Welcome to FlyBy E6B
for iPad™
iPhone®, and iPod touch®
FlyBy E6B is an essential application for all pilots. Designed by a professional airline pilot it includes many features not found in other E6B programs.
Originally published in 1999, this version conforms to the iPhone interface but retains the familiar look, feel and format of the original FlyBy E6B. If you used FlyBy E6B before, then you should feel right at home with the iOS version. We have faithfully reproduced the menu order and input/output screens.
What’s new for iOS:
Apple’s iOS brings with it connectivity and processing power that was not available to the Palm OS devices that FlyBy E6B was originally written for.
- FlyBy E6B now includes a weather page that will display the current METAR/TAF/Decoded weather for an ICAO reporting station, downloaded directly from the NOAA weather service.
- The Track and Distance Navigation module now includes a Great Circle track plotting feature that will display your route on a Google Map.
- All functions now include an offline help page that can be accessed by pressing the small “i” button.
- Large easy to read screen fonts.
- Familiar FMC like user interface (iPad).
Always improving:
FlyBy E6B was one of the very first applications of its kind published for the Palm OS. Used by thousands of pilots the world over, it has evolved from the suggestions and feedback we have received.
From True Airspeed, to Point of No Return calculations, FlyBy E6B does it all.
Fast and easy to use, FlyBy E6B is consistent with the simple SkyWriter Software style you have come to expect.
All input and calculated values are retained after exiting the program. Calculated values are also automatically transferred from one function to the next.
