Runway Identifiers
Displaying the runway identifiers is an important aspect of viewing an airport
diagram which has a complex runway layout and also when the airport diagram
may be zoomed out. If the runway identifiers prove to be distracting, they can
be turned off via the Chart menu.
Flight Safety
Please refer to the SmartTaxi Flight Safety warning.
Chart Selection
Once an airport’s ID is selected, a specific chart for that airport may be chosen. To select a chart, either tap on
the chart name on the screen, or use the popup menu in the bottom-right of the screen and select “Charts…”.
The Chart Selection dialog will be displayed. It uses big buttons to make it easier to be used in flight especially
in turbulent conditions. The chart types are shown along the bottom, scroll buttons are shown on the right,
and the chart names are listed alphabetically. Tapping on a chart name will cause that chart to be displayed on
the Chart page.
Download Options
WingX’s advanced image compression algorithms reduce the file size of the charts. These smaller files result in
faster downloads and less memory required to store the charts. In addition, WingX provides two options to
tailor the chart download to the pilot’s specific requirements. These options are the required region and
whether or not all the charts or only the airport diagrams are required.
Regions
WingX downloads and stores charts as regions. WingX will only store a single region at a time. Therefore
downloading California and then Nevada, for example, will cause the Nevada region to erase the California
region. In this case, it would make sense for the Western region to be downloaded. The following regions are
selectable:
