Online Aviation Instrument Simulators + E6b, CR3 and other Flight Computer Calculators
This website is your go-to resource for aviation calculations. You'll find a wide variety of tools, including E6B and CR-3 flight computer calculations, and what we're confident is the best E6B emulator available online. Before you begin, please take a moment to read and understand thedisclaimer.
Learn or teach the basics of instrument flying quickly and easily with our powerful simulator. It's designed specifically to avoid the complicated controls of other flight simulators, letting you focus on navigation. Use three simultaneous navaids plus an intersection to hone your skills. The simulator features a full suite of common instruments, including:
Airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator
Attitude indicator and turn coordinator
HSI, VOR, ADF, and RMI (with dual navaid tuning)
Heading indicator
DME (showing distance, speed, and ETA)
New! Anonline (browser) version of the Navigation Simulator is now available. It works in your browser and is nearly identical to the WindowsPC version. This means you can use it on aMac, Windows, or Linux computer. While the online version is great, the standalone PC version will provide the best user experience for Windows users. For comprehensive video demonstrations, please visit thePresentations section.
To ensure the best experience for every user, we offer three versions of ourVOR,HSI,RMI, andADF simulators. They are designed to work with different screen sizes and computer speeds:
Great News on Flash™ Emulation "Leveraging the safety of the modern browser sandbox and the memory safety guarantees ofRust, we can confidently avoid all the security pitfalls that Flash had a reputation for."

Explore our interactive pitot-static system simulator, a comprehensive tool for understanding how flight instruments work. This page features a detailed diagram where you can change the aircraft's altitude and speed to observe real-time reactions on the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator. To learn about common failure modes, you can simulate ice or debris blockages in the pitot-tube and static ports, comparing the erroneous instrument readings against an unaffected reference system side-by-side. The simulator also allows for custom altimeter settings and non-standard temperatures, providing a dynamic and practical learning experience.
Explore the fundamental properties of our atmosphere with our comprehensivecalculator based on theU.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1976. This model is the official U.S. implementation of the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) and remains the cornerstone for modern aircraft design and instrument calibration.
What makes our calculator uniquely powerful is itsbidirectional flexibility. Unlike typical tools where you can only input altitude, here you can enter a known value forany of the 28 atmospheric properties—from temperature to density or pressure—and it will instantly solve for all the others. This dynamic capability means our single calculator performs the work of378 different function combinations, making it an exceptionally versatile tool for engineers, pilots, and students.
As part of "Webmaster Tools" this flash-based applet is available for your site. Customizable styles and layouts allow for hundreds of combinations. You will need to install a Flash emulator such as Ruffle.Click here to learn more.
