WingX 2.0 User Manual - FAASafety.gov

Weight and Balance
WingX currently stores over 470 aircraft models in an aircraft
model database. You then simply ‘tell’ WingX that your
aircraft in a Cirrus Design SR22 and WingX will ‘know’ what
the various stations are, how much fuel the aircraft can carry
etc. Using this data, a graphical representation of the Weight
and Balance calculations is displayed within the selected
envelope. The Maximum Zero Fuel Weight line is also
shown. Any of the various envelopes can be shown; e.g.
normal, utility, solo, etc. WingX will flag out of bounds
conditions with red text. A Summary Table can also be
displayed that matches the W&B table shown in most
POH/AFM manuals in Section 6.
The graph can be removed from the screen to provide more
space on height-limited devices such as those with 240x240
screen or in landscape mode. Conversely, the user can view
the graphical display in full screen mode to make viewing the
actual data points easier.
Route Planning
WingX will quickly and accurately perform route planning.
Using current or manually entered winds aloft information,
WingX will determine the ground speed, wind correction
angle, magnetic heading, true heading, Estimated Time
Enroute (ETE), Estimate Time of Arrival (ETA), fuel
consumption and more. Columns shown in the table are
user-configurable. WingX’s well thought-out user interface
displays this information concisely and intuitively.
Points along a route may include airports, navaids, fixes,
intersections, user-defined waypoints, and an arbitrary point
in space defined by bearing and distance from an airport,
navaid, fix, or intersection.
Routes may be saved, reverse, and renamed.
