IntroductionUpdate and Deployment Considerations

Hardware Supported

Although Mobile FliteDeck is supported on all iPads except first generation iPads, older devices that run on 32-bit technology, such as 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation iPads, might experience slower than expected performance. The iPad Air and iPad Mini 2, and later, are recommended devices.

Jeppesen has tested Mobile FliteDeck 2.7.1 for compatibility with the following iOS devices:

Update and Deployment Considerations

Initial Download and Data Updates

Mobile FliteDeck is released through available Apple distribution models. Only one version of the app can be downloaded to the iPad at a time.

The Mobile FliteDeck app and data, including subsequent data updates, requires 2 to 6 GB of available storagecapacity on your iPad. The variability in the storage capacity requirement is related to the size of your Terminal Charts coverage area.

Updating from Mobile FliteDeck Version 2.6

There are special considerations associated with updating from Mobile FliteDeck version 2.6.

• The update process requires that you redownload enroute and cultural data, as well as any selected manuals. The time necessary to download and perform the enroute data update depends on the speed of the Internet connection and the size of your coverage area.

Ensure that you have the necessary time and bandwidth to complete the update before you begin the update procedure.

• After you download Mobile FliteDeck 2.7, you might need to go to Profile settings and verify that Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. is a trusted developer on your iPad. See Verifying That the App is from a Trusted Developer for instructions.

NOTE Updating from Mobile FliteDeck 2.1 to Mobile FliteDeck 2.7 is not supported. You must perform a clean install to migrate from version 2.1 to version 2.7.

What is Preserved When Updating

When you update Mobile FliteDeck from one version of the app to another, the following information is preserved:

• Customized JeppFD global settings, including registration and account information

• Saved flights

• User waypoints


4


Verifying That the App is from a Trusted Developer

After you download Mobile FliteDeck 2.7, you might be required to access iPad Profile settings and verify that Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. is a trusted developer on your iPad. To do so:

1. Tap the iPad Settings icon.

2. Tap General.

3. Tap Profile.

4. Tap the Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. flyout.

5. Tap Trust Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc.

6. Tap Trust to confirm.

Automatic App Updates

Beginning with iOS 7, Apple offers an automatic update feature for apps. When your iPad is fully charged and connected to the Internet, it downloads and installs free app updates without requiring any interaction from you. This feature might not always be desirable.

Preventing Automatic App Updates

To prevent the automatic download of the Mobile FliteDeck app update so that it doesn't occur at an inopportune time, you can disable background app updates.

To disable background app updates:

1. Go to Settings > App and iTunes Store.

2. Under Automatic Downloads, switch Apps to OFF.

IntroductionConnectivity Considerations

Connectivity Considerations

On the Ground

iPads have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technologies built-in. Wi-Fi enables an internet connection, and Bluetooth enables a connection to nearby devices. If an iPad is enabled for cellular service, the iPad can connect anywhere that the cellular service is available.

Mobile FliteDeck requires a reliable Wi-Fi or cellular Internet connection to download updates. When sharing flight information between two iPads running Mobile FliteDeck, the Bluetooth connection is used.

In the Air

All models of iPads that are 3rd generation or newer have built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The internal iPad GPS receiver uses Wi-Fi signals and nearby cellular towers to triangulate position so that your iPad can quickly find position.

Although the iPad GPS receiver works well and provides good GPS accuracy, it might not be reliable in all flight decks while airborne. You can use an external GPS device to work with your iPad as a backup.

What’s New Mobile FliteDeck 2.7

•

Display of a VFR Enroute Theme

Mobile FliteDeck 2.7 introduces a VFR enroute theme. You work in the VFR theme in the same way that you are accustomed to working in the High IFR and Low IFR themes.

You create a new flight, search for, filter, view enroute objects and switch between map orientations (North Up or Track Up) in the same way.


8


Mobile FliteDeck enroute themes are:

• High IFR: provides aeronautical information for enroute instrument navigation facilitating operations generally above FL180.

• Low IFR: provides aeronautical information for enroute instrument navigation facilitating operations generally below FL180.

