Using the calculators
What do I need to enter to see density altitude?
Open ALTITUDE-AIRSPEED and enter enough information for the calculation, such as pressure altitude and OAT (Outside Air Temperature). DENSITY ALT appears once the required inputs are available. If an input is missing, the result remains blank.
Which format should I use for latitude and longitude?
Use hemisphere letters and a colon between degrees and minutes. For example:
N50:00.0/W050:00.0Seconds can also be entered explicitly, for example N50:00:34/W050:01:20. Use the / separator before longitude. See the manual for the coordinate-entry controls in your version.
How can I show scratchpad time as hours, minutes and seconds?
Press CNV repeatedly to cycle the numerical value in the scratchpad through the available formats, including HH:mm:ss. This also helps when adding or subtracting time values.
How do I start over when existing inputs affect the result?
Press and hold CLR, then select an editable field to apply CLR ALL to the current calculator. Re-enter the values for the new calculation. For time, distance and ground-speed calculations, use NAVIGATION.
What does XING ALT mean on the Vertical Profile screen?
XING ALT is an approximate temperature-corrected altitude reference using the entered airport temperature and a constant lapse rate. It helps illustrate how temperature affects the descent profile. It is a situational-awareness reference; consult the manual for the calculation and its limitations.
Settings & timers
Can I choose a different cockpit colour theme?
Yes. Go to SETUP → OPERATION and change THEME. The available themes include BLUE, DESERT and GREY.
Where can I turn off the keypad click?
Go to SETUP → OPERATION and set SOUND to OFF.
Can I give the timers their own names?
Versions with the alphanumeric keypad support names for the timers. Use the keyboard to enter a timer label; the manual explains the timer controls.
Installing & purchases
Do I need to buy PFMA E6B again when I replace my iPhone?
Sign in on the new iPhone with the same Apple Account used for the original app purchase, then download PFMA E6B again from your App Store purchase history. You should not have to buy the same app again. If you have trouble finding the purchase, contact support.
How do optional module purchases work in Lite?
In Lite versions that offer module purchases, an asterisk marks an optional purchase. Select it to review the calculations, screenshots and current store price. Miscellaneous offers individual modules and a package. After a module purchase, UNLOCK ALL can offer the remaining modules inside Lite at an eligible package price.
Before any module purchase, BUY FULL opens the separate paid PFMA E6B app. Buying that separate app does not unlock Lite or transfer purchases between the two apps.
How do I request restoration of Lite modules?
Use the same store account that made the original module purchases. Open a locked item and choose Restore purchases. Connect to the internet so the store and verification service can check the purchases.
Can I use the calculators without a connection?
The calculators work offline. A purchased module needs to be verified and saved on the device first. Buying modules, restoring purchases on a new installation and checking purchase validity require an internet connection.
