Almost every pilot flies with ForeFlight or some sort of Electronic Flight Bag so noone would be shocked. Airlines do a good job staying up with technology.
@@dylanshields4248 Yeah, it looks amazingly useful, I agree. But probably more to GA pilots than commercial airliner pilots that have more resources (and a copilot) at their disposal. :)
Speaking as pilot, this is an absolutely brilliant idea and could save countless lives in real world emergencies in instrument meteorological conditions if all pilots knew about this!!! Austin should get a safety award from the aviation community for this!
Words fail me to convey how impressed I am with this fantastic piece of software Mr Meyer has created. At first, I thought it was just an extension to flight simulators, but I understand _now_ that XAVION is an extension for _aircraft_ , simulated or otherwise. I am thoroughly impressed with how Xavion is written to interoperate with real-world external systems and standard data formats and my jaw just dropped when Mr Meyer demonstrated the big "air speed reveal" when the iPad was removed; aircraft turbulence features; one-touch navigation and of course the real-time continuous auto-glide route feature. I was also fascinated with the description of how turbulence works and how it descends over time possibly creating problems for other aircraft in lower altitudes. I had no idea!! Mr Meyer could quite easily create a whole new market just for this wonderful, green-friendly, safety-conscious flight system. He certainly could teach the big boys a thing or two on UX Design. Well done Mr Meyer!
I love Austin's compassion and excitement when talking about his programming. etc. Love X-Plane! Simmer since '04. And X-plane is number one! Just would like to see no more chaos on the ramps, aprons and taxiways with all the other aircraft and ground equipment. That's the most disappointing thing about X-Plane that is not prevalent in FSX or MSFlight '04.
I love this series (though I wish we could hear you better). It is a priviledge to hear Austin Meyer speak - I love his enthusiasm - and admire his knowledge and skill. (I'm a f/w and rotary pilot)
How timely, I just asked you in another video from several years back if this application interfaces with X11. And well, here's my answer! Awesome stuff!
Xavion's features look incredible. I am particularly impressed by the deadstick 3D approach guidance and the wake turbulence warning which takes the downward motion and the wind into account. I believe airliners already have automatic top of descent and continuous descent slope calculators but seeing this for any type of aircraft is really nice.
Really enjoyed the demonstration. By the way, I went up, as a passenger, in a tandem glider, back in the early 90s. On climb-out, I noticed we didn't have air data, at all, and reported it to the pilot, who terminated the flight, and landed, straight away. We discovered a dirt dobber's nest in the pitot tube. Thanks for sharing this video.
Totally totally awesome!! Can't imagine ever flying again at night/ifr without this. As long as you're not unconscious its like the autoland feature in high end garmin equipped a/c.
Austin: I’m not flying this instrument currency test with my Garmins. I’m flying it with my iPad instead. Instructor thinking in his head: “This oughtta be good!” Instructor at the end of the flight: Soooo.... how do I go about getting this app for myself??
Fantastic...so the program is constantly "connecting" best emergency landing scenarios to the closets airfields as you fly....Folks, Star Trek has finally arrived for G.A.
Michael, as always, very useful and informative video. Wonderful app this Xavion is and Austin has such a frank and fluent way of describing things. Enjoyed it 👍🏼
This Xavion is revolutionary. You should expect calls from the airlines once they get wind of this. And designer software who writes code in the same language you do, which I assume is C++
OMFG, Like this video, share it with everyone you know and buy a lap top just for playing this video on loop for the rest of your life. This thing is just... I'm lost for words, I wanna say amazing but that's an understatement. In the industry where safety is 1st priority if not only this is a game changer. Boeing, airbus, any aircraft manufacturer should integrate Xavion into their cockpits. Or at least have it on the company tablet. I just have no words for saying how amazed I am. Let's just say that my eyes are tearing up with joy.
I seem to remember he had something similar several years ago, then it went away, and now it is back. Great idea. Beats my Foreflight "glide distance" ring. I only wish it was available on Android. I use Foreflight as my EFB but my phone and even my Samsung Tablet is providing backup on different programs. Oh - and I have a Lynx L3 in my Cessna 182. Perrfect!
Would love to see Austin try the Hot Start TBM 900, IMO it's easily the best aircraft addon available right now and it also happens to be a PT-6 powered aircraft with G1000 ;)
It's an amazing add-on, possibly the best GA add-on right now, sheer system depth and that awesome custom G1000😀. Tried the Smoke in cockpit failure last night and neary died 😀
@@xforcepc Hey Mike, do you or Austin know why the aileron roll trim doesn’t work with the Epic E1000-G1000 plane? I bought the plane through X-Plane.org and emailed Eliot with my issue, but he wasn’t very helpful unfortunately. If I press 8 or 0 it will not adjust the roll trim one way or the other, so the plane just continually banks left. I know this isn’t the best place to ask my question, but I’m desperate since I paid $40 for the plane and it doesn’t work. All of the other stock planes work just fine. I’ve tried looking for answers on the X-Plane forum, however one other person besides me has the same issue, but with no solution. Thank you for any help or suggestion. 🙏🏼
Austin, this was an excellent training VID on the Xavion software system! I appreciate you doing this video. I learned more although I have been flying a couple years now with the Xavion in my Cherokee 180. Thank you again. Don/Medina OH. :-). I totally will vouch for this product, it is awesome & accurate if you set up your airplane accordingly to the instructions!