• VFR: provides aeronautical information for conducting flight under visual conditions in the United States and parts of Europe. See VFR Aeronautical Data Coverage Areas for more information.

NOTE To display the VFR enroute theme, ensure that Display VFR Theme is set to ON in JeppFD global settings.

Switch Between Enroute Themes

As in previous versions of Mobile FliteDeck, to switch between enroute themes, from the Enroute view:

1. Tap the Enroute Theme button.

2. Tap your preferred enroute theme.

When you switch between enroute themes and a route object is not included in the theme that you switch to, Mobile FliteDeck displays that object as a standard waypoint on the enroute map.

For example, if you add a VFR checkpoint to your route from the VFR enroute theme, and then switch to the Low IFR enroute theme, Mobile FliteDeck displays the checkpoint with a standard waypoint symbol. When you switch back to the VFR enroute theme, Mobile FliteDeck displays the VFR checkpoint symbol and label.


9


VFR Aeronautical Data Coverage Areas

As of this release date, the following countries include VFR aeronautical data represented in the VFR enroute theme.

VFR data coverage areas are subject to change.

NOTE To view details about an obstacle displayed with the Cultural Information button, zoom in on the obstacle, and touch, hold, and release the obstacle symbol.


11


Filtering of Enroute Map Objects

Default Filtering of Map Objects

As in previous versions of Mobile FliteDeck, depending on your zoom level and selected enroute theme, certain map objects are automatically filtered to declutter your enroute map view.

NOTE Mobile FliteDeck displays any object that is a part of your route on the map regardless of the object’s show/hide status, the enroute theme, or zoom level.

The following table defines the default settings for the display of enroute map objects at specific zoom levels and enroute themes, including the new VFR theme.

NOTE Airports, waypoints, and navaids show on the map at all zoom levels when Show at All Scales is switched ON for the respective object. See Show at All Scales - Airports, Waypoints, and Navaids for more information.

Enroute Map Object High IFR Low IFR VFR

Airports 160 nm/in 80 nm/in 80 nm/in

To further filter your enroute map view:

1. Tap the Filters Menu button (<) to expand the menu.

The filters menu opens to the Airports menu by default.

2. Tap the button that corresponds to the object type that you want to filter.

3. Make any changes to filter the display of that object.

NOTE If the display of the object is not showing on the map that the Filters menu is related to, tap the object button to show the filtered object on the map.

4. Tap away from the expanded menu or tap the Filters Menu button (>) to collapse the menu.


14


Enroute Object Button States

Mobile FliteDeck displays four different object button states:

• An amber cue indicates that a filter is applied to the object.

• Highlighted buttons indicate that the object is showing on the map.

• Gray buttons indicate that the object is available but not showing on the map.

• Dark gray buttons indicate that the object is not available at the current zoom level or from the selected enroute theme.

NOTE When you tap a map object button for an object that is not visible at the current zoom scale or enroute theme, the filters menu is still available for that object type.


15


Enroute Object Filters

The filters available for each enroute map object are as follows:

• Airports: You can set a minimum runway length for airports that appear on the map. See Filter Airports by Runway Length for more information.

You can also customize your view to show airports at all zoom scales. See Show at All Scales - Airports, Waypoints, and Navaids for more information.

In the VFR theme, you can specify whether to show or hide heliports, seaports, and private airports.

• Airways: No additional filters are available for airways in either of the IFR themes.

In the VFR theme, you can show or hide low-altitude airways and other routes. Other routes include VFR routes and military training routes.

• Waypoints: You can show waypoints at all zoom scales. See Show at All Scales - Airports, Waypoints, and Navaids for more information.

You can also specify whether to show or hide only oceanic entries or exit points in the IFR themes. See Show Only Oceanic Entry and Exit Points for more information. In the VFR theme, you can show waypoints at all zoom scales. Additionally, you can show or hide low altitude waypoints, VFR checkpoints, and VFR waypoints.

• Navaids: You can customize your view in IFR and VFR themes to show navaids at all zoom scales. See Show at All Scales - Airports, Waypoints, and Navaids for more information.

