Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck was used by the FAA to
access aviation data on iPad mini during the
evaluation process.
Positive operational feedback and data
from Air Carrier and Business Aviation operators
was also received and considered.
In the United States, FAR Part 91K, 121, 125,
and 135 fractional, commuter, on-demand
operators and air carriers are required to gain
formal FAA authorization to use EFB solutions in
flight.
Jeppesen will share copies of the letter
to interested customers using iPad mini and
affected Jeppesen Apps, for use in their
authorization package.
“We are pleased with the findings of the FAA
evaluation team confirming the use of iPad mini
and Jeppesen mobile EFB solutions,” said Tim
Huegel, director, Jeppesen Aviation Portfolio
Management. “iPad mini and iPad mini with Retina
display offer pilots the incredible detail and
ease of use they need when leveraging our
valuable data-driven apps and flight information
in the cockpit.
