Tap on the identifier to display A/FD information for that
airport, navaid, fix, intersection, or waypoint.
• The GPS Data Section and Flight Data Section display information derived directly from a GPS
receiver and positional information related to the GPS information. For example, using the screen shot
above, the GPS receiver is showing the aircraft on a track of 292˚, a groundspeed of 67 knots, an
approximate MSL altitude of 3,999’, course to SFO airport is 295˚, nautical miles to go is 14.7, and it
would take 13:12 to get there at the current ground speed. SmartTaxi calibrates the displayed MSL
altitude upon departure, but if a pilot were to note a discrepancy between what was being displayed on
the DFN and the altimeter, tapping on the Altitude box would allow the pilot to enter the current MSL
altitude. By entering nothing on the altitude entry screen returns the display to GPS Altitude.
Tap on Altitude to alternate between raw GPS altitude and calibrated MSL Altitude.
Tap on NM to alternate between distance to go (NM) and crosstrack (XTK).
• The Closest Airport/VOR Section is an extremely
powerful aid in helping a pilot’s positional awareness.
WingX determines, in real-time, the three closest
airports/VORs to the aircraft’s position and presents
pertinent information - this is an important safety factor as it
significantly increases a pilot’s time for ‘see-and-avoid’
instead of being heads-down in a sectional or flight guide.
The DFN displays the following information:
o Airports: The bearing to, distance to, tower frequency, and ATIS frequency.
o VORs: The bearing to, distance to, VOR frequency, and VOR morse code.
Tap on the Closest Airport/VOR Section to alternate
between showing airport and VOR information.