38:50 about using old data. Displaying warnings and disclaimers if using old data is fine, pilots are responsible for using up to date information, but refusing to start the app is probably too much. I think allowing the app to run in reduced mode would probably be better than locking out users. It takes decades for terrain to grow, having terrain warning is better than nothing. You won't fly into terrain using old terrain data. Airports don't move, having deadstick guidance to multiple airports (even if closed and the runway is full of weeds) is much better than blind guessing. Using old IFR procedures wouldn't fly for a normal usage and hit the nerves of your air traffic controllers, but in the event you lose your conventional navigator and/or conventional instruments fail and you call Mayday, there's a good chance the old procedure still works (your local controller would know about the changes) Besides, i've never heard about any system locking out the instruments if the data is outdated, even in airliners. You could also provide an option to update the database live (if internet is available). 4G LTE phones work (intermitently) at low altitude, satellite KA band is currently only affordable for airliners but there's significant improvements coming in the very short term for satellite internet.
This app would have benefited me years ago when my oil temp redlined. Asked the controller for vectors to the nearest airport with repair facilities. He sent me to a rural airport with no facilities.
Will this/Is this avilable for pilots in the UK? Nearly ready to begin my PPL and this is a must have. Absoloutly amazing app, pioneering. An outstanding idea, keep at this, it will save so many lifes in time. I do not even fly yet and I know I wouldn't fly without this.
Have you looked at the BOM from Levil -- combine that with this app and you have a fully redundant electrically isolated system. And it would give you back up pitot/static system.
Lots of great ideas here. Makes you wonder why nobody else has thought of this before. However there is always a “however.” Obviously, the efficacy of Xavion is going to be highly dependent on the particular specifications and load/cargo/modification and performance parameters (for lack of a better description) of the specific aircraft it is employed to function with. How will those characteristics be conveyed, and will the proposed rescue/flight paths be dynamic? In other words, if an initial failure is followed by loss of hundreds of gallons of fuel (and weight), how will the glide paths be adjusted?
How many times have I heard from my ATC Controllers “Caution Wake Turbulence” and only guessed where I might encounter it? This is a must have application!
This is the best most informative video I have ever watched. I look back at what was available to me in my 28 years of flying in the USAF and the airlines and wonder how I survived. Even the Airbus didn't have this capability. My question: do I understand that you no longer offer Avion for flight simulators? I'd be nice to practice using it.

Hello Austin, I have a few questions for you. Up here in Alaska, CFIT is a major cause of GA fatalities. How accurate is the synthetic vision when drawing the terrain? Can it be used to safely (relatively speaking) navigate tight mountain passes in sudden IFR conditions? I'm not a pilot but I do enjoy some Falcon 4. Thank you for your time - I hope you continue to improve your product and that it becomes a trusted, proven, and lifesaving device found in most GA aircraft.
Sorry but another comment-This has got to be the single most advancement in aviation next to the parachute! Yea I should work for you in advertisement.
Ive been asking these questions as a programmer and a new pilot why cant i remember how to push the right knob or press ENT, or roll the knob to get the next letter - very frustrating in the SIMs... takes forever ??? Mistakes ! and why can t you paint a road in the sky ... YOU CAN ! you did it . Very cool. Does it work with Android ?
I really like Xavion and know he is talking at the same time but man that bank angle in imc is a killer. That’s one of the challenges I have in practicing with it. I find the hoops distracting and am trying to come up with a better way of guiding myself down using the tool.
Austin should consider licensing his Xavion code to Dynon - it would give them a unique selling point over Garmin. The guy who runs Dynon is just as enthusiastic about aviation as Austin - they'd make an incomparable match!
Pardon my French, but that is absolutely fucking amazing. Just brilliant. I'm reminded of that Latina Marine pilot in "Aliens": "We are in the pipe, five by five."
This guy is amazing, i'm going to buy a few of his products just to support him, I don't fly but if and or when i do i want his products around for me to use.
This is the coolest wealthy guy I’ve ever seen. Always wondered how the guy behind X-plane looks like. Not what I expected. For some reason always thought quiet, white, very thin guy with giant glasses. Lol
Awesome video, really making a case for Xavion here. Question though, What good is the automatic 3 degree glide slope for your instrument approach when altitudes are always assigned for IFR flying?
I hope you have a patent on this so that when Garmin and other GPS, PFD, MFD companies come to you to see if they can use your idea... uhhh... cha-CHING!!
