Biggest issue I have with Jepps at my company is it not listing which call ahead frequencies to use for which part of the FIR I am entering. Being that NavBlue is European, I bet it does a good job of that. Jepps just gives you a list of 30 frequencies to try. The old paper charts listed frequencies to sections.
Not something you guys even need to concern yourself with, but a curiosity on my end.

I never said they were light years ahead of jepps but also the document search is better and it searches all docs.
It’s an EFB. It works. It’s coming. It’s not the huge disaster extremists say it is.

What I would consider exciting is getting PDC and D-ATIS. Something that’s actually very useful and resembles a real airline. Charts+ is neither, unfortunately.
