Info

Example: If the first time is entered as “1:30:00” and the second is “2.3”, then WingX adds these together and displays both “3:48:00” and “3.8” as the result. Times may also be negative thereby allowing the subtraction of times. Flight/Block Duty Times Flight/Block Duty times use specific dates and times for Out, Off, On, and In; i.e. time out the gate, time off the runway, time on the runway, and time in the gate. Using the differences between Off and On and the difference between time Out and In, WingX will calculate the Flight and Black times respectively. Example: The aircraft is out the gate on September 7, 2006 at 11:56pm, off the runway at 11:58pm. The aircraft lands at 2:23am the following date and is in the gate at 2:27am. Using this information, WingX calculates the flight and block times as 2:25:00 (or 2.417) and 2:31:00 (2.517) respectively. Miscellaneous Sub-page Wind Chill and Frostbite While not specifically aviation-related, calculating wind chill and frostbite values can be extremely valuable in cold climates. Wind chill is defined as “The temperature of windless air that would have the same effect on exposed human skin as a given combination of wind speed and air temperature.” and is therefore a function of wind speed and temperature. Frostbite is defined as “Injury or destruction of skin and underlying tissue, most often that of the nose, ears, fingers, or toes, resulting from prolonged exposure to freezing or subfreezing temperatures.” and is a function of wind chill and exposure time. Four Examples: Let’s assume that a cold front has moved through the area and that the METAR on the Weather page area shows an ambient temperature of -28˚C. Using one of the following wind speeds: 0, 10, 20, and 35 knots, the severity of the exposure is shown in different colors as seen below. 78
Thumb Control Thumb Control allows a pilot to continue to use WingX while in flight in turbulence or while wearing gloves - perfect for General Aviation and Military pilots alike. To enable Thumb Control, tap on the “Prefs” menu option, then select “Thumb Control”. If the option is checked, it means that Thumb Control is enabled. Once enabled, anytime an editable text box on the E6B page is selected (i.e. you tap on the text box), a dialog box with large buttons will appear allowing values to be entered while in turbulence or while flying with gloves. The Thumb Control dialog box is show on the right. Its prominent heading shows the data to be entered. In the example on the right, the user is requested to enter a temperature in Fahrenheit. The entered value appears, and is updated as buttons are pressed, below the heading. At this point in the example, the user has entered “90”. Pressing the “OK” button would confirm this value and automatically enter it into the appropriate text box. The Thumb Control Dialog consists of digits as well as a +/- button, decimal point button, and a backspace button. The digit buttons simply add a digit to the number shown. The decimal point button is enabled only if the number does not already contain a decimal point. The backspace button is only enabled when there are digits to delete. 79
