EFB-Pro is an aircraft performance calculator for professional flight crews, providing offline access to AFM-compliant takeoff and landing data on iOS.
The App DNA
What makes this app unique?
It removes the connectivity dependency for critical flight calculations, allowing pilots to maintain regulatory compliance in remote environments where internet access is unavailable.
For Professional turbine aircraft pilots and flight crews requiring FAA, EASA, and JAR compliant performance calculations.
What does it look like?
Key features
Calculates takeoff and landing metrics directly from Aircraft Flight Manual data for turbine aircraft.
Stores international runway data locally to enable calculations without internet connectivity.
Visualizes takeoff distance and climb gradients across temperature ranges in 2C increments.
How much does it cost?
The subscription model is gated by B2B account status with the developer, requiring an existing enterprise relationship to function.
Velocity
Maintenance developmentnew contentUX improvementsShow more...
With only one release recorded in the last three months, the development cadence is currently at a maintenance level. The latest update focused on functional improvements including SID compliance and simulator data recording. There is no evidence of a high-frequency release cycle or live-ops activity. Development appears to be focused on targeted feature enhancements rather than rapid iteration.

Key takeaways for EFB-Pro
Where is it heading?
The aviation reference market is shifting toward modern, RAG-powered utilities that offer natural language querying and real-time synchronization. EFB-Pro's current maintenance-mode posture and technical instability leave it exposed to more agile rivals that offer a more reliable cockpit experience.
- Critical registration and crash blockers prevent core access, which erodes the trust of professional flight departments.
- The release cadence has slowed to maintenance-only, signaling that feature expansion is secondary to basic stability.
The SWOT
- Offline runway database removes connectivity dependency for critical flight calculations
- AFM-compliant modeling provides essential decision support for high and hot operations
- Localized performance forecasting (PCast) justifies the enterprise subscription cost
- Direct technical support provides a retention lever for complex flight departments

Since the last report: Critical registration and crash blockers have emerged, shifting the app's sentiment from neutral to negative and forcing a pivot in development priorities toward core stability.
Bottom line
The reliance on offline-first performance modeling provides a defensible niche, but the current registration and crash blockers prevent users from accessing the value they pay for. Resolving these stability issues would unlock the retention potential of the existing professional user base.