• Airspace: You can customize the airspace display to show or hide controlled airspace, ATC sectors, restricted airspace, prohibited airspace, warning and danger areas,


16


and other. The Other category includes ADIZ, alert areas, equipment boundaries, MOAs, QNE/QNH boundaries, and training areas.

• Terrain: No additional filters are available for terrain.

• Cultural Information: The cultural information button is available from the VFR theme. You can customize cultural information to show or hide city names, city patterns, high tension lines, obstacles, railroads, and roads.

Show at All Scales - Airports, Waypoints, and Navaids

In less dense parts of the world, you might need to view airports, waypoints, and navaids at a larger map scale so that you can view this data within the context of your route and other information on the map.

The Show at All Scales filter enables you view these objects at all scales, regardless of your zoom level. To view airports, waypoints, and navaids at all scales:


2. For each of the following objects that you want to view at all scales, tap its corresponding button:

• Airports

NOTE The Filters menu opens to the Airports menu by default. Tapping the Airports button with the filter menu open to the Airports menu, shows and hides Airports on the enroute map.

• Waypoints

• Navaids

3. Switch Show At All Scales to ON.

4. If the object is currently not showing on the map, tap the object button to show the filtered object on the map.



17


Filter Airports by Runway Length

You can filter airports by runway length to limit airports that appear on the enroute map. To filter airports by runway length:


NOTE The filters menu opens to the Airports menu by default.

2. Tap the Minimum Rwy Length value and select the desired runway length.


NOTE You can apply both the Show Airports at All Scales option and the Minimum Runway Length filter at the same time. This combined selection results in all airports with runways equal to or greater than the selected length showing at all scales.

Show Only Oceanic Entry and Exit Points

Displaying only oceanic entry and exit points can also be useful in certain areas of the world.

To show only oceanic entry and exit points:

1. From either the High IFR or Low IFR enroute theme, tap the Filters Menu button (<) to expand the menu.

2. Tap the Waypoints button to access the filter.

3. Switch Show Only Oceanic Entry/Exit to ON.



18


Improved User Waypoint Interaction

As with previous versions of Mobile FliteDeck, you can create and edit user waypoints from inside the Flight Info drawer or by interacting with the enroute map.

NOTE User waypoints that are a part of a route can be shared between iPads and are available in all enroute themes and zoom scales.

When you create user waypoints by interacting with the map, you can also name the waypoint and add comments to the waypoint.

Types of User Waypoints

Any user waypoint that is named, or created from the map and not added to a route, is considered permanent.

Permanent user waypoints must be individually deleted in order to eliminate them from the enroute map. Removing a permanent user waypoint from the route or clearing the route when creating a new flight does not delete a permanent user waypoint.

Any user waypoint that is part of an imported route, or created from the map without a name, is considered temporary.

Temporary user waypoints are removed when the waypoint is removed from the route or when the route is cleared when you create a new flight.


19


The following list provides some common examples of the types of user waypoints that you can create:

• Latitude/Longitude User Waypoints—You can add these waypoints to your route to view a point in space for a single instance of a route.

When you add this type of waypoint to your route, it is considered temporary and is removed when the route is cleared or when you remove it manually. For more information, see Remove a User Waypoint from Your Route .

• Radial DME User Waypoints—The location of these waypoints is based on the radial DME that you enter in the Name field.

When you add this type of waypoint to your route, it is considered temporary and is removed when the route is cleared, or you remove it manually. For more information, see Remove a User Waypoint from Your Route .

• Named User Waypoints—These user waypoints are considered permanent. You can create them to name a point in space for easier recognition and recall.

Named user waypoints may or may not be part of a route. They are not removed when a route is cleared. You must manually delete named user waypoints. For more information, see Delete a User Waypoint .


20


Create a Latitude/Longitude User Waypoint

To create a latitude/longitude user waypoint by interacting with the map:

1. Touch, hold, and release the enroute map at the location where you want to insert a waypoint.

Mobile FliteDeck displays the New Waypoint popover.

• To enter comments, tap in the Comments field.

