One iPad app we’ve written about in brief and liked in abundance is Hilton Software’s WingX Pro, designed by eponymous software maven Hilton Goldstein. Like its competitors, WingX Pro is a nav/charting/planning/database/safety utility app that seemingly does all things for all pilots for the slim price of $100 a year.

New to the app is something called synthetic vision. That feature will cost you an extra $100 a year. It has so far been a very popular option, Goldstein told me.
