Jepp Charts on Your IPad
So the gps update has been out a while. I like the moving map functionality. The geo referenced airport charts are a godsend when going into larger ports like MML.
They still need to fix a few things. Having a little box for every class of airspace is stupid. Just show me the lowest level of control area (maybe class e seperately). Barreling into a terminal area can get mighty confusing when you are trying to read 4 different boxes with cta levels in them.
No gps derived data, speeds/stimates etc. no way to store plans.
Long way to go.

Professional Operators,
Be aware that regardless of the legality (perceived or otherwise) of electronic charts (NOT an EFB as they are not linked to an FMS or similar apparently and that's a whole different set of rules) your company's ops manual may require the carriage of paper charts and that will take precedence.

Does anyone know of any intention by any company to produce similar software for Android??
Can't stand Apple.

I did read somewhere I believe, that the Jeppesen app will be available for Android platform from next year?

Hi,
How did you install the text manual?
I go to settings > updates > manuals > and the page says "select available manuals", but there aren't any to choose from.
Has anybody had and fixed a similar problem?

How did you install the text manual?
Settings > Updates > Manuals > brings me to an option of selecting my desired combination of:
- Jeppesen Airway Manual - General (06/10/2011)
- Jeppesen Airway Manual - Middle East (06/10/2011)
- Jeppesen Airway Manual - Pacific (06/10/2011)
Thanks for the feedback all!
Rebooted and tried again, and it is working now.
For anyone else, like others, I can recommend JeppFD. Not the greatest App on the iPad, and not the prettiest either, but it's very user friendly. Works well, and it sure beats the paper charts!! (that we all still carry, of course)

Yeah.....and now they want to send some consultant around to see me.
Should be interesting.
Maybe the OzRunways boys will be offering free subscriptions for life if I give them a good reason to ratify their product as being a legal full time replacement for paper.

Do any of you chaps using JeppFD know how to specify a VOR waypoint in a route instead of the NDBs it seems to default to? E.g., when inputing a route as AD TBD Y12 ARBEY ML it won't accept the route code Y12 because it is inserting TBD NDB instead of TBD VOR and it is the VOR, not the NDB which is part of route Y12.

Aerocat,
Ive just tried to replicate your route on my JeppFD with the same result, it wont link up the route. short of entering every single waypoint enroute the airway im not sure of a solution either. but yes i did have the same issue on my version as well.

If you put the route in using the waypoints and zoom right in you can see that it's going via TBD NDB instead of the VOR (there is some distance between them) and the NDB is not part of the airway. You can get around it by putting the next waypoint in and then the airway, AD TBD HINDY Y12 ARBEY ML, but it should have the ability to select from the VOR or NDB for any navaid like that. Another route that doesn't work is ML DOSEL Y59 SY. It won't accept DOSEL as the start of Y59. That must be a database issue though as DOSEL is not ambiguous. They've got a way to go with it. Being able to save routes seems like a no-brainer.

I've had some email correspondence with Jeppesen WRT the route issues, and NDBs being used instead of VORs. Their last response to me on the issue, was:

Good afternoon Capt Claret,
Your service request has been escalated to my attention. I understand that you’ve been having some problems with various routes not being accepted in the Mobile FliteDeck application. It appears that most of the routes in your example include a VOR entry/exit point that shares the same ID as a nearby NDB (e.g. GV, CS, AS, AYE). This is causing the problem, because the application will sometimes default to the NDB if it is nearer to the direct route. However, since the NDB is not the entry/exit point to the airway, the route fails. This is a known issue that our Development group is aware of and are working to address in a future update to the application. I apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing.
Best Regards,
Xxxxx Yyyyy

Thanks Claret, I did the online chat thing with a customer service dude last night and they were unaware of the problem. I guess I'll get a similar email to yours soon.
