RADAR, satellite, flight conditions, pilot reports, turbulence, and icing weather images help
a pilot tremendously in understanding the environment in which a flight will be made.
Together with METARs, TAFs, winds and temperatures aloft, weather images paint a
visual picture of the current and forecast conditions. These images can and should make a
significant difference in the pre-flight go/no-go decision-making process.
ingX Weather Images are a significant new addition to WingX 2.0. WingX uses the same graphical
user interface as that used on the NACO Charts page with regards to scrolling and scaling of the
images. Therefore, images may be scrolled simply by dragging a finger across the images and image
Wscaling is achieved by tapping on the “−” and “+” symbols in the bottom left of the image.
