Jeppesen Completes iPad 2 Rapid Decompression Test
Rapid decompression test proves the integrity of iPad 2 in the unlikely event of sudden cabin pressure loss
Englewood, Colo. | 17 Mar 2011 | By Jeppesen
Jeppesen today announces it has completed a successful rapid decompression test of iPad 2. The successful test was completed to an altitude of 51,000 feet, proving the integrity of iPad 2 in the unlikely event of sudden cabin pressure loss.
Last year, Jeppesen completed a similar test of a representative iPad as part of a successful program to obtain initial FAA authorization for the Jeppesen Mobile TC charting App. Because of structural changes in iPad 2, Jeppesen determined that a new test was warranted. No anomalies were detected during either iPad testing period.
The Jeppesen Mobile TC App is available from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore/ at no additional charge for Jeppesen electronic navigation charting subscribers.
