## Description

Flight Computer Sim offers an easy and intuitive digital simulation of the E6B slide ruler, widely used by aircraft pilots for in-flight calculations. This Chrome extension provides a high-resolution, interactive ruler with smooth rotating, sliding, and pinch-zooming controls, delivering precision akin to handling a physical slide rule.

Enjoy all three essential modes: unit conversions, wind corrections for low speed, and wind corrections for high speed. Ideal for pilots seeking a reliable and realistic E6B tool directly in their browser. For advanced features, users can explore Flight Computer Pro.

## Review summary

Users praise Flight Computer Sim as a very capable study tool that feels authentic and is handy for exam practice. Repeated concerns focus on intrusive ads, incomplete accuracy/features for training (wind, density altitude, crosswind data), upgrade/download friction, occasional startup issues, and some UI quirks. Addressing ads, feature gaps, and reliability could elevate it as a top aviation exam prep app.

### Pros

- Excellent study tool for PPL/FAA exam practice.
- Feels authentic and like a real E6B.
- Easy to use and intuitive.
- Handy for practice when you don't have your flight computer (e.g., on public transport).
- Widely regarded as useful and helpful for exam prep.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads (full-page ads and loud video ads) disrupt usage.
- Accuracy and training feature gaps (wind calculations missing, density altitude issues, missing crosswind/headwind data).
- Upgrade/purchase friction: professional version update requires re-downloading; existing app isn't updated automatically.
- Stability issues: some users report the app won't open.
- UI/navigation quirks: quit button can interfere with Android navigation; requests for zoom/reset features not currently available.
