electronic, not just photos of the Jepps plates which is all our Jepps EFB is (not iPad).
Thx They're not photos in the sense that when you zoom in to extreme levels, you still have smooth edges, and the detail doesn't fuzz. |

At Alaska we use JeppFD-Pro on the Ipad.. I really like it so far. It can be a bit of pain when it's really bright out and I'm still getting used to it at night. Over all it's a great resource and it sure beats Jepp revisions!!!

At touchdown, ground charts automatically displaying with a GPS position indicator on the map. 4. Able to send a chart or receive a chart from the other pilot. (Captain "send me the approach chart" FO hits "transfer" ... Captain now sees Approach chart) 5. Able to sync displays. What ever one pilot looks at, the other pilot sees the same. 6. Removing ALL vertical text, which Jepp has, so you don't have to rotate screens. 7. Much better approach lights, vertical guidance indicators, and runway information that Jepp doesn't do a good job of, if not at all. 8. Putting all notes, restrictions, etc.etc. in ONE place, not all around the plates and in a series of Jepp "airport overview charts" I could go on all day, but it's time to eat. The Jepp EFB product has a lot of catching up to do. |
Thanks, sounds cool. I had no idea there was that much functionality.
