Jeppesen to provide U.S. Air Force with iPad-based electronic flight bag services

Jeppesen, a part of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services, and the U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command signed an agreement to provide iPad-based electronic flight bag (EFB) services for approximately 1,160 Mobility Air Force aircraft, and more than 16,000 related Air Force iPad users. The Mobility Air Force aircraft will be equipped with Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro, the EFB solution that streamlines the use of navigational information for military fleet programs and commercial aviation operators. Mobility Air Force fleet aircraft that will be equipped with Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro on iPad include C-5, C-17, C-130, KC-10, KC-135 and multiple executive and operational support aircraft. In addition to vector-based Jeppesen terminal charts, FliteDeck Pro includes data-driven enroute content, which is dynamically rendered and de-cluttered for the pilot’s current needs. Information for all enroute and airport charted features is available, including communication information, operational notes, current weather conditions and airport runway details.
