Executive Jet Management (EJM) has received FAA approval to use Jeppesen’s Mobile TC App Version 1.2 for the iPad2 as an alternative to paper aeronautical charts following a three-month demonstration program that covered 55 pilots flying 10 different aircraft over 250 flight segments. Jeppesen reported that the pilots were pleased with the app’s ease of use, simplicity, speed and display clarity.
Jeppesen also announced last month that Express JeppView digital terminal charts and procedures for Part 91 operators would be available through the Mobile TC App for current subscribers at no extra charge and that it had tested the new iPad 2 in a rapid decompression from 51,000 feet to simulate the forces of sudden cabin pressure loss. It conducted a similar test on the original iPad; however, significant structural changes merited a new test for the iPad 2, the company said.
