Version 5.2 of the FliteDeck Pro electronic flight bag (EFB) app that Jeppesen developed for commercial aviation has adopted some features originally released in the ForeFlight Mobile EFB, notably the depiction of notams in a graphical format. The two companies are part of the newly formed Jeppesen ForeFlight, which came about when investment firm Thoma Bravo acquired digital assets from Boeing last November.

The new FliteDeck version includes auto selection of SIDs and STARs, new weather layers, depiction of GPS jamming and spoofing areas, the Journey Log, a fuel adjustments display, and cost index improvements. Another new feature for FliteDeck Pro mimics something that its sister app ForeFlight and others have been doing for a long time: providing a “what’s new” view when new features are added.
