Jeppesen, a part of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services, recently added new features for Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR on iPad. Enhanced app capabilities include data-driven auto zooming for real-time accuracy and software improvements to drive flight efficiency.
The new auto zooming capability included with Mobile FliteDeck VFR version 1.5 provides pilots with an automatic, optimal view of the current chart scale, through all phases of flight. This ability eliminates the need for the pilot to manually scale the chart or select between terminal and enroute maps, establishing a unique “hands-off” navigation experience. The data-driven nature of Mobile FliteDeck VFR provides a seamless presentation of information, with track-up navigation capabilities and smooth transitions from take-off to landing.
“We continue to build upon our industry-leading infrastructure, combining software and data capabilities to automate all of our mobile cockpit solutions,” said Tim Huegel, director, Jeppesen Aviation Portfolio Management. “Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR provides private pilots with the tools and information needed for an enjoyable flying experience. Building on a number of enhancements introduced this year, we are looking forward to continued expansion of product capabilities in the near future and additional VFR coverage areas abroad.”
Additional enhancements included in Mobile FliteDeck VFR version 1.5 also include download management capabilities and significant performance improvements for iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad mini.
Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR combines the industry’s top navigation information with a crisp, data-driven chart display. From this integrated foundation, METARs, TAFs, TFRs and NOTAMs are accessible amongst airspace warnings and other essential functionality – all of which promote enjoyable VFR flying backed by superior flight data.
Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR is available for a free download and trial phase through the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore/. Full U.S. VFR data coverage is available with a $49 annual Jeppesen data subscription.
