column. To view TC, tap on the column header “MH”. Similarly, tap on the column header to view WCA,<br />

TH, and then back to MH.<br />

Tap on the heading column header to cycle through TC, WCA, TH, and MH.<br />

Column Selection<br />

Using the Prefs, Route, Columns submenu, the route list view can<br />

be configured to show or hide specific columns. For example, in<br />

the example on the right, the Name column has been deselected<br />

thereby allowing the Ground Speed column to be visible without<br />

scrolling.<br />

The Name column is generally wider that the other columns and<br />

since pilot are generally familiar with the airport/navaid identifiers,<br />

the Name column is a prime candidate for deselection. Of course,<br />

the Name column (or any other column) can quickly be added back<br />

by tapping on Prefs, Route, Columns from the <strong>WingX</strong> main menu.<br />

Performance and Wind Effects<br />

An additional feature of the route table is the summarization of<br />

performance and any wind effects on the overall flight time.<br />

In our example above, the summary information is shown to the<br />

right. The total distance is shown as 72.6nm, the total ETE is<br />

00:39:54, fuel burn is 8.0 gallons per hour, average ground speed is<br />

109 knots, and the effect of the wind has lengthened the flight time<br />

by 00:03:34; i.e. 3 minutes and 34 seconds. A negative time value<br />

would indicate that the wind has shortened the total flight time.<br />
