December 9, 2010 - Jeppesen introduces an innovative
situational awareness enroute application that features
worldwide, real-time weather service as a new component
of its industry-leading FliteDeck Pro electronic flight
bag (EFB) solution.
Demand for an integrated EFB enroute charting application with global, real-time weather service was identified during the FliteDeck Pro research and design process that was completed in partnership with professional pilots and aviation industry leaders. |

Targeted for Part 121 and Part 135 commercial aircraft operators, the new Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro enroute service features graphical and textual weather display options designed to enhance air safety and to streamline operational efficiency.
The new
EFB enroute application features weather data graphically
overlaid with the route of a carrier?s flight plan.
The intuitive design interface of the enroute application
displays the same weather data when on the ground or in the air.
The new enroute application also supports XM satellite
and Internet connections available through the open design and
simple data integration framework of FliteDeck Pro.
?Jeppesen
today introduces an eagerly anticipated EFB enroute application
that greatly enhances data services offered through our
FliteDeck Pro solution,? said Tim Huegel, director, Jeppesen
Aviation Portfolio Management.
FliteDeck Pro is an EFB solution built by pilots, for
pilots, and our exciting new enroute application with worldwide
weather service is designed to improve situational awareness in
the flight deck and to meet a critical need of our commercial
aviation customers.?
The new enroute EFB application provides customers with increased operational benefit through reduction of pilot workload and learning time needed through the solution?s intuitive design and function. The new application also creates more value for investment committed to in-flight cabin connectivity through access to Jeppesen enroute data and weather information displays, including data from leading weather service provider WxWorx. |
