Avidyne Corporation, a leading provider of integrated flight deck and
safety systems for general aviation aircraft, and Jeppesen, the leading
global provider of integrated aviation information solutions, announced
that Avidyne’s Entegra Release 9 and Entegra Multi-function Displays
(MFD) customers who have CMax Chart subscriptions can now download a
free version of their same charts subscription for use on an Apple iPad.
“Jeppesen has developed an easy-to-use iPad application, Jeppesen Mobile TC, that allows general aviation pilots to receive all the information from their standard Airway Manual and VFR Manual in an easy-to-use electronic format,” said Thomas Wede, Jeppesen senior vice president and general manager, Aviation. “Now, Avidyne MFD customers with CMax can download an iPad App to view their current chart subscriptions at no additional charge.” “Avidyne and Jeppesen recognize the situational awareness benefits of electronic charts in the cockpit, and a large percentage of our Entegra Flight Deck and EX-Series MFD customers fly with CMax Charts,” said Patrick Herguth, Avidyne’s Chief Operating Officer. |

“We are delighted
to offer our customers this valuable Jeppesen iPad solution that
provides a redundant, safety-enhancing piloting tool.” Jeppesen Mobile
TC is available for free download for the iPad at the Apple App Store.
Charts subscription services are available through Jeppesen. Each paid
subscription includes four ‘seat licenses.’
Typically, a pilot will dedicate one for their panel-mounted MFD,
one for use on their home computer, and one for a laptop, leaving one
which can be used for the iPad.
CMax™ is Avidyne’s
innovative implementation of Jeppesen’s JeppView CMax provides on-demand access to the worldwide library of JeppView electronic charts and airport diagrams and dramatically improves the pilot's ability to manage cumbersome paper charts. CMax reduces the amount of paper required on the flight decks of Avidyne-equipped aircraft. In addition, CMax makes managing and accessing flight critical information more efficient, while eliminating the need for pilots to file traditional revision updates in their Airway Manuals. |
