PFMA E6B app good for
hi, really nice one I love it, very handy and useful. however as for the fuel section Id love to have my fuel quantity decreasing after engine start based on fuel consuming average that we type down. Would it be available in the next release? I hope so :-)
thanks much!
be good

Being a professional pilot, Im really impressed with this FMS style calculator. With its clear MENU, and well thought UI, all the functions are user friendly; turning on the application puts me right in my work environment. I see this PFMA Aviation Calculator as a modern replacement of the old E6B wheel, a great tool to carry in pilots iPhone. Great Job!!!
Easy to user interface, accurate results, all it takes is a little practice before trying it inflight.
Would really like to see it support airport/facility codes to calculate distance and a page to retrieve weather info (metar, taf and winds aloft)
Good app but it is time for an upgrade to the iphone 5 screen size...!
I fly the big birds, and Ive been using PFMA for the last couple of weeks. Its real intuitive for me (dont understand the one star reviewer that couldnt 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.
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.
Some bad moments
Doesnt 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.
This app is really nothing more than a whiz bang toy. Yes it is cool that it interfaces like an FMS, but can it do a knots to Mach airspeed calculation....no it cant. Dont waste your money.
