Owners Control the Map with FlightPath3D’s BizAvStudio

To make modifying the content of in-flight moving maps simpler, FlightPath3D has released BizAvStudio, a configuration tool that provides full control over map details for OEMs, aircraft owners, completion centers, and flight operations.

Operators of the more than 1,500 business aircraft flying with FlightPath3D’s moving map can now configure their maps as necessary, including modifying “branding, welcome screens, passenger information displays, map styling, and geopolitical settings without requiring software updates, engineering support, or vendor intervention,” according to FlightPath3D. BizAvStudio also helps installers deliver an aircraft with the map fully configured.

New Textron Aviation Citations carry the FlightPath3D maps, and Gogo’s Vision in-flight entertainment system uses FlightPath3D’s moving map, as do those from Astronics, Cabin Management Systems, and DPI.

“BizAvStudio is not a feature; it is a new operational model,” said FlightPath3D president Duncan Jackson. “Configuration is no longer something that happens once at delivery. It’s something operators own for the life of the aircraft.”

“Owners and operators already control every element of the private jet cabin experience, from interior design to catering to connectivity,” said Howie Lewis, v-p of business aviation for FlightPath3D. “The in-flight map was the last piece they couldn’t touch. That’s no longer the case.”
