there were a couple of important functions which no other E6B app would do but yet were needed and use often by pilots and flight students. Among these was the ability to provide interpolated answers from airplane performance data. I suggested to Skywriter Software and within days, it was there. That is customer service!

I use this program on my iPad and works great, but would like it designed for the iPad in a landscape profile.

Very capable app, esp. weather functions, but would it be too much trouble to add weight & balance calculations?

The bank stall speed calculations of this calculator are incorrect. A glider with a stall speed of 40 mph circling in a thermal at a 60 degree angle does so at 2 Gs. To calculate the stall speed at this angle one must take the square root of 2, which is 1.4, and multiply that number by the published level stall speed of 40 which would make the new stall speed 56 mph and not 80 mph as the calculator indicates. Also, could you add a simple calculator function to this calculator?

Very nice and comprehensive, the ease of use is very nice and intuitive. Wish I would have had something like this when I was a student. As an airline Captain, there are many useful items that are now indispensable, specially the conversions from metric to standard systems. Im sure the are items that can be improved but as it stands, its a very nice app for the money.
