Wing X works on the MS Pocket PC and Windows CE Platform

Aircraft
WingX keeps a database of the aircraft you fly, their type, year, and other useful information.  By associating an aircraft with a type, for example N9968B is a Cessna Cutlass RG, WingX uses the Weight and Balance information for a Cessna Cutlass RG when calculating N9968B's Weight and Balance (see below). The columns are user-configurable.  So if the user wants to see a column of the aircraft years instead of the model name, the visible columns can be changed. Moreover, the columns can be sorted.  One very use of this feature would be to sort the aircraft by their useful loads.  The user can then select the aircraft that most suits his or her needs.  Since several aircraft with the same aircraft model can have different useful loads depending on the installed equipment such as radios and air-conditioning units, WingX quickly let's you see which particular C172N at your FBO works for any particular flight.  You can sort by the aircraft by N-number, useful load or any other column simply by clicking on the appropriate column header.

What is the Dynamic Flight Navigator™?
The Dynamic Flight Navigator™ (DFN) is a single screen that pulls together all the relevant information and shows it clearly and concisely while providing fast access to additional information. The DFN displays the relevant frequencies, morse code, and additional useful information. The DFN is a superb tool to aid situation awareness.

GPS-Enabled 
WingX uses GPS data to drive the Dynamic Flight Navigator. GPS is incredibly accurate and allows WingX to accurately calculate position, bearing and distance to the next waypoint, cross-track error, and required descent rate to the destination. WingX supports practically all GPS receivers including Bluetooth and Compact Flash GPS receivers.

Identifiers
The current leg's identifiers are displayed at the top of the screen. An identifier can be an airport, navaid, intersection, fix, or user-defined waypoint. In addition to the actual identifiers, WingX displays the tower frequencies, whether the navaid has DME, its frequency, and its morse. For even more comprehensive information, tap on either identifier to display extensive A/FD information for that entity.

Location, Bearing, and Cross Track Information 
Accurate GPS-driven information such as Track, Ground Speed, and ETE are shown and directly below those, WingX shows the Bearing and Distance to the end of the current leg. Cross Track (XTK) can also be displayed.

Closest Airports and VORs 
To significantly improve situational awareness and reduce the need for fumbling around in sectionals and other resources, the DFN displays the three closest airports and VORs - simply switch between the two modes by tapping on them.

APD Buttons and Required Descent Rate 
To minimize 'looking down' and finger tapping, WingX provides a single button to jump to the Airport Diagram upon landing. When the required descent rate to the destination is greater than 50fpm, WingX displays the calculated descent rate.

All US NACO Charts  
Imagine having the entire set of all US Airport Diagrams, Departure Procedures, Instrument Approach Procedures, Minimums, and STARs in the palm of your hand. Now imagine being able to select a chart with just three taps of your thumb instead of paging through pages and pages in your approach binder at night.

Night Vision  
WingX has a 'Night Vision' mode which will invert the colors to preserve your night vision; i.e the large areas of white change to black and the black text changes to white. If you'd prefer, WingX can color-tint the charts in red, green, or blue.

Drag and Scale Stylus Free  
Don't fumble with a stylus trying to tap on a tiny scroll bar while bumping around in the clouds or even while just sitting at the FBO. Drag the chart around by sliding your finger over the screen. The chart can be reduced or enlarged by simply tapping

SmartTaxi™  
Using our own patent-pending algorithm, WingX accurately places an aircraft icon at the exact location on the airport diagram that corresponds with the GPS coordinates of the aircraft. The algorithm is fast, efficient, and extremely accurate. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this feature might just save your life. Don't get lost, get WingX.
Possible Runway Incursion Warning  
There are many reasons why Runway Incursions is on the most wanted list of changes of the NTSB. In fact, Runway Incursions has been on the list since its inception. Bad signage, poor visibility, poor markings, and a high workload all contribute to the dangers and increase the likelihood of a Runway Incursion and/or loss of Situational Awareness on the airport surface. A sad example is the recent Comair Flight 5191 accident where the pilots took off from the incorrect runway, a runway that was far too short for their takeoff roll. [What the Comair Flight 5191 crew would have heard from WingX]

WingX solves this problem in two ways. Firstly, using our patent-pending algorithm, WingX shows the aircraft's location on the airport diagram very accurately. Secondly, when the aircraft gets close to a runway and/or on a runway, WingX will both visually and audibly warn the pilot(s). The audio output is an extremely important component because it means that the crew does not even have to pay attention to the Pocket PC's screen, but would still receive the potential runway incursion warnings.

Runway Length Available  
When approaching a runway, WingX will show the length of runway remaining in both directions. For example, using the center screen shot above, WingX determines that there are 4,821' remaining on Runway 12L and 6,172' remaining on Runway 30R. When on a runway, WingX displays the length of runway remaining as well as the number of seconds that the aircraft has occupied the runway. This time guide is particularly useful when told to "Taxi into position and hold". For example, using the right-most screen shot above, WingX has determined that the aircraft is on Runway 31L with 2,996' remaining and the aircraft has been on the runway

Runway Identifiers  
WingX provides the option of displaying runway identifier labels at the runway ends. These labels make is easier to read the runway number, and they become significantly more readbale when the airport diagram is scaled down.

Drag and Scale Stylus Free  
Simply use your thumb to drag the airport diagram around the screen - no need to find the stylus and tap on a small scroll bar. The interface is superb and extremely slick.

By checking 'Z' checkbox in the top-right corner, Zulu times, instead of local times are displayed.  The 'nearest city' information is also shown - in our example, South Lake Tahoe Airport is 3 nautical miles southwest of South Lake Tahoe.

The final image in the sequence shows the Thumb Control screen to allow pilots to continue to operate the WingX E6B page in turbulence and/or while wearing gloves (military pilots).

Podcasts  
Don't be tied to a computer or the internet to listen to podcasts. Also, don't go searching around the web trying to locate ever-changing links to the podcast you want. WingX provides easy access to podcasts, organizes the podcasts, and downloads them while the Pocket PC has an Internet connection. Once the podcasts have been downloaded, an Internet connection is no longer required.
For pilots that have a device with a more permanent Internet connection, WingX provides instant access to podcasts anywhere and anytime. Note: An internet connection is required to download podcasts.

WingX knows the FARs!  Simply enter the date on which you had your medical examination, and WingX will figure out when each class of medical expires.  Similarly enter the date on which you took your BFR and WingX will calculate the date on which that BFR will expire.
