EasyCockpit vs Xavion

EasyCockpit is a comprehensive aviation navigation tool for mobile devices and has for many years aided pilots by improving their situational awareness when flying in Southern Africa. This GPS moving map software with detailed information will make your flying experience in this part of the African continent a safer one. The high-resolution clear vector map is offering an extensive airfields database including communication and navigation frequencies, runway information, fuel availability, cautionary notes, and sunrise/sunset times. Full airspace information, including special VFR routings and reporting points around congested areas, makes this GPS moving map a must for pilots flying in Southern Africa. Visit our website for details on how to obtain the full version. Comprehensive Mapping data Coverage: South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Swaziland, Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe Flight Planning by selecting waypoints/ abeam waypoints from database or map. Option to insert Airspace Intersection. Option to upload routes from EasyPlan. Layers can be switched on or off. Terrain display FlightLog displays distance to next waypoint, ground speed, desired track, ETE and ETA. Also displays current position in relation to recognized VFR points for accurate reporting. Direct-To function shows the 10 nearest airfields and 10 nearest navaids or other points. Move-To button lets you quickly find a point from the database to check details and view it on the map. HSI needle determines the distance off Track. The RMI needles allow you to choose one or two points to which the needles will point to provide a bearing. The OBI radial or Track-To can be selected to be displayed from any waypoint, navaid or airfield. E6B calculator allows for accurate and speedy calculation of density altitude, true airspeed, windspeed and direction. Airspace, obstacle and Terrain warnings. Fly in Track-Up or North-Up mode. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

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. 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. All USA VFR and IFR charts and plates are included with base subscription.
