WingX 2.0 User Manual - FAASafety.gov

There are three important rules when entering a route:
1. Separate identifiers with a space
2. Prepend navaids with a period.
3. Use the ICAO or shortened identifier; e.g. KSJC is the same as SJC
Example:
Let’s work through an example from San Jose International Airport
(SJC) to Sacramento Executive Airport (SAC) via the SUNOL
intersection, Livermore Airport (LVK), the SAC VOR, and finally
to SAC Airport. The route would be entered as: “SJC SUNOL
LVK .SAC SAC”.
Assuming our airspeed was 120 knots, the wind at our altitude was
330˚ at 15 knots, and our average fuel burn was 12 gallons per hour
(GPH). Using popup menus, the number 120 was entered in the
Speed text box, the numbers 330 and 15 were entered in the wind
direction and wind speed text boxes respectively, and 12 was entered
in the Fuel Per Hour (FPH) text box.
To alternate between Longer than Great Circle, Total Route
Distance, Maximum Airport to Airport, and Maximum
Airport from Origin distances, tap on the yellow
summary section below the table.
At this point, WingX has the information it needs to completely calculate the route information. Using our
example, the full route would be:

Note the period preceding the Sacramento VOR identifier. Due to screen space constraints on handheld
devices, WingX conveniently displays TC, WCA, TH, and MH all in one column and allows each one to be
viewed in sequence by simply tapping on the column header. For example, MH will initially be displayed in the
