Lufthansa or Jeppesen data into Proline 21 FMS?

[ILblog]

I am just preparing operations of Cessna CJ2+ and in subscription form, for FMS data, they offer Lufthansa or Jeppesen supplied data. Leufthansa data are a little bit cheaper, and I have not foud any clue, where is a difference in quality.

Anyone has an experience?

There should be no difference between the two...its simply a matter of which company compiles the data. I changed from Jeppesens to Lufthansa a year ago, and am about to renew with them this week. The decision was purely down to cost.

Actually, there is a difference in the way in which each system codes un-named way points (usually VOR/DME fixes).

The Jepp language uses the format D275C where 275 is the radial and C is the distance (A=1, B=2, C=3.....Z=26 etc).

The Lufthansa (LIDO) is slightly different ; it uses the format XXX15 where XXX is the navaid identifier (BIG, DIK, TRA etc) and then the DME distance from that aid (n.b BIG 4.5dme and BIG45dme are both named BIG45). :ok:
