Adds Instrument Approach Procedure Routing, Wearable Technology, User Documents
Hilton Software has added Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) Routing to its WingX Pro7 application, the company announced Tuesday. IAP Routing enables pilots to select an instrument approach and have WingX Pro7 automatically insert the IAP’s fixes into the route. Pilots using WingX Pro7 can plan a flight using a Departure Procedure (DP), Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR), Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) plus any number of intermediate fixes and airways. WingX Pro7 enables pilots to easily select the initial DP fix, DP and STAR transitions, and IAP Initial Approach Fix (IAF) to provide the exact routing from take-off to landing.
Other significant Version 8 enhancements include Bluetooth support for WingX Pro7 for Pebble watches, User Documents in WingX Pro’s powerful split screen, impressive moving map performance enhancements, and support for additional ADS-B receivers. WingX Pro7 for Pebble (aka “Wearable WingX”) is a free download from the Pebble app store and includes ETEs, ETAs, vibration altitude warnings, a fuel timer, and battery monitors.
“When we look at technology introduction timelines for the major iPad apps, WingX Pro7 brought the following new technologies to pilots first: Track Up, Geo-Referenced Approach Charts, Split Screen, ADS-B Weather and Traffic, Synthetic Vision with AHRS pitch and bank integration, Terrain and Obstacle overlays, GPWS, Airspeed and Pressure Altitude, ARINC 429 integration, FlightShare, and more," said Dr. Hilton Goldstein, founder of Hilton Software. "WingX Pro7 has been the number one Top Grossing Navigation iPad App in the Apple App Store for 3 years and is the winner of Aviation Consumer’s Best iPad of the Year award. WingX Pro7 Version 8 is no exception with two more firsts including IAP Routing and a wearable display and alert system for well under $200.”
