Jeppesen today introduces the FliteDeck Pro electronic flight bag (EFB)
application a category-changing solution developed through extensive
operational testing and design coordination with pilots and flight
operations staff in the commercial and military aviation industries.
Jeppesen FliteDeck
Pro innovations were achieved through a partnership with pilots and
aviation industry experts who outlined preferred EFB functionality. The
result of this crew-centered approach to research, design and
development, FliteDeck Pro offers numerous operational advantages over
previous EFB applications, including: An easy-to-adopt, simple navigation system designed with an open framework, allowing for simple integration of software and data across multiple aircraft types and hardware platforms. |

Offers clear guidance on how to handle failure
conditions. Easily managed in-flight chart revisions and
incorporates data from wireless or portable memory stick technology.
"Continental worked with Jeppesen to produce a new
version of EFB software," said Mitch Scott, manager, Navigation and
Charting Flight Operations, Continental Airlines.
"Not one designed by a manufacturer, but designed by an airline,
by the people who fly the aircraft.
Therefore, it's an EFB for pilots, built by pilots." Featuring an innovative, optimized design, the
FliteDeck Pro application is designed for commercial aviation use, while
FliteDeck Military is offered to the global military aviation market. Jeppesen moving map applications that are integrated with FliteDeck include airport moving map (AMM), data distribution management (DDM) and many others. These solutions enhance flight deck capability and continue the pioneering legacy of the first paperless cockpit operations achieved in partnership with Jeppesen. |

"Pilots no longer
have to compromise.
FliteDeck Pro provides an integrated, flight-critical solution that
delivers immediate value and long-term potential," said Thomas Wede,
Jeppesen senior vice president and general manager, Aviation.
"FliteDeck Pro works intuitively and streamlines pilot and
operations staff coordination to provide cost savings as part of a total
information solution." FliteDeck Pro also provides the most overall value for an EFB investment, as it is easier to support and requires less training than previous applications. The introduction of FliteDeck Pro is the result of the collaborative efforts of pilots, Jeppesen product managers, advanced research and human/computer interaction experts. For more than 75 years Jeppesen has made it possible for pilots and their passengers to safely and efficiently reach their destinations. Today this pioneering spirit continues as Jeppesen delivers essential information and optimization solutions to improve the efficiency of air, sea and rail operations around the globe. Jeppesen is a subsidiary of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services, a unit of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. |
