Flight data services provider Jeppesen (Booth N5100) has introduced new features for Mobile FliteDeck version 2.7 that enhance situational awareness and provide displays for both IFR and VFR flying conditions. The new features enable pilots to switch between IFR and VFR data on the real-time, data-driven en route map, and to import route information and third-party flight planning data, all compliant with the iOS 9 operating system. Supported third-party apps include AvPlan, FltPlan.com and RocketRoute.

“This new mobile EFB functionality allows pilots to integrate planning data from multiple resources and fly with the data most relevant to current flying conditions,” said Mike Abbott, director Jeppesen navigation and flight deck programs.

These latest upgrades from the Boeing subsidiary join recent enhancements including the ability to create, load, view and save active flight plan data from either the terminal charts view or the en route view.
