Runway Layout
Being able to view the layout of an airport's runways increases safety. There are four modes:
  • Manual: In this mode, the user can manually rotate the runway layout to any viewing angle. This allows a pilot to answer the question of: "What will the runways look like when I am approaching from the north west?" Use the arrow keys to rotate the runway layout. Pocket PC users can also simply drag their finger/stylus around the screen to rotate the runway layout.
  • North Up: Locks the viewing angle to North Up.
  • Track Up: Sets the viewing angle to the aircraft's current track. GPS is required.
  • To Airport: Sets the viewing angle to the aircraft's current view to the airport. This view is extremely useful when approaching an airport because WingX shows the runway layout as it is viewable out the window. Another use of the "To Airport" is to verify that the aircraft is on final to the correct runway. This is particularly useful when approaching an unfamiliar airport with intersecting runways. GPS is required.
SmartTaxi™
Using NACO Charts and WingX's SmartTaxi™ technology, WingX will display the aircraft's position on the airport diagram and warn the pilot, both visually and audibly, when approaching a runway or on a runway - click here. However, NACO Airport Diagrams only exist for a few hundred airports within the US. By using the Runway Layout display, WingX will display the aircraft's location on the airport as well as provide the runway incursion warning. One disadvantage is that the taxiways are not shown. However, a very advantage is that the runway layout can be set to rotate by using the Track Up mode (as discussed above).
