Love the interface

Looks great but needs more functions. Great version 1 product.

Hi hopes dashed by poor product

Doesn't take the place of my wizz wheel. Have tried to use it for the past several days and even had my instructor try to use. I feel like I wasted my money. I never write reviews but felt that my disapointment made this necessary.

Just as the real fms

I fly the big birds, and I've been using PFMA for the last couple of weeks. It's real intuitive for me (don't understand the one star reviewer that couldn't use it...). The fact is that I own other e6b calculators, and PFMA interface is much more simple and fun to use. Besides it is a very good learning tool for any wannabe airline pilot since it has the same basic interface as boeing and airbus flight management computers. Hope to see weather and w&b in the future, sure it has the potential. Meantime I 'll continue using Aeroweather (great free weather tool) and PFMA for my daily calculations.

PFMA v1.1 is GREAT!

I am an airline pilot and software engineer. PFMA is definately on the right track. 4 stars to motivate the developers to continue with improvements. Kinda expensive, will limit those willing to try it. Worth the price if future improvemts are timely and the app continues to grow. Complements all the same.

Private pilot easy

This may be patterned after airline flight computers, but it is quite easy to use after a little reading of the online manual. There is a link to it right in the program. More importantly this is what an E6B computer should be... not a series of windows to choose the calculation, but 2 main windows to give you back and forth access that you would have if you were using a wizwheel. I have used at least 4 other apps and online webpages as well, but nothing compares to this. No more picking the "Heading, Ground Speed, WCA" when I meant to pick "Course, Ground Speed, WCA." With this app it's all in the same place and it carries over calculations between windows, which is very smart. Thank you TATA mobile.

Sure worth to buy

I use it in the 737... For to main reasons... Time calc... Made simple... And the other is to calculate the vertical path. The airplane does a good job... But the calculations my instructor teached me make the airplane descent in a more constant path... To do mental calculations and fly the plane may be stressfull sometimes... Here is where the app makes the difference... Using the vertical profile calculator... Using the distance , altitude i have to be in the next waypoint, and glide angle, i get a precise altitude to be passing, and know if im to high or to low. Sure recomended!

Excellent...

Excellent, very useful app. for inflight unit conversions.... Keep improving.

Great

I fly jet aircraft International and use your App all the time thanks

Great for airliner

It is very useful in the airplane and easy to use the FMS interface really great idea and I like it , I wish they update it and add mor application

Excellent Update!

You can now use the Convert>Time menu to input the GMT offset of your destination. Now you can take the arrival time off of the FMS, input it in GMT, and know the arrival time in the local timezone of your destination while displaying a time to go countdown timer. Very useful for making announcements, answering the pestering inquiries of the flight attendants, etc. I use the app constantly for evaluating Mach number changes and the corresponding ground speed changes vs ETA. The cool thing about the app is that it is designed by airline pilots for airline pilots. It works WITH the data on your FMS, but gives you answers that the FMS can't. Must have if you fly professionally, even more so if you fly ocean crossings and want another backup navigation source!
