At the National Business Aviation Association’s 62nd
Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2009), exhibitors displayed
the latest in aviation technology. Aero-TV took the
opportunity to speak with President and CEO of Jeppesen, Mark Van
Tine, about what’s on the horizon for the company and the
future of paperless flight bags.
Just days before the start of NBAA2009, Jeppesen announced two
significant advancements for their electronic chart
services. Forming a new partnership, Jeppesen and Satcom
Direct will now allow each company to sell a bundled solution to
customers, combining Jeppesen’s JetPlan flight planning
service and Satcom Direct’s FlightDeck Freedom TM cockpit
communications services.
The newly available dual service will provide a one-stop
solution for mutual customers by enhancing efficiency and providing
economic benefits for Business Aviation operators.
In addition, Jeppesen announced that it had received an AC20-148
Reusable Software Component (RSC) acceptance letter from the
Federal Aviation Administration; only the second letter to be
issued by the FAA, the RSC “pre-certifies” a software
component thus eliminating the need to re-certify internal elements
of the component each time it is implemented onto a
system.
The acceptance will greatly reduce overall certification
requirements allowing Jeppesen electronics charts to be quickly and
efficiently integrated with onboard aviation navigation
systems. The achievement marks a significant move towards
Jeppesen’s 2010 technology focus: quick, easy
electronic charts implementation and data driven, real-time
delivery.
