Wading through a pile of discarded charts between the bookcase-like stacks of them marked my first day at Jeppesen, back in August 1997. I was on the official tour with another new colleague who would remain a friend—Mike Pound. He went into the communications division, while I joined the Guided Flight Discovery (GFD) editorial team in Aviation Courseware Development (ACD).
ACD was the offspring of Sanderson Films, the aviation training materials provider that became the latter half of Jeppesen-Sanderson, for those who recall the marriage and its hyphenated liaison. My first remit was to write chapters for the GFD Instrument-Commercial Manual, incorporating all of the then-new technology, such as in-panel TSO’d GPS units, such as the BendixKing KLN 94, and the first digital charts, which Jeppesen’s Nav team was busy bringing to life and delivering to electronic flight bags (EFBs).
