Data Solution For The New Evolution Flight Display System
Jeppesen and Aspen Avionics announced Wednesday at AirVenture
2009 that the companies will partner to incorporate the new Aspen
Avionics Evolution Flight Display system into a full Jeppesen data
solution. Aspen Avionics brings advanced technology and capability
in glass cockpits into general aviation aircraft. Jeppesen is the
industry-leading provider of flight deck information.
Jeppesen will focus on making database maintenance for the new
Aspen Avionics system easy to install and easy to own. An industry
first, the Evolution Flight Display system will utilize an
aggregated NavData, obstacle, terrain and cultural database, which
will be updated via the well-established Jeppesen Services Update
Manager (JSUM) data delivery tool.
“Jeppesen is excited to be onboard this new
ground-breaking generation of EFIS systems,” said Thomas
Wede, Jeppesen senior vice president and general manager, Aviation.
“The Aspen Evolution Flight Display taps into a whole new
market segment. Older general aviation aircraft with analog
instruments now have a more affordable upgrade path to glass than
was previously available to them. Bottom line is that the evolution
displays make flying easier and safer, which is a feature that
Aspen and Jeppesen products have in common,” explained
Wede.
“We are honored to be the first company to have
implemented the Jeppesen integrated database into our
products,” said John Uczekaj, president and CEO of Aspen
Avionics.
“The Jeppesen product line is ubiquitous throughout
aviation and the ability to offer Jeppesen map, obstacle, terrain
and cultural data to our customers will add tremendous value to
their Evolution Flight Display installations,” Uczekaj
continued.
