Over 200,000 satisfied customers know why Sporty’s® Electronic E6B™ is best! Now you can perform the same calculations on Palm-based PDAs.
Our Electronic E6Bs are invaluable during flight training, and are approved for use on FAA exams. But these powerful Flight Computers are great for more than just student pilots. Their pilot-friendly design makes quick work of any navigational, weight and balance, or fuel problem and it also performs conventional arithmetic calculations. Whether it’s pre-flight or in the cockpit, our compact E6Bs are a helpful companion for any pilot.
New functions!
Electronic E6Bs now include three new features, so they’re even more useful than ever. All three are great in the cockpit, whether you’re a student pilot or an ATP.
• Required Rate of Descent function is an invaluable VNAV tool. Enter current altitude and groundspeed, plus crossing altitude and your distance to the crossing fix and the E6B tells you your required rate of descent (in ft/min). You’ll make that crossing restriction every time!
• Top of Descent function tells you how far out (in miles) to start your descent. Tell the E6B your groundspeed and current altitude, plus desired altitude and descent rate and you’ll know just when to start a smooth descent.
• Specific Range function allows you to quickly find the most fuel-efficient cruising altitude. You can easily compare between two or three altitudes to determine whether the lower fuel burn at a higher altitude is worth the higher headwind. Great for conserving fuel or extending range.

Works on any PDA Device using Palm OS 4.0 or newer
Sporty’s E6B Palm software performs 23 aviation functions and 14 aviation conversions. Same pilot-friendly design makes quick work of any navigational, weight and balance, or fuel problem and it also performs conventional arithmetic calculations. The conversion function lets you go from nautical to statute, fahrenheit to celsius and 12 other common conversions at the touch of a button.
The software prompts you for the proper inputs as you work through a problem line-by-line. Information from previous computations is automatically retained for future use—no need to retype old data into new problems—just like our Electronic E6B Flight computers.
Clock page permits simultaneous tracking of Zulu, Home and Local time zones. The advanced timer counts up or down and operates independently so you can perform other calculations while the timer is running. Upon reaching zero in the countdown mode, the timer begins flashing—a useful feature for missed approaches, switching tanks, etc. PDA Software is not approved for use during FAA exams.

Does not accept inputs from the keyboard on my Palm Treo, I must input with the stylus.
The menu is poorly organized and it takes longer to find the answer with this than with a mechanical E6B

Pros
Lots of information here, more than typical E6B functions. Inputted information stays there, in spite of closing the program or soft-starting the PDA, which is a good benefit. No crashes of the system yet, either.
Cons
No instructions, so there's a lot of guesswork to make things work. The acronyms that are used for different functions aren't standard, so it's a little hard to know what page will come up until it's been used for awhile. The font is very small on a Palm Centro--might be larger on a larger PDA--but there's no way to change it.
General Comments
Everything is there, but it's a little problematic to access without practice. The font is too small, making it hard to use "on the fly".

Pros
Everything you need and if you carry a palm (like my Centro), you will always have it at your side.
Cons
I am informed that palm-based E6B calculators are not allowed in examinations (due to the possibility of cheating), while regular E6B calculators (ones that do not have other functions, email, etc.) are allowed. No big deal, but something you should be aware of if you are buying one.
General Comments
I am very happy with this purchase. The immediate download is very handy and worked perfectly.
