Learning tool
Wingmate EFB Simulator is a fully functional EFB simulator, designed as a learning and practice tool for student pilots. It is not a certified flight instrument and must not be used as a primary navigation reference.
Features are grouped the way you use them at flight school. Each one shows the lowest plan that includes it; every plan includes everything in the one below.
Lowest plan: Plan Básico+Plan Advance+Plan Pro Real screenshots from app version 1.1 (the app UI is in Spanish).
On the ground, with time: route, weather, nav log, weight and balance, and everything downloaded to fly without signal.
Pick departure and destination, then add fixes, VFR points, navaids or your own waypoints: Wingmate suggests the ones near your route. Send it to the map in one tap and edit it right there.
For every leg: TC, MC, WCA, MH, TAS, GS, ETE, ETA and fuel, using model winds at your altitude and departure time. It marks top of climb and top of descent and suggests the VFR cruising altitude for your course.
Load seats, baggage and fuel, pull the planned burn from your flight plan and check takeoff and landing against your aircraft’s CG envelope.
Decoded METAR and TAF with flight category, density altitude and crosswind per runway. On the map: SIGMET, AIRMET, PIREP and NOTAMs for the CENAMER FIR.
Before takeoff, one tap downloads everything along your route corridor: METAR/TAF, winds aloft, AIP charts, synthetic-vision terrain, NOTAMs and SIGMETs. There is no signal up there; Wingmate does not need it.
In the simulator or as a situational-awareness aid: your position on the aviation map, AIP charts and the glass cockpit. Never as a primary navigation reference.
Your live GPS position on an aviation map: airports, VORs, NDBs and fixes drawn with FAA chart symbols, airways, airspace with its limits and your route in magenta.
The light theme is designed for a cockpit in direct sunlight; automatic mode switches with sunrise and sunset.
Tap an airport to see its METAR/TAF, runways and frequencies. El Salvador AIP charts for MSLP and MSSS are overlaid georeferenced on the map, with your aircraft on top.
Tune a nearby VOR and see radial, DME and bearing to the station, computed from GPS. Shows ADS-B traffic over the internet where there is coverage, and keeps your own points or imports them as GPX.
The full PFD with 3D terrain adapts to iPhone and Android phones. See every instrument in detail in the glass-cockpit section.
Pro plan · synthetic vision
Real 3D terrain with a full PFD, to learn to read a glass cockpit and train your instrument scan. It runs on the device GPS, on its motion sensors (AHRS) or in DEMO mode to practice on the ground.
Pitch ladder, roll scale and a flight path marker (FPM) that shows where the aircraft is actually going.
White, green, yellow and red arcs and your aircraft’s V-speed markers (R, X, Y, G). Shows IAS estimated from the wind, or GS.
10 ft drum, GPS or barometric altitude, QNH setting in hPa or inHg (from the nearest METAR), AGL and a vertical speed indicator (VSI).
Course pointer and CDI from the GPS route in magenta or from VOR1 in green, TO/FROM flag, bearing needle and turn-rate trend.
A CDI strip above the HSI with deviation in dots and cross-track (XTK) or angular error from the course.
Cyan heading and altitude bugs, with altitude alerting as you approach or leave the selected altitude.
Forecast winds-aloft direction and speed, with headwind/tailwind and crosswind components.
Uses the GPS, the device gyros (AHRS) or a DEMO flight over MSSS. With the simulator link, a SIM source too.
3D terrainReal relief with terrain-proximity colours and water.
PFD onlyClassic sky and ground, no terrain: lighter and crisper.
Split screenPFD and moving map side by side, ideal on iPad.
An EFB simulator for learning and situational awareness: not a certified flight instrument or a primary navigation reference.
Learn from every flight: your track, your times and your landings, in your logbook.
Tap REC and Wingmate logs your GPS track and detects block times, takeoffs, landings and touch-and-gos. Relive the flight with replay and its altitude profile, and export the track in open formats.
At home or at school: PC simulator, ground school and the navigation tools you already know.
Fly the simulator and use Wingmate just like in the aircraft: the map, the PFD and the logbook receive position, attitude and traffic from the simulator over Wi-Fi.
Works with
X-Plane is a trademark of Laminar Research; Microsoft Flight Simulator is a trademark of Microsoft; Flight Events is a community project. Wingmate is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
Prepare for the written exam with the official AAC El Salvador question bank: study, practice, review misses and take a mock exam.
Measure courses and distances on the map with the plotter; solve wind, density altitude, TAS, time-speed-distance and fuel with the E6B; and run normal and emergency checklists you can edit.
The map engine and aeronautical data ship inside the app, so the map, its symbols and your GPS position keep working with no coverage. Before you leave, the offline pack stores the weather, charts and terrain for your route.

A fully functional EFB simulator, designed as a learning and practice tool for student pilots. It lets you learn to use an electronic flight bag (moving map, charts, NAVLOG, weight and balance, PFD and logbook) on the ground, at school and with your PC simulator.
Wingmate EFB Simulator is a simulator and a learning tool, not a certified flight instrument or a primary navigation reference. If you choose to take it on board, you do so at your own risk and only as a situational-awareness aid: navigate with the aircraft’s instruments and current charts and AIP. The pilot in command decides whether to use a portable electronic device on board and is solely responsible for the operation.
No. It is an EFB simulator for study, training and practice. It does not replace the aircraft’s primary instruments or current charts and AIP, and it is not an EFB approved by AAC El Salvador, AFAC Mexico or any other authority. The pilot in command is solely responsible for the operation. Read the aviation-use notice (Spanish).
Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play as “Wingmate EFB”.
Aeronautical data from the El Salvador AIP (AAC/CEPA) and the Central America AIP (COCESNA); airports from OurAirports; Central American runway numbers from community data; METAR, TAF and SIGMET from aviationweather.gov (NOAA/NWS); winds aloft from Open-Meteo; terrain from SRTM/GMTED models. It may not reflect the current AIRAC cycle or NOTAMs, so always check official sources.
Yes. The map engine and aeronautical data ship inside the app, and GPS works without cell signal. With the offline flight pack (Advance or Pro) you download METAR/TAF, winds, charts, terrain and NOTAMs for your route before takeoff. ADS-B traffic does need internet.
On the Pro plan, open Más → Simulador de PC. Put the PC and the phone or iPad on the same Wi-Fi network, turn on data output for navigation apps in the simulator (or its link program) and enter the IP Wingmate shows, UDP port 49002. The app includes steps for X-Plane 11/12 and for Microsoft Flight Simulator with Flight Events. It is not a certified simulator (FSTD/BATD) and simulated flights do not count as flight time.
iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. On iPad and tablets you get split screen between the map and synthetic vision.
Every plan includes 7 days free. A payment method on your Apple or Google account is required; if you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription renews automatically on the plan you chose.
Anytime, from your account: on iPhone/iPad go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions; on Android go to Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. You keep access until the end of the paid period.
Básico has the map with aviation data and live GPS, VOR, charts, weather, plotter, E6B, checklists, your own waypoints and Ground School. Advance adds flight planning, NAVLOG PDF, weight and balance, saved plans, route editing on the map, the offline pack and ADS-B traffic. Pro includes everything, plus synthetic vision/PFD with AHRS, HSI and selectors, terrain downloads, split screen, flight recording with logbook and the PC simulator link.