Great work on this app so far. Here's an Idea for you. It could have an adjustable white arc/bar graph indicator and stall speed marking. Or a dynamic bar which shrinks and expands showing how close one is to real stall speed. Most planes have a fixed marking on the airspeed indicator. This can be misleading. It would seem that many crashes occur by entering an inadvertent spin on turning to final, and similar issues that arise by misunderstanding the relationships which change the stall speed. It can be calculated, but the white arc is often misleading. How about these markings on the app, and having them calculate real values that are dynamic depending on the various flight attitudes and environmental factors which determine the real stall speed? I would love to have a highly visible bar across the top to alert me how close I am to the stall speed. Better still in the middle of the horizon, which is where my view might be in a stressed situation. The bar could disappear when in cruise flight and just reappear when within certain speed parameters close to the stall speed.
jared lanier I hope he makes billions and keeps going with more like this for other emergencies and suggestions. What about tying these to advanced autopilots. Man. We’re getting so close to Star Trek Anyway. Amazing. Hope he banks and X-Plane exclusively features these asap.
X plane 11 started their YT channel so far past and they just have 13.5subscribers while MSFS2020 started their channel just last year and they have 38.8 subscribers hahaha this is so suprisingly
What was the reasoning for turning this from a $100 one time purchase to a monthly subscription? I was interested in this app until I found out the price, and that it may not include charts
Loving Xavion Austin - So how does the app take in consideration the specific type aircraft to lead it to a most likely successful emergency landing scenario - based on that specific aircraft type? For example, a 727 vs King Air 350, vs 172. Is the app just looking at the current live performance parameters (GPS / ADSB) and determining the most probable successful landing option based on that or do you enter the specific aircraft type into the app? Thanks for sharing this at such an affordable price...
Excellent review of Xavion and after seeing this I'm definitely going to get it. I had no idea that you actually had indicated air speed without pitot data.
Hey, very nice app. But when you started talking about it's very cool wake turbulence feature, I realised, that it isn't simulated in XP. It would we very cool, if you would simulate it especially would it be cool, when it would be compatible with Vatsim and with IVAO. I would be very happy if you would think about it and maybe put it in future into XP.
Why isn't this man a celebrity? He's like the Steve Jobs of aviation.
Too true
Except he actually DOES things!
My thinking also!
He is, kind of. But it is a small niche.
and so much less egocentric.
Imagine being a commercial pilot and your engines go out. The look on your first officers face when you pull out an iPad
Fun fact: Airlines have their pilots use emergency procedure check lists on iPads these days...
@@LaggerYT1337 I know, but just imagine xavion is on the ipad

You think this is X-Plane's UA-cam channel? You're something...
@@xforcepc what ever it gonna be u guys have a long way to compete with fs2020,just forget it 😅🤭
@@topaviator you should unsubscribe. Go somewhere else.
@@xforcepc i haven't subscribed yet😅😅 even thore but i'm telling u again u have a long way to go brothers
@@topaviator I have nowhere to go. I'm not X-Plane. Wow, you are thick.
Isn't a 500ft/min descent a little fast for a wake vortex?
Revenge of the nerds
THIS AWESOME !! THANK YOU BOTH !!
What was the reasoning for turning this from a $100 one time purchase to a monthly subscription? I was interested in this app until I found out the price, and that it may not include charts
Thanks father of future general simulator !!!
The "D E L U X E" G1000 .. :-) ... You're a master Austin. Killing me :-)
Well done Austin. Excellent .
Loving Xavion Austin - So how does the app take in consideration the specific type aircraft to lead it to a most likely successful emergency landing scenario - based on that specific aircraft type? For example, a 727 vs King Air 350, vs 172. Is the app just looking at the current live performance parameters (GPS / ADSB) and determining the most probable successful landing option based on that or do you enter the specific aircraft type into the app? Thanks for sharing this at such an affordable price...
you need to enter the craft configuration in the app where you can set the speeds, glide performances, the warnings you want etc...
This could save so many lives..
Excellent review of Xavion and after seeing this I'm definitely going to get it. I had no idea that you actually had indicated air speed without pitot data.
Great stuff. Be awesome if it was connected to the auto pilot
Here is Xavion actually flying an RV-10 with a TruTrak autopilot. ua-cam.com/video/542ZBqXZ_DE/v-deo.html
What if I already pay for Seattle avionics....is it still $10 per month?
ATC and other Pilots after Austin tells over radio he descends to avoid wake turbulence: Are u a wizard
Mind blown! Wow man I’m so impressed
Honestly wish this was available on windows! But absolutely awesome software!!
is it possible to emulate xavion in xplane 11 in vr? that would be awsome
yes
Hey, very nice app. But when you started talking about it's very cool wake turbulence feature, I realised, that it isn't simulated in XP. It would we very cool, if you would simulate it especially would it be cool, when it would be compatible with Vatsim and with IVAO. I would be very happy if you would think about it and maybe put it in future into XP.
when will be the next update of X PLANE Mobile Global update?
