First In Industry To Receive Type II Letter Of Acceptance
Jeppesen is the first company in the industry to have been
awarded a Type II Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from the FAA for its
Airport Moving Map data.
"This regulatory acceptance of Jeppesen's data processes
demonstrates our commitment to providing data to the flight deck
with the necessary levels of quality and integrity for the intended
functionality in the aviation environment," said Barry McDaniel,
director, Quality and Standards.
To obtain the LOA, Jeppesen complied with the requirements
documented in Advisory Circular 20-153 and has passed audits in
both Denver, CO and Neu-Isenburg, Germany. Jeppesen has been
providing Airport Moving Map data to customers for over five years,
as processed in compliance with the DO-200A/ED-76 standard.
Jeppesen Airport Moving Map data is used as the foundation in a
variety of front panel and electronic flight bag applications.
Jeppesen was granted FAA approval for its Airport Moving Map
application for Class 2 EFB devices in March 2008, and is the first
and only company to have received TSO approval.
Jeppesen Airport Moving Map uses a detailed database to
dynamically render maps of the airport surface, and through the use
of GPS technology, show pilots their position ('own-ship') on the
airport surface. The result is improved positional awareness among
flight crews, which is a critical safety factor for reducing runway
incursions during ground operations at busy commercial airports
with complex runway and taxiway layouts. Jeppesen's Airport Moving
Map data and applications support a variety of customer
airframes.
