Electronic Charts Integration Toolkit Now On An Accelerated
Schedule
Jeppesen has received a key acceptance letter from the FAA,
which will allow Jeppesen electronic charts to be integrated
quickly and efficiently with onboard aviation navigation
systems.
The AC20-148 Reusable Software Component (RSC) acceptance letter
is only the second such letter issued by the FAA, and is the first
RSC for a platform-independent navigation component.
Jeppesen’s RSC acceptance allows navigation system developers
to incorporate Jeppesen electronic charts quickly and
efficiently.
An RSC “pre-certifies” a software component,
eliminating the need to re-certify the internal elements of the
component each time it is implemented onto a system. This greatly
reduces the overall certification requirement for systems hosting
Jeppesen charts. The latest version of the Jeppesen Integration
Toolkit includes numerous improvements, including a smaller
footprint and significantly more efficient computer memory
management.
The Jeppesen Integration Toolkit is a complete, embedded
Software Developers Kit (SDK), which reduces integration effort.
When this acceptance letter is coupled with Jeppesen’s
Avionics Integration Professional Services, OEM integration time is
reduced to just months.
“This FAA approval is a significant milestone for Jeppesen
and our avionics equipment manufacturing partners,” said
Thomas Wede, Jeppesen senior vice president and general manager,
Aviation. “It exemplifies our commitment to bringing our
original equipment manufacturing partners to market more quickly
with higher levels of design assurance. With RSC approval,
customers can more easily integrate Jeppesen content into certified
systems, resulting in both time and cost savings for our
partners.”
