Jeppesen and Avidyne
have integrated Jeppesen's JeppView Electronic Airway Manual charts
into Avidyne's FlightMax Entegra and FlightMax EX500 avionics
systems, thus greatly reducing the amount of paper required on
board the flight deck of Avidyne-equipped aircraft.
In addition, managing
and accessing flight critical information has become more
efficient. No longer are pilots required to file revision updates
in their traditional Airway Manuals. Rather, Jeppesen will now send
customers a CD every two weeks and the chart data will simply be
uploaded into the Avidyne system. Subscribers may also load
JeppView on a computer in order to display and print charts while
on the ground.
JeppView is the only electronic terminal chart product available
that offers a worldwide library, and geo-referenced approach chart
plan-views and airport diagrams. Geo-referencing, along with GPS
position data, allows the application to generate an aircraft
position spotter for unmatched situational awareness during the
demanding approach and landing phase of flight and while operating
on the airport environment.
Avidyne is the latest major avionics
manufacturer to integrate JeppView charts into their system,
continuing the shift toward integrated electronic flight
information solutions. Strong market demand is driving the shift,
as operators in nearly every segment of aviation move to streamline
information management through digital solutions. Piper, Cirrus,
Lancair, Adam Aircraft and Eclipse Aviation are among the many
airframe manufacturers offering the Avidyne integrated flight
deck.
"We are very excited to be working with Avidyne and adding them
to the growing list of avionics companies that are partnering with
us to unleash the age of the paperless flight deck," said Kevin
Collins, Jeppesen senior vice president, Business and General
Aviation. "In the past two years we have seen a clear shift toward
electronic charts as pilots and regulators become familiar and
comfortable with the new technology."
