Jeppesen teams with Bose to provide audio warnings for Mobile FliteDeck VFR

Jeppesen, a part of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services, has teamed with audio expert Bose Corporation to provide automatic audio warnings as part of its flight information solution for private pilots flying under visual flight rules – Mobile FliteDeck VFR. Audio warning functionality continues Jeppesen’s platform of data-driven, or real-time, presentation of flight information for pilots. Pilots are able to connect their Bose A20 Aviation Headsets to the Mobile FliteDeck VFR app via Bluetooth and receive real-time critical airspace and waypoint audio warnings. Pilots flying in or near controlled airspace receive both visual and audio warnings ensuring airspace awareness. Unique sound and spoken word “airspace” warnings alert pilots to current airspace. If the pilot has defined route waypoints entered in Mobile FliteDeck VFR, similar audio and visual alerts are available to warn them in flight. Pilots also are able to choose which audio alerts they would like to receive, providing a personalized experience.