2. Complete the action by doing one of the following:

• To add the waypoint to your current route, tap Add to Route.

• To add the waypoint to the current route and remove all points between your aircraft position and the waypoint, tap Direct To.

NOTE The Direct To option is available when the Moving Map setting in JeppFD global settings is set to ON and the minimum GPS accuracy requirement is met.

• To create the latitude/longitude waypoint without adding it to your route (in which case it would be considered a permanent waypoint), tap Done at the top of the New Waypoint popover.

Mobile FliteDeck displays the latitude and longitude coordinates for the newly created user waypoint on the map.


21


Create a Radial DME User Waypoint

Assume that air traffic control instructs you to fly: "Direct to 26 DME on 156 radial off of Falcon VOR.”

You can quickly create a radial DME user waypoint by interacting with the map. To create a temporary radial DME user waypoint:

1. Touch, hold, and release the enroute map.

FliteDeck displays the New Waypoint popover.

2. In the Name field, enter the VOR ident, radial, and DME.

Radials must be entered using three digits with a forward slash between the radial and the DME, and they must not include any spaces. Example: FQF156/26

3. To enter comments, tap in the Comments field.




Mobile FliteDeck displays the user waypoint on the map in the location based on the radial DME that you entered in the Name field.


FQF156/26

Navaid RadialDME


22


Create a Named User Waypoint

To create a named user waypoint by interacting with the map:

1. Touch, hold, and release the enroute map at the location where you want to insert a waypoint.

Mobile FliteDeck displays the New Waypoint popover.

2. In the Name field, enter a name.

You can include any characters available on the keyboard in the waypoint name, including spaces. The maximum length of a user waypoint name cannot exceed the area provided in the popover.

Simplified Mid-Cycle Chart Revision Interaction

Mobile FliteDeck 2.7.1 simplifies chart selection during a mid-cycle chart revision.

Now, when charts with multiple revision dates are available, you can select the revision date that you want to apply for all charts at the airport, as well as selecting revision dates on a chart-by-chart basis.

A mid-cycle chart revision occurs when a chart takes effect in the middle of a scheduled chart revision time period.

About Mid-Cycle Chart Revisions

Usually whenever terminal charts are updated, the charts are effective upon receipt and available to you immediately in Mobile FliteDeck.

Some charts, however, take effect mid-cycle. For those charts that take effect mid-cycle, Mobile FliteDeck displays an amber badge, which indicates that a mid-cycle chart revision is available. The badge appears within 24 hours of the revised chart effectivity change.

NOTE Always brief selected terminal charts including a review of effectivity dates.

Switch Between Available Chart Versions from the Airports List

Whenever a revision exists for a chart at an airport in your route, Mobile FliteDeck displays an effectivity badge on the Airports button and in the expanded Route Airports list.


31


To view effective dates and access the option to switch between available chart versions for the airport:

1. Tap the route Airports button.

Mobile FliteDeck displays the list of airports for the active flight, and any airport effectivity text and badges.

2. Tap the Airport Effectivity badge area.

Mobile FliteDeck displays the Airport Revision Selector and prompts you to choose the effectivity date of the charts that you want to view.

1. Tap the Chart Revision tag.

Mobile FliteDeck expands the Chart Revision tag and indicates the effective date of the chart being used.

2. Tap the Switch button.

Mobile FliteDeck displays the Airport Revision Selector and prompts you to choose the effectivity date of the chart that you want to view.


33


Enhanced Unscheduled Updates Interaction

Mobile FliteDeck 2.7.1 addresses usability concerns related to unscheduled updates so that now you can complete an unscheduled update for any data type that is sent—that is, terminal chart, enroute, or manual updates.

An unscheduled (or off-cycle) update is an unplanned change. For example, an unscheduled update can occur due to an error on an existing chart or, in the case of company manuals, when a publication is not on an update cycle.

Unscheduled updates are initiated by your company or by Jeppesen on a case-by-case basis. Notification of an unscheduled update will come from an external communication.

Whenever you receive notice that there is an unscheduled update, you can go into Mobile FliteDeck to perform the update.

To perform an unscheduled update:
