Jeppesen Package Included In Purchase Price

Mooney Airplane Company and Jeppesen have announced a program which will allow buyers of new Mooney Ovation2 GX, Ovation3 and Acclaim airplanes to take delivery of their new aircraft with Jeppesen's NavData services and electronic charts preloaded onto their Garmin G1000 avionics systems.

"Under this program, all of the Jeppesen hardware and software required to set up and maintain current NavData and electronic charts will be included as part of the initial aircraft delivery package," said David Copeland, Mooney vice president of sales and marketing. "The beginning of the NavData and electronic charts subscriptions will coincide with the aircraft delivery date and will provide customers with extensive, up to date navigational and operational data that is tailored to their airplane."

The bundle comes with an Aviator bag to holds the G1000 NavData Starter kit, JeppView digital charts for the Multi-Function Display (MFD), a binder, tabs, and paper enroute charts, according to the Kerrville, TX-based planemaker.

Pilots can order navigational information for a variety of coverage areas, including the full USA, the Central, East, West or combined Central and East or Central and West options. International coverage options include Canada and Alaska, Latin America, South America, Central Europe and Australia. JeppView revisions are also available for France, Germany, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as Central Europe.

"We've worked closely with Mooney to make the Jeppesen bundle easy to order, acquire and use," said Tim Howard, Jeppesen's Strategic Account Manager, Aviation Data Services. "We've tailored a website for Mooney operators to simplify the ordering and updating process and make the integration of the data a seamless operation. We believe that new Mooney owners will not only be impressed with the extent and convenience of the Jeppesen Mooney bundle, but they'll find it a valuable and essential option."

The cost of the initial subscription, software and hardware will be included in the purchase price of the aircraft. Renewals will be automatic unless the customer requests otherwise.

Jeppesen provides information and technology-based information management tool sets essential to navigation and efficient operations management to air, sea and rail operators. The 70-year-old company is a subsidiary of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services, a unit of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
