Fast Route Planning Calculations Using its database of US airport, navaids, fixes, and intersections, WingX will quickly calculate distances, magnetic heading, true course, true heading, and the wind correct angle between fixes. Together with the True Airspeed (TAS), WingX will calculate and display the Estimated Time Enroute (ETE) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for each leg in the route. |
|
Use Downloaded Winds Aloft for Planning Tight integration with the Weather Database allows WingX to use the actual and predicted winds aloft information in its calculations. WingX will use the wind-reporting station closest to each individual flight leg for the most accurate calculation. The user may also manually enter winds aloft information. |
|
Automated VFR/IFR Wind-Optimized Altitudes Using the Weather Database, WingX will calculate the cruise altitude that will minimize flight time. Two options are available to the user; namely: IFR and E/W. By checking the IFR option, the allowable altitude will be thousands; e.g. 4, 000', 5,000', 6,000' etc, otherwise the VFR altitudes are used such as 4,500', 5,500', 6,500', etc. Checking the E/W option limits the available altitudes to East/West-appropriate altitudes. |

Fuel Usage Calculations Fuel usage calculations are critical in pre-flight planning. In fact, fuel exhaustion is a significant cause of accidents. Using Fuel Per Hour (FPH) calculations, each leg's fuel usage is calculated and displayed. |
