WingX 2.0 User Manual - FAASafety.gov

Numeric Text Boxes
WingX has numerous numeric text boxes. One example is the Year text box on the Add Aircraft page. Other
examples are the speed and wind text boxes on the Route page, and all the text boxes on the E6B page.
On the Weight and Balance page, the popup menus display various weights in 10 pound increments. The
menu will even display “Full” for all aircraft, and “Tabs” for aircraft such as the Piper Archer that has tabs in
the fuel tanks.
Most Recently Used Airports, Navaids, Fixed, and Intersections
Text boxes that allow for airport, navaid, or fix identifiers have a popup menu
that very conveniently allows the user to select an airport, navaid, or fix from a
‘most recently used’ list. The most recently used lists consist of the most
recently used airports, navaids, or fixes. The Home Airport, as selected as via
the Prefs main menu option, will always appear in the most recently used
airport list. If airports only (not navaids and fixes) are allowable for a specific
text box (e.g. Sun Page – see example on the right), then only the most recently
used airport list is displayed. The list will be sorted alphabetically per the
identifier. As seen in the example on the right, the longer airport names are
truncated to ensure that the names fit within the popup menu. Truncated
airport names end in “…”.
The popup menu will also provide the option to search for airports.
Airport Search Menu Option
Airport Text boxes include an “Airport Search…” option in its popup menu.
Airport search allows you to search for airports using the airport name, name
of the city near to the airport, or distance from another airport. In the example
on the right, all public airports were searched to find airports that are close to
the city of Fresno (California). The case of the text is not important; i.e.
“fresno” is the same as “FRESNO”. Tap on the pulldown on the top line to
search by Name, City, Distance. Tap on “Search” to begin searching.
WingX searches on partial names, so searching for “palo” finds:
• Palo Duro
• Mc Clellan-Palomar
• Palo Alto Arpt of Santa Clara
