Dynamic Flight Navigator
The Dynamic Flight Navigator (DFN) is a single screen
that pulls together all the relevant information and shows it
clearly and concisely while providing fast access to additional
information. The DFN displays the relevant frequencies,
morse code, and additional useful information.
WingX uses GPS data to drive the Dynamic Flight
Navigator. GPS is incredibly accurate and allows WingX to
accurately calculate position, bearing and distance to the next
waypoint, cross-track error, and required descent rate to the
destination. WingX supports practically all GPS receivers
including Bluetooth and Compact Flash GPS receivers.
To minimize 'heads down' time and finger tapping, WingX
provides a single button to jump to the Airport Diagram
upon landing. WingX also displays the required descent rate
to the destination.
Weather Text
WingX interprets and color-codes the individual METARs.
By looking at these colors, a pilot can quickly get an idea of
the weather in an area or along a route.
If a route is entered, WingX will display the nearest METAR,
TAF, winds-aloft, and temperature-aloft along the route.
[Premier Edition only]
WingX extracts important pieces of METAR information
and displays them in an easy-to-read color-coded METAR
List.
WingX displays un-encoded winds and temperature aloft
information of nearby winds aloft-reporting stations and
automatically calculates the freezing level.
WingX also graphically displays trend information of
METAR reports over the previous six hours.
