WingX 2.0 User Manual - FAASafety.gov

When WingX has determined that no limit has been exceeded, the appropriate values for the Ramp, Takeoff,
and Landing phases of the flight will be displayed on a green background. The green background is used to
quickly convey a “within limits” weight and balance situation.
Exceeding Limits
If a warning condition occurs, the Weight and Balance Status Section will be displayed on a red background.
The red background is used to quickly convey an “out of limits” weight and balance situation. The Status
Section will also use a red background to display an “Input bad” warning message since WingX cannot make a
weight and balance determination. The offending text box will also have a red background.
There are various types of warnings that may occur. Some examples are:
• Exceeding Maximum Zero Fuel Weight, Ramp weight, Takeoff
weight, and/or Landing weight
• Exceeding baggage limits
• Out of CG
• Input bad; e.g. “-9” or “9H7” – must be numbers
All are self-explanatory; "Input bad" occurs when an inappropriate value is
entered and is marked by the text box changing to a red background. Below
are some examples:
Configuration Section
The second line of information is called the Configuration Section as it contains three pieces of information
related to the Weight and Balance display configuration. For screen shots, please see the ones in the Status
Section. The pieces of information are:
• Total Weight, Below Gross, or CG: The text message indicates whether the Status Section is
displaying the aircraft’s total weight, pounds below maximum gross weight, or its CG for each of the
phases of flight. To change this display, simply tap.
• Tap-n-hold for menu: Use the popup menu from the graphical section to configure various settings
of the Weight and Balance page. This text never changes and its only task is to serve as a reminder that
tap-n-hold is the way to change configuration settings.
• Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, or Solo: This configuration message informs the user as to which
envelope is being displayed in the Graphical Section and ultimately, to what envelope the aircraft
loading is being constrained. To change the envelope, use the popup menu – see its description later in
the chapter.
