eSixB+ Flight Computer
Version 6.0
Copyright 2001, 2002, James M. Eli

This program quickly and easily calculates various flight equations similar to what could be computed manually with an E-6B flight computer (whiz-wheel). This program's functions are useful during both preflight and in-flight environments. The program is distributed as full-featured, "nag-less" shareware. Evaluate it for up to 14 days, and if you find it useful, you can purchase it. Don't be fooled by overpriced imitation programs, eSixB+ has over 102 conversion functions alone!

Includes a 26-page reference manual!

New features added to the latest version:

• Now fully functional with all versions of Palm OS!
• Supports Waypoint Databases!
• Download includes a U.S. public/private airport database.
• Supports integrated waypoint flight planning.
• Waypoint database can be accessed from an expansion card.
• Try it for free! Install eSixB+ and access the Nav:Rhumbline function.

eSixB+ allows Finger Input!

• Easier to use in-flight and at night
• Use the PageDown Button to access

eSixB+ includes a 4-Function Popup Calculator!

• Use the PageUp Button to access

The algorithms used in this program have been extensively tested to ensure accuracy, however it is acknowledged that errors and omissions do exist. In all cases of discrepancies, the aircraft Operator's Manual and the pilot's best judgment are the final authority for resolving any disparities. Use this program at your own risk.
