All Versions of Xavion

3.43

May 21, 2024

Bug-fix: The glide-range was showing a possible distance when taxiing: Now corrected.
More

3.42

May 20, 2024

Slightly-better altitude control for instrument approaches: If you have many enroute fixes, Xavion will: 1: take you to the enroute altitude for that you enter into the FMS for each fix enroute, 2: take you to the enroute altitude for that you enter into the FMS for your destination airport, 3: delay descent for the instrument approach as long as possible to stay high as long as possible, 4: for each fix ON the instrument approach, descend you as quickly as possible to get into VMC. Small UI tweaks to not hide any data behind the notch on phones, and some Apple permission tweaks.

3.41

April 12, 2024

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.
More

3.40

April 10, 2024

More responsive FMS: We now get a quicker response, even on older pads and phones. Slightly more conservative braking requirements after touch-down for all runways, since you will not have all your weight on the gear at the start of braking. Hoops smoothed out a bit more with gentler bank-in and bank-out to allow more gradual pitching and rolling in flight.
More

3.39

April 8, 2024

Small UI and hoop geometry tweaks. Small internal RAM optimizations. The emergency hoops now set you up with a bit more touch-down room than before to allow more gentle braking on touch-down, if the runway length allows it.
More

3.38

April 3, 2024

Updated hoop profiles: The INSTRUMENT approaches now have refined altitudes to help fly your altitudes on the approaches a bit more accurately. The EMERGENCY approaches now give you more room for braking on the longer runways by bringing you down a little sooner, when runway length permits.
More

3.37

April 2, 2024

Various user-interface tweaks: When you select an approach in the FMS, you can change the altitude, fixes enroute, etc, without having to re-select the approach for the new route. You can drag the mouse and the FMS waypoints more easily in the FMS page, dragging anywhere on the screen. The hoops are slightly re-sized and re-spaced to be as easy as possible to fly. The traffic icons are have a darker background so the numeric data on them really shows up.
More

3.36

March 20, 2024

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!
More

3.35

March 13, 2024

New FMS detail: The map is now drawn on the FMS screen... see your plan updating as quick as you can type in fixes!
More

3.34

March 5, 2024

You may notice that the emergency hoops start a little ways farther in FRONT OF YOU NOW, especially if you cruise well above you nominal gliding speed. This is intentional! Now, the FIRST hoop is plotted the END of your deceleration from cruise speed to nominal glide speed. This deceleration gives you a few moments to run engine-out checklists as you approach the gliding hoops, without having to climb, turn, or descend at the same time. A bunch of UI tweaks based on user feedback: ADSb receiver vertical input smoothed for smoother updating of altitude and vertical speed. We now show the pre-flight weather even if you only enter a destination, not departure airport as well! In the event you only enter a destination airport, not departure airport, then Xavion will just use your CURRENT location as your departure. Now we have the glide ranges showing on the sectional and low and high enroute maps, not just the default Xavion terrain-map. Now we have larger arrows showing the direction of other traffic on the traffic map. Now the AOA indicator now does not turn red until you get close to the stall... it was turning red too early on the previous build. Downwind take-off and landing warnings only happen now if you are actually on or over a runway!

Price History of Xavion

Description of Xavion

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.

Reviews of Xavion

  • Stick with ForeFlight

    I paid $100 to purchase this app only to have it switch to a subscription model just a few months into using. No refund. No apologies. Greedy is an understatement to describe the developer Austin Meyer.

    I just saw someone use this app again and it is laughingly useless and obsolete now. For a subscription based model better stick with a larger company with established values and full features such as ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot.
  • Excellent and wonderful support

    I recently flew from Houston to Salt Lake City. I ran Xavion alongside the IflyGPS app and really found its features to be very useful. The NEXRAD weather data was actually more accurate and easily visible than that on my G1000 and the IflyGPS. The VFR approach highway in the sky is vey helpful when flying into small mountain airports. I have also found austin to be very responsive and helpful when questions arise. I highly recommend this app.

  • update size

    Why is it that every other app I use updates with reasonably small data downloads, and yet this one requires 3.6 GIGABYTES ?? (the entire app)
