  • The app boasts extensive geo-referenced charts, robust flight planning capabilities, and high customizability of map and utility screens.
  • WingX Pro maintains strong sales and a competitive edge by consistently innovating and quickly launching new features.

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.
