Jeppesen have been pretty slow off the mark in terms of GA flight planning software in Australia for a long time. They seem to have no interest in selling any of their packages such as FliteStar etc, which I've found surprising because it appears to be a reasonable package.

Jeppesen in Australia have had their bread buttered for years with the old school chart service and extracting very large fees from organisations such as the RAAF for their JetPlan service.

Seems strange, noting they actually already have the software sitting there. As far as I'm aware you can't buy it anywhere except perhaps by looking up their corporate office in Canberra and calling them.

They installed a new General Manager a year or two ago, so perhaps he'll set a new direction.

Porting FliteStar over to an iPad format [which I'm sure they will soon enough due to the US market] would be quite interesting.
