Jeppesen moves closer to paperless cockpit. Boeing’s Jeppesen unit this summer will roll out Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck, an Apple iPad application with en-route moving map functionality that will further assist operators in implementing a truly paperless cockpit environment.
Last year, Jeppesen introduced its Mobile TC terminal chart application, which turns the iPad into a Class I electronic flight bag, enabling pilots to search and view terminal charts. Executive Jet Management is now using the solution as the sole reference for electronic charts - including during taxi, take-off and landing - on several aircraft types in its fleet. Many other operators are following suit.
Later this year the company plans to launch the Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck, which will include all the terminal charts, embedded document browsing and also an en route moving map. Jeppesen is working with a large number of airlines around the world on iPad-as-EFB implementation projects. (Source:
