In flight, Xavion constantly imagines engine-failed glides to every runway in gliding range, and then shows you the safest-possible route as a Highway-In-The-Sky to take to an airport in the event of engine failure. This, finally, gives you guidance after an engine failure that is based on energy-management all the way down, where the computer does the glide-planning for you… you just fly through the hoops to the runway. Xavion also has instrument approaches in 3-D for the United States, so you can simply select any approach and then fly through the hoops to fly it!
As well, Xavion tracks other airplanes via ADS-B, and memorizes their location to track their WAKE TURBULENCE, moving the wake turbulence down and with the wind over time, showing the wake turbulence as little spiraling tornados. Finally, an App that tracks and shows you the wake turbulence of other airplanes.
As well, Xavion gets ADS-B weather if you have a portable receiver, and displays it, including the new icing, turbulence, and lightning products. Xavion also gets METARS and winds aloft from the internet if you have a WIFI or cell signal to help you plan before a flight!
Also, Xavion checks your weight and balance, and even estimates your takeoff distance and compares that to the length of the runway that you are about to take off on to warn you if the available runway length from your current location is marginal for a safe take-off.
Also, Xavion estimates time and fuel burn at all different altitudes to any destination, showing you the time and fuel burn required for each altitude enroute, so you can pick the best altitude.
Xavion, and Xavion alone in the sky, gives engine-failure guidance and wake-turbulence avoidance.
All USA VFR and IFR charts and plates are included with base subscription.

Version 3.41
Xavion has always given red-alert terrain and obstacle warnings,
but now we give an advance yellow-alert warning as well, about 200 miles out,
if the HOOPS you are flying are going to intersect terrain or obstacles.
This gives you time to PLAN to enter higher enroute altitude with a yellow-alert,
and gives URGENT notice for maneuvering with a red-alert.

Xavion version 3.36
Updated At: 2024-03-20
Changes: Mar 20, 2024
Version 3.36
Now you can create custom FIXES as well as custom airports!
This is in the left-most NAV SETUP menu.
And remember to run Xavion on the same local network to send your custom fixes and airprots to your other devices!
Xavion version 3.32
Updated At: 2024-02-03
Changes: Feb 3, 2024
Version 3.32
Updated horizon colors "Lake Champlain": Brightness and color of sky and water are based on a winter afternoon at this lake... very natural to fly by.
PREFLIGHT turbulence weather model removed: The European Union wanted some data removed from the free weather stream (so they could charge money for it, apparently?) So... now we have turbulence estimates IN-flight (because we still have American ADsB in flight!) but not PRE-flight (because the European Union suppressed the internet data).
Xavion version 3.31
Updated At: 2024-01-23
Changes: Jan 23, 2024
Version 3.31
New synthetic vision colors, with much more natural presentation of water and sky colors. This is really important for IFR flight if the terrain is to be rendered in an intuitive manner.
As well, recently:
Now with some really interesting performance charts:
In the SET ACF menu, enter the climb and cruise speeds and fuel flows for your airplane.
Then go to PRE-FLIGHT menu, WHERE-TO tab and enter 2 space-separated airports in the little mini-FMS there.
Then go to TRIP TIME / TRIP FUEL menu and see your time vs fuel: This is the time-vs-money question that all airplanes answer.
You'll see what power settings will take what time... and what money (fuel burn!) for each power setting.
Now you can make that time-vs-money trade-off with complete information. This chart considers the wind of course, if you have the internet service to get that data.
Now, you've seen time-vs-money, but what you really SHOULD be asking is, for this trip, in this wind, how do you save BOTH?
The next tab is trip SCORE. The scores is 100 DIVIDED BY the time and fuel burned: The higher the score, the less time and fuel you spend!
Choose the altitude and power setting with the highest SCORE and you'll know you're spending a minimum of time and money to run the flight.
This tells you the most efficient way to operate your airplane, on this trip, in this wind, every time.
Xavion version 3.29
Updated At: 2024-01-18
Changes: Jan 18, 2024
Version 3.29
ENHANCEMENT:
If you have entered your climb cruise performance data, then the new "TRIP PERF" tab shows you the time and fuel you will use for the trip for each power setting you entered.
Now for each power setting, you can see the time and fuel expense for choosing it for the flight! This is based on current winds of course.
A really nice way to see time and money for each power setting.
SMALL UI ADJUSTMENT:
Enroute winds in the pre-flight planner now aim their arrows as you will see them in the PFD in the real airplane:
Pointing straight down is a headwind, pointing straight up is a tailwind!
BUG-FIX:
If you drive Xavion with X-Plane for ground-based training, the altitude data should now come across as well!
Xavion version 3.28
Updated At: 2023-12-16
Changes: Dec 16, 2023
Version 3.28
Bug fix: You can now see all of the other iPads on the local network to exchange aircraft files, or have Xavion be driven by X-Plane, which is useful to practice Xavion.
Bug fix: No intermittent crash when first switching from real-use to being driven by X-Plane.
Xavion version 3.27
Updated At: 2023-12-04
Changes: Dec 4, 2023
Version 3.27
Bug-Fix:
Now you can send the airplanes you made to other iPhones and iPads.
This feature was broken by an Apple security update, but now fixed.
Bug-Fix:
The weight and balance now follows different arms for main and aux fuel tanks,
so we still get proper W/B plots even if they are not at the same longitudinal station.
Xavion version 3.25
Updated At: 2023-11-22
Changes: Nov 22, 2023
Version 3.25
Bug fix: The user interface now shows the altitudes for the climb and cruise performance, so you can fill them in accurately!
Xavion version 3.23
Updated At: 2023-11-15
Changes: Nov 15, 2023
Version 3.23
Previous update internally overhauled the WEATHER code to be more reliable. This update overhauls the HOOP-GENERATION code for performance and stability.
One way you will see this is that the FMS now adds instrument approaches to the end of flight plans. This lets you enter complex flight plans, including long airways sections, with instrument approaches at the end, to really plan all the way to landing.
Bug fix: SID and STAR plates now available... they were not shown in the previous version.
Xavion version 3.19
Updated At: 2023-11-09
Changes: Nov 9, 2023
Version 3.19
Now you can choose your altitude in the FMS per-fix: Hitting a crossing altitude is as easy as: Aiming at the crossing fix.
By looking at it and flying to it.
The instrument approaches keep you as HIGH as possible for safety BEFORE descending to the IAF, and then getting you as LOW as possible for safety to break out!
Dozens of user interface tweaks, almost all to make the UI fit better on more devices.
