Interesting ... I was just reading about the use of iPads as an EFB on Flight Global today...
Fokker 50 operator tests iPad as electronic flight bag
.. looks like some will be using it for more than just PVT operations.

FTDK, sorry I was meaning just the Jepp Program, unless there is something I do not know it does not have full enroute charts. Other programs have them for Australia as mentioned but not great coverage for any international work that I do. It may be a limited market requiring the international data, but in the end I am more then happy to carry around the pac basin paper charts as well as jepp view. The weight & space is not much of an issue
I have WAC/VTC/VNC on my Ipad (with overlaid IFR enroute waypoints/CTR boundaries/navaids etc etc at the push of a button)

I rang Jepp during the week and for the Ipad its as follows
$250.00 for the initial 12 month subscription including setup disk and $240 for subsequent 12 month amendment services
then Buy IPad and download Jepp Mobile TC from itunes free
They still send the ERC out as a paper amendment

starting out
How right you are --
Operating a Garmin 1000 equipped machine, and inbound to YBCG and told tohold a a point south, Garmin stuff only, and no paper stuff, and no en-route maps, bit embarrassing really, but centre helped out, holding point, inbound track, direction, and timing.
Phew!!
Moral of the story - have your paper stuff close handy.

JeppView
Ok, I know this has been done to death a few times, but I'm still a little confused on the JeppView matter. (Im easily confused at the moment due to recent family addition so I have an excuse!)
Got my Jepp renewall due next couple of weeks, and I'm really over doing the amendments, so am thinking about the JeppView software. For my renewall is it enough to have JeppView software on my latop and then print out hard copies of the plates I'll need, or does the JeppView need to be on hand in the aircraft on a EFB/Tablet?
Also, does JeppView give you just the charts, or does it include the AIP section as well?
Thanks

KP,
Jeppview allows you to print the approach plates you want, to carry in the aeroplane with you. The subscription still includes mailed enroute & terminal charts.
The text pages can be printed BUT there's no way to tell which text pages have changed from one revision to the next, this means one has to check the effective date of each page of the AIP section & print as required. Further, one can only print one text page at a time, not a range of pages. This makes the AIP section too cumbersome to use as a source of hard copy.
Another consideration to be aware of is the Jeppview licence requires the user to be the owner of the aeroplane in which any printed charts are used.
That said, I manage all this by having Jeppview & Oz Runways on my iPad, as well as hard copies of only those approach charts I expect to use. Any charts needed that were not expected I access on the iPad, figuring that the chances of an iPad crash AND the need of an unexpected chart at the same time is too remote, sort of like wanting a spare wing incase one falls off.
I was speaking with Jeppview Tech Support in the US earlier this week and was told that the iPad version of the text pages will be available by March or April this year, and in the second half of this year, moving map display using the iPad's GPS will be available.

For what it is worth, I have moved away from carrying the full set of paper charts, so I:
1) Have JeppView/FliteDeck on a tablet computer (Motion Computing LS800) on the yolk. This does include the full AIP, though not necessarily in an easily accessible way for all components - eg the text stuff, enroute and terminal charts. The tablet is connected to a power source but has a 4 hr life on battery anyway. I will shortly replace this tablet with the new MC CL900 which is being released to compete with the iPad (but will undoubtedly be superior!)
2) I carry a second MC LS800 with a 2hr battery and JeppView/FliteDeck in my nav bag.
3) I print out the Approach Plates etc that I expect to require for a particular flight and stick them under my flightplan on the clipboard - just in case.
4) I subscribe to paper Jepp enroute and terminal charts only ($120 pa) cause they are not much to carry around and amendments are chuck away the old ones and keep the new ones. They are easy to use and handy to have if ATC spring something on you - and they take up very little room in the flightbag.
5) I have OzRunways on my iPhone - gives me AIP and DAPS if I really need them.
All the above dependent on the fact that I fly aeroplanes with G430W and above as minimum equipment.

What is the name of this app?
I have WAC/VTC/VNC on my Ipad (with overlaid IFR enroute waypoints/CTR boundaries/navaids etc etc at the push of a button) - all zoomable and searchable and utterly awesome...and geo-referenced via the internal GPS or an external 36 channel bluetooth GPS...can draw magenta lines/flight plan with gay abandon and it calculates tracks/distances/ETAs etc
Air Navigation Pro
Have been running it since Xmas with Airservices maps. Pretty happy with it.
Usual issues with iPad though. Direct sunlight and overheating get annoying at times. But very handy for weather / ersa etc as well as has been mentioned.
One question though, if i get ramped and asked for maps and ersa, is it going to cut it? not sure if ive theres a definitive answer to that.
Cheers BE

G'day Forkie, could you elaborate a little on
I swapped from paper to Jeppview last year and receive enroute charts, terminal charts, and the enroute section via snail mail, still.
Not according to Jeppesen Australia!

Updates??
I noticed earlier that someone mentioned an udate coming in march/April to the iPad jepp app. So far no sign of it!!! As much as I understand the need for proper testing I really wish Jepps would give us some add ons. I really love the package. But given the iPads potential this program really could be so much more. Being able to view the aip and ersa section, in addition to ercs and tacs, not to mention a gps add on would really make this app shaweweeet!!!!
Anyone got any updated info on the next version release??....if there is one??

Jeppesen FD vs Jeppesen TC
Putting aside the debate about whether or not they are approved, and assuming we continue to carry our paper charts still...
What's the verdict on which app to go for? From iTunes it's difficult to tell the difference.
Thanks
What's the verdict on which app to go for? From iTunes it's difficult to tell the difference.
- Do they both incorporate the entire text manual (atc, terminal, etc.)?
- Does either have a moving map display yet?
Thanks
the FD app does ahve the text manual. It is virtually impossible to navigate though. basially everything is one gian pdf document. There's no bookmarks or index allowing you to quickly navigate the text section. That really needs looking at by jeppesen however I was informed by them directly that it's not really on the cards to change the manual text format.
