“Building on our family of successful mobile
solutions, Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR is our
latest application that is designed for the
needs of VFR pilots,” said Tim Huegel, director,
Jeppesen Aviation Portfolio Management. “For VFR
operations, we determined that a specific,
powerful and easy to use application needed to
be created to meet the needs of this pilot
segment. Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR is the
outcome of this heavily user-design centric
development process that will simplify the
flying experience for VFR pilots.”
Jeppesen applied its vast experience in the
field of electronic flight bag (EFB) development
to study the cockpit workflow of VFR pilots. The
effort comprised extensive flight trials and
feedback from more than 500 private pilots
globally. The resulting Jeppesen Mobile
FliteDeck VFR is designed to serve to the needs
of the VFR community. It features a simple,
intuitive user interaction design, which reduces
overall pilot interaction and workload.
The full Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR
application will be available through the App
Store on iPad for customers in Germany,
Switzerland, Austria and France this May.
A version of the application is expected
to be introduced for the European and Americas
markets later this year.
