Universal Avionics' new InSight Integrated Flight Deck will feature Jeppesen’s Airport Mapping Database (AMDB), becoming the first business aviation avionics system to display the Jeppesen maps, the companies announced yesterday at the Aircraft Electronics Association Convention. The AMDB display is made possible by the InSight synthetic vision system, which “uses AMDB data to render accurate, high-resolution airport diagrams,” according to Universal Avionics. “Runways with actual markings, taxiways, parking areas, buildings and other obstructions, surface roads and construction areas are all shown.”
