Tap on Cessna. Once the node has been expanded, select one of the Cessna
models that appear directly below Cessna. For example, to add N4754D that
is a 1979 Cessna 172N:
• First enter “N4754D” in the N-number text box.
• Tap on the to the left of Cessna. The tree will then show all the
Cessna aircraft in the WingX Aircraft Model Database. Using the
vertical scroll bar on the right, scroll down until you see “C172N” - tap
on it.
• To select a year, enter “1979” in the year text box, or simply tap-nhold
in the year text box to get a list of possible years. To choose
1979, first tap on 1970 – this will show all the years from 1970 to 1979.
Then tap on 1979.
You have now told WingX that Cessna N4754D is a 1979 Cessna 172N. Finally, tap on the Add button. A
dialog box will be displayed saying “N4754D added.”. This notification may be turned off – see the “Prefs”
menu option and its “Notify on add” submenu option.
If an aircraft with the same N-number already exists, an error message will be displayed.
