New Digital Navigation Solution For Business Aviation
Operators
Jeppesen has taken chart viewing and updating to a new level
with the introduction Tuesday of a new digital charting solution
for the business aviation community – Jeppesen eChart Viewer.
The Web-based digital charting solution provides online chart
access worldwide and includes an auto-update service that
eliminates the need for manual chart updates. The online capability
now allows pilots to print charts on-the-go from any computer and
serves as a valuable pre-flight planning tool. Jeppesen eChart
Viewer also offers enhanced Jeppesen Airway Manual text in HTML
format and provides enhanced IFR and VFR chart viewing and search
capabilities.

Jeppesen introduced the new eChart Viewer service to the
marketplace in coordination with a public signing of a service
agreement today with Avantair, the only publicly traded stand-alone
private aircraft operator, the initial customer of the digital
charting service. Avantair is a U.S.-based provider of fractional
aircraft ownership and flight hour time cards with a fleet of 50+
aircraft. Prior to the service agreement signing, Jeppesen
previously developed a short-term custom digital charting solution
for Avantair, to resolve an immediate operational need. This system
allowed Avantair to securely and seamlessly access updated
electronic terminal charts and other flight information online.
“We are extremely pleased with the Jeppesen digital
charting service that we have instituted at Avantair, especially
considering the rapid timeframe that was in place for developing
and implementing the service for our jet fleet,” said Steven
Santo, Avantair founder and CEO. “We now look forward to a
long-standing partnership with Jeppesen with our eChart Viewer
digital chart information solution in place that works to
streamline operational efficiency and reduce costs
overall.”
The introduction of Jeppesen eChart Viewer helps business
aviation operators transition to the use of digital flight
information instead of paper-based materials on the flight deck,
which increases the speed and organization of information
delivery.
“We are proud to introduce Avantair today as our initial
eChart Viewer customer as they take advantage of the operational
benefits provided by our new digital charting services, said Mark
Van Tine, Jeppesen president and CEO. “Jeppesen eChart Viewer
now provides the business aviation community with a means for
operating digitally and has eliminated the need for manual
updates.”
