METAR List View WingX extracts important pieces of METAR information and displays them in an easy-to-read color-coded table with each METAR-reporting airport being displayed on a single line. The METAR List consists of 10 columns: • Airport ID - this column is color-coded. • Wind Direction and Speed • Visibility • Ceiling - the lowest reported ceiling. • Temperature - the reported temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. • Dewpoint - the reported dewpoint in Fahrenheit or Celsius. • Altimeter Setting – in inches of mercury • Field Elevation - as reported in the A/FD. • Density Altitude - the density altitude at the airport using the weather condition as reported by the METAR. • Airport ID - this column is color-coded and is a duplicate of the first column to help interpretation when the METAR List is scroll to the far-right. If a route is entered, WingX will display METAR-reporting airports along the route. METAR List of airports close to MFV Same METARs, but scrolled to the right. Note how WingX displays the identifiers both on the left side and on the right side. 84
Winds Aloft View WingX displays winds aloft information of nearby winds aloft-reporting stations. The format is very similar to the familiar DUATS columnar format except that the display is a lot cleaner and easier to read. Wind components with wind speeds greater than 99 knots are reported as 230@150 instead of the DUATS-encoded 730@50 (for example). If a route is entered, WingX will display winds aloft-reporting airports along the route. Temperatures Aloft View WingX displays temperatures aloft information of nearby temperatures aloftreporting stations. The format is very similar to the familiar DUATS columnar format except that the display is a lot cleaner and easier to read. Negative temperatures are shown as negative numbers. WingX will automatically calculate the freezing level and display it in the first column. If a route is entered, WingX will display temperatures aloft-reporting airports along the route. 6 Hr Trend View Trend information is very difficult for a pilot to visualize from textual METAR reports. More often than not, only the latest METAR is shown via DUATs or given verbally by a briefer. Even if hourly METARs could be obtained, piecing together the full METAR reports together with amendments for six parameters is essentially an impossible task. In addition, the Visibility and Ceiling graphs have an Airport Condition Trend bar at the top to indicate how the conditions have changed over time. All colors used in this view are: Graphical Trend Information is displayed for the following pieces of information: • Visibility – the visibility in statute miles (SM). An Airport Condition Trend bar is shown at the top of the graph. • Ceiling – lowest reported ceiling in the METAR. An Airport Condition Trend bar is shown at the top of the graph. 85
