Pilot calculators
The E6B and ground-school calculations student pilots use most, each with the formula shown so you can check your own work.
Training aid only. Not for flight planning or operational use. Use official weather, your aircraft's POH or AFM, and approved flight-planning tools for real flights.
- Crosswind calculatorEnter the runway and the wind to get the crosswind and headwind (or tailwind) components, gusts included, with a diagram.
- Density altitude calculatorWork out density altitude from field elevation, altimeter setting, temperature and dew point, next to the classroom rule of thumb.
- Pressure altitude calculatorGet pressure altitude from field elevation and the altimeter setting in inHg or hPa, with the 1,000-feet-per-inch rule of thumb.
- True airspeed calculatorConvert calibrated airspeed to true airspeed from pressure altitude and outside air temperature, plus Mach number.
- Flight time calculatorFind flight time from distance and groundspeed, or speed and distance from the other two, and turn block times into logbook hours.
- E6B flight computer onlineThe E6B wind side online: heading, wind correction angle and groundspeed from course, true airspeed and wind, plus the other E6B tools.
