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.

Xavion review
Very promising app but needs a lot of tweaking. Excellent Vertical and Lateral Navigation guidance LNAV VNAV using the hoops. No database for IFR flights outside the USA. Subscribed to the world airport database. Some countries like Greece for example appear with generic data. For example all airports have generic runway lengths of 2500 ft. Lateral guidance using the hoops directs the pilot to the center of the airport and not the runway in use. That affects vertical guidance as well. Guidance in US airports tried was excellent. Obstacle database appears complete in the US. Outside the US for example Greece there is no obstacle database only terrain. When trying to add a new airport the APP crashes and needs reinstallation. It would be nice to be able to add user waypoints in a future version as well.
The EMER button is the best feature of a his app . Awaiting real flight testing. Able to connect with DYNON D1 via WiFi. Could be proven very useful backup tool-in marginal VFR or IFR conditions when engine power is lost or primary instruments fail
Real Pilot
As an X Plane pilot too , I can confirm that is almost the dest helpful tool for a safe flight! Thank you so much!
Navigation?
Well maybe I have not understood correctly. In the beginning I was happy to see a new aviation app but...
The moving map is of very low quality and detail, shows only terrain in gliding distance (!!!), airports are only shown in a short distance from the aircraft, you can only put three waypoints for a route, no custom waypoints (???), and many more, make me wonder first of all why it is in the Navigation category (it is not a navigation app) and second why the price is so high!!! Doesn't even come close to the buyers expectations.
