WingX Pro7 Version 6.9 Adds Multiple Features

Includes Advanced SmartTaxi, Search And Rescue Grids, Search Patterns, XGPS170 ADS-B Support

Version 6.9 of WingX Pro7 has been released by Hilton Software of Parkland, FL. The new version includes three significant enhancements including SmartTaxi, Search And Rescue Grids and Search Patterns, and is the first iPad app to support the Dual XGPS170 Bluetooth ADS-B Receiver.

SmartTaxi is a patented technology developed by Hilton Software that was initially introduced several years ago on the WingX Windows Mobile solution. SmartTaxi has been enhanced to take advantage of the iPhone/iPad platform and is now enabled at over 4000 airports. When the aircraft is on or near a runway the entire runway is highlighted in red or yellow respectively on the airport diagram. In addition WingX Pro7 intelligently displays the runway identifiers for takeoff and displays the distance remaining in real-time – this even works when departing from co-located runways.

This additional layer of intelligence was added to prevent accidents similar to the fatal KLEX take-off accident in which the NTSB’s findings indicate: “The implementation of cockpit moving map displays or cockpit runway alerting systems on air carrier aircraft would enhance flight safety by providing pilots with improved positional awareness during surface navigation.”
