information at a pilot's fingertips," as the
Annapolis, Md.-based company put it.
Jeppesen
Jeppesen released an updated version of Mobile FliteDeck with V2.1
bringing several significant improvements to the already well-accepted program - including display of
own-ship position on geo-referenced
approach charts.
For professional crew, the company unveiled its efforts on a new
FliteDeck Pro for the Windows 8/
Windows RT and Windows 8/Pro running on the company's Surface 2
tablets - not Android. That move has
already yielded an order to equip the
more than 11,000 air crew flying for
Delta Air Lines.
Jeppesen has added automatic display of airport taxi diagrams, not only
after using an approach chart but also
from a STAR procedure or en route
maps, saving pilots the trouble.
Jeppesen expanded the ways to
look at weather by adding another
new weather feature, Nexrad radar.
Other new features add inputs for
multiple alternate airports in the planning function and the ability to save
flights.
Rockwell Collins
Rockwell Collins further enhanced
its Ascend app for the iPad with the
Ascend Flight Manager - according
to the company, the only flight operations application to integrate FOS
scheduling software, international trip
documents, weather and airport directory information onto an iPad. The
goals for the enhancement is to enable
full paperless operations, reduce crew
workload and enhance efficiency.
To those ends, the Ascend Flight
Manager app provides for performance-based fight planning as well as

dynamic flight tracking for Regional
Trip Support subscribers, and it's
already available at the Apple App
Store.
Universal Avionics Systems Corp.
