WingX 2.0 User Manual - FAASafety.gov

Selecting an N-number
To select a specific aircraft, tap anywhere on that aircraft’s row in the table.
WingX will use the selected aircraft to remove, enter the weight and moment,
and on the Weight and Balance page.
Removing an N-number
Occasionally it will be necessary to remove a specific aircraft. Removing an aircraft is as
simple as selecting the aircraft and tapping on the Remove button. Tapping on the
Remove button will display the following dialog box – tap on Yes to remove the N-
number. This warning will be displayed by default. To turn it off so that WingX
immediately removes the aircraft without asking, see the Prefs menu option and its
“Confirm on remove” submenu option.
Aircraft Weight and Moment
In addition to the model information that WingX will automatically use for
weight and balance calculations, empty weight and empty moment are values
that are specific to each aircraft. These numbers are typically stored in the
aircraft’s POH/AFM.
To enter an aircraft’s empty weight and moment, first select the aircraft. Then
tap the Properties button. A dialog box that allows you to enter the aircraft’s
empty weight and moment will be displayed. Enter the aircraft’s empty weight
in pounds and the aircraft’s longitudinal empty moment in pound.inches - do
not enter this value divided by 1000.
Helicopter pilots must enter the lateral moment to enable the lateral envelope
CG and envelope calculations. Enter the aircraft’s longitudinal empty moment
in pound.inches - do not enter this value divided by 1000.
Flight Safety
This information is specific to each aircraft (N-number). Always
use the most current information contained in the Weight
and Balance section of the specific aircraft’s POH.
