Voyager 3.0 Pre-installed on Motion Computing LS-800 and
LE-1600 Tablet PCs
Seattle Avionics Software has announced immediate commercial
availability of its new Voyager Flight Software System EFB
(Electronic Flight Bag) bundle.
The Voyager EFB includes the pilot's choice of either a Motion
Computing LS-800 or LE-1600 tablet PC, pre-installed, configured
and tested with all Five Voyager Flight Software System 3.0
modules, an XM WX Bluetooth receiver and antenna, and a Pharos
Bluetooth GPS receiver. The LS-800 version Voyager EFB bundle will
be available at AOPA Expo for the introductory price of $3995, or
the LE-1600 bundle for $4199, both complete with "special edition"
laptop bag to carry it all home in.
"Most pilots tell us
they want to go paperless, sooner rather than later, but are not
interested in sinking tens of thousands of dollars into an
installed avionics stack which may be outdated in only a year or
two", says John Rutter, President of Seattle Avionics Software.
"Over the past 18 months, many of our customers have researched,
picked and purchased the Motion Computing tablets as their
affordable, digital, portable solution for the cockpit. After doing
our own research, we agree with our customers. The Motion Computing
tablets featuring the ViewAnywhere screen is the ideal solution for
pilots looking for an affordable way to always have current digital
charts, approach plates, and weather on their kneeboard."
The new Voyager EFB bundle, being so portable, is especially
ideal for pilots who rent multiple or different aircraft, flying
club members, and pilots with multiple aircraft. The added safety
of always having terrain awareness and in-flight weather is
incredibly valuable, even for pilots with STC approach certified,
in-dash GPS's.
The new Voyager Flight Software System 3.0 is the first and only
integrated flight software system, comprised of individual software
modules that work together to cover all aspects of flying:
pre-flight planning, in-flight situational awareness, IFR procedure
management, and more. Pilots can choose the modules to fit their
needs, which then integrate into one seamless application,
custom-tailored for each individual. Increased functionality can
always be added by downloading and integrating additional modules
separately or in any combination as needs change. Choose from
Voyager's GlassView moving map, SmartPlan Premier flight planner,
SmartPlan Express flight planner, SmartPlates approach plate
manager, and XM Weather, live, in-cockpit, weather.
Seattle Avionics Software has received Motion Computing's
approval and endorsement of both the company and the new Voyager
Flight Software System line of tools as an official Motion
Computing Silver-level ISV and authorized reseller of Motion
Computing's innovative tablet computers. A choice of monthly
subscription options are available directly from XM Satellite
Weather from between $29.99 and $49.99 per month.
The company will be demonstrating both The Voyager Flight
Software System 3.0, and the new Voyager EFB bundle at its AOPA
Expo Booth 1208/1309 in Tampa, FL. Free 10-day full product trial
CD-ROMs will also be offered for visitors there.
