A Free Aviation Weather and Internet Communications Portal
Hilton Software LLC has
announced their release of the WingX Browser™ for the Pocket
PC. Adding to its WingX™ for the Pocket PC product,
Hilton Software LLC has combined its experience in .NET technology
with its advanced Internet communication and data compression
algorithms to provide pilots with super-fast weather updates on a
state-wide or nation-wide basis.
Pilots simply choose one or more states to download and within
seconds, they will have instant access to all METARs, TAFs, as well
as winds and temperatures aloft for the selected states. In
addition, WingX Browser graphically displays all-important trend
information.
According to Dr. Hilton
Goldstein, the company CEO: “Weather has the highest
lethality index of all accident causes in the latest AOPA Air
Safety Foundation Nall Report. Hilton Software has always been
about providing pilots with software to make flying safer. Enabling
pilots to obtain accurate real-time and meaningful weather
information is a large step forward in lowering weather-related and
fuel-exhaustion accident rates.”
Obtaining weather information on a desktop computer before
leaving the house is a good first step in pre-flight planning, but
that weather information is often incorrect by the time the pilot
arrives at the airport. Having intelligent weather right on a
handheld Pocket PC running WingX Browser™ is tremendous for
pilots who are not always at their home desktop to get the latest
weather.
WingX Browser™ Auto-Update technology allows pilots to
update their software to the latest version wirelessly at an
airport or even on the airport ramp. WingX Browser™ will even
benefit pilots who have non-wireless Pocket PCs; the weather
information will be stored and displayed when required.
