About Vane: E6B Flight Computer
Vane is a modern glass-cockpit E6B — the classic flight computer, reimagined for the way pilots fly today. Fourteen precise instruments in one fast, beautiful app, from preflight planning to the cockpit — and every calculator works offline. Every result is built on real aeronautical formulas and shows its work, so you can trust the number and understand it — ideal for student pilots training for the checkride and for working pilots who want the answer in one tap. — 14 PILOT INSTRUMENTS — • Wind Triangle — heading, ground speed and wind correction angle from wind and course • Crosswind — headwind and crosswind components for any runway • Weight & Balance — live CG and envelope check for every load • Nav Log — multi-leg cross-country planning with 48,000 airports built in • METAR & TAF — aviation weather decoded into plain language • Density & Pressure Altitude — your true performance conditions • True Airspeed & Mach — CAS, TAS and Mach from altitude and temperature • Fuel — burn, endurance, range and reserves • Performance — takeoff, landing, climb and glide distances • Heading — true, magnetic and compass with variation and deviation • Holding — entry, timing and hold planning • Top of Descent — when to start down for a smooth arrival • Altitude & Speed — pressure and density altitude at a glance • Conversions — every aviation unit: knots, nm, feet, °C, inHg, hPa and more — BUILT FOR THE COCKPIT — • Offline calculators — every airport, formula and table lives on your device; only live weather needs a connection • Show your work — open any result into clear, step-by-step math • Cold-temperature altitude corrections for IFR approaches, matching the AIM's ICAO table • Save calculations and reopen them anytime • 48,000 airports, runways and frequencies bundled in • Magnetic variation built in — no internet lookup — THREE COCKPITS — • Day, night and red night-vision themes to protect your eyes on late flights • Metric or imperial — your units, everywhere • A calm, high-contrast instrument panel designed to read at a glance Vane is made for student pilots, private pilots (PPL), commercial and airline pilots, CFIs and anyone flying VFR or IFR. Replace your plastic E6B and a pocket full of apps with one instrument. Fly prepared. Download Vane.
What’s new
Version 1.3.1 · Updated October 21, 2026
New in 1.3.1 • Weight & balance: the samples are now a Cessna 172S and a Piper PA-28-161 Warrior II, with weight and CG limits from the FAA Type Certificate Data Sheets. The old Skyhawk-class sample accepted forward CGs no 172S allows • Samples you never edited update themselves. Aircraft you edited or added, your loading and your selection stay as they were • Sample empty weights and loads are still examples: use your aircraft's weight and balance report • Feature requests: votes show at once, even offline, and a failed vote or comment says why Also in 1.3 • Cold Temp (Pro): cold-temperature altitude corrections for your approach (FAF, DA/MDA and missed approach), matching the AIM's ICAO table • Pressure altitude now matches the FAA handbook's altimeter-setting table • Density and true altitude use the exact E6B formulas, not rules of thumb • Every tool gives the same answers in any mix of units • Metric inputs step in round figures; the keypad no longer rounds values you didn't change • Fixes to weight & balance limits and the nav log aircraft list
