WingX Rewind Allows Flight To Be Recorded And Played Back On iOS Devices
Hilton Software has rolled out WingX Rewind – a new ‘blackbox’ technology that enables WingX Pro7 to record and playback flights on iPad. WingX Rewind’s incredibly efficient data engine has the capability to record and playback any number of parameters including GPS, AHRS, pitot/static, and ARINC 429 data. When storing large amounts of flight data, compression is a key ingredient and WingX Rewind masterfully compresses the vast quantities of flight data while providing WingX Pro7 fast and direct access to and playback of any portion of the flight.
For example, a 16GB iPad with all the WingX Pro7 databases loaded including all charts and high-resolution terrain has enough free memory for WingX Rewind to store thousands and thousands of hours of flight time including GPS locations and AHRS (pitch and bank) being updated 10 times per second.
In playback mode, WingX Pro7 behaves as if you were there – the Synthetic Vision, Attitude Indicator, Approach Chart geo-referencing, Split-Screen, SmartTaxi and other views are updated in real-time for the ultimate flight-review realism.
“EFB apps continue to improve at an incredible pace," said Dr. Hilton Goldstein, CEO and founder of Hilton Software. "However, application developers have focused almost entirely on pre-flight and in-flight activities. WingX Pro7 is the first major iPad app to address the post-flight and flight review process. As a Certificated Flight Instructor I am very excited about the flight review and debrief capabilities that WingX Rewind provides to the flight instruction community and I believe WingX Rewind will fundamentally alter the nature of flight instruction.”
WingX Pro7 is available now in the Apple App Store for $74.99. A 30-day trial period is available. WingX Rewind requires a current WingX Pro7 subscription, does not require any additional subscriptions and will be a free upgrade for existing customers. WingX Pro7 with WingX Rewind is expected to be released in August 2014.
