August 3, 2013 - Jeppesen has entered into an
agreement with Rockwell Collins to automatically
and securely transfer electronic charts via
Wi-Fi and cellular networks using Rockwell
Collins’ Ascend Aircraft Information Manager
(AIM).
As a result of the agreement, operators will
leverage Rockwell Collins AIM technology to
streamline access to Jeppesen flight data,
provided through an enhanced direct connection
to the flight deck of the aircraft.
“This agreement with Jeppesen takes yet another
step out of the data loading and update
process,” said Greg Irmen, vice president and
general manager, Flight Information Solutions,
Cabin and Electromechanical Systems for Rockwell
Collins. “Operators can be assured that their
JeppView content, such as electronic terminal
charts, will automatically be available when
they need them.”
Rockwell Collins’ AIM ensures that Pro Line
Fusion and Pro Line 21 equipped aircraft are
always flying with the latest data. These
aircraft can wirelessly receive Jeppesen
electronic charts, Flight Management System
(FMS) navigation, performance and V-speed
databases and checklist files.
