Jeppesen introduces avionics data solutions to support leading light sport and experimental aircraft original equipment manufacturer (OEM) providers, including Advanced Flight Systems, Dynon Avionics, Garmin and MGL Avionics. The avionics data offering serves as part of a total Jeppesen light sport and experimental aircraft solution suite for both certified and non-certified aircraft.

For light sport and experimental aircraft avionics systems, Jeppesen provides NavData navigation information, obstacle data and electronic charting, in addition to aviation parts and supplies offered through partner company Aviall. Jeppesen’s partnerships with leading OEM providers assures light sport and experimental aircraft pilots a secure data source for their avionics systems and assists pilots with reducing paper in the cockpit by transitioning to digital information solutions.
“Our experimental aircraft customers are able to customize their avionics data display to their preference, and they expect their data to be accurate, such as airspeed indication. Similarly, they also expect that navigation data presented is accurate and up-to-date,” said Matt Liknaitski, president of MGL Avionics, U.S. “For this reason, MGL Avionics is very excited to be able to offer the ability for our customers to select Jeppesen as a source for their navigation data, to ensure their avionics systems are connected to the best aviation navigation databases onboard.”

Jeppesen provides the only true, consistent worldwide electronic chart coverages, generated from the most extensive navigation database available for light sport and experimental aircraft. Jeppesen navigation data updates are available online, through the Jeppesen Services Update Manager system.

“We are proud to partner with the top avionics manufacturers for the light sport and experimental industry, including Advanced Flight Systems, Dynon Avionics, Garmin and MGL Avionics to provide industry-leading navigation data for this important pilot group,” said Scott Reagan, director, Jeppesen OEM Client Management. “Jeppesen not only provides reliable navigation information, but we also offer state of the art online training programs to introduce the excitement of the light sport and experimental aviation industry to a new generation of innovative aircraft enthusiasts.”
