Jeppesen Mobile TC For iPad Cited
The process used to authorize the Jeppesen Mobile TC App for
iPad as an alternative to paper aeronautical charts for a
certificated operator has been noted by the FAA in a recent
Information for Operators (InFO) bulletin. The bulletin provides
guidance for operators interested in gaining FAA authorization of
tablet computing devices for electronic flight bag (EFB) use in
flight.
In the bulletin, the FAA instructs operators that are seeking
EFB authorization for use of tablet computing devices such as iPad
to coordinate with their principal operations inspector and to
follow normal processes defined in the FAA Flight Standards
Information Management System 8900.1 process. The Jeppesen
Mobile TC App authorization is referenced in the bulletin as a
model for achieving this type of authorization with an
operator.
“This FAA bulletin works to define the authorization
process for tablet EFB solutions and cites the Jeppesen Mobile TC
App for iPad as an established example,” said Tim Huegel,
director, Jeppesen Portfolio Management, Aviation. “The
industry precedent set by this process may help others seeking to
deploy EFB solutions on tablet computing devices such as iPad and
we are able to provide guidance to help promote safe and efficient
operations using iPad and the Jeppesen Mobile TC App.”
The authorization process noted by the FAA allows the operator
to use iPad and the Jeppesen Mobile TC App as the sole reference
for electronic charts, even during taxi, takeoff and landing. Since
the original FAA authorization in February, numerous Jeppesen
customers have either received authorization or are in the process
of seeking authorization for Mobile TC on iPad, following the same
process model.
Jeppesen Mobile TC currently displays approach plate charts,
terminal procedures and airport diagrams. Further flight
information capabilities and additional Apps are planned for
introduction in the near future for the general, business,
commercial and military aviation industries.
