Jeppesen and Teledyne Controls to deliver increased airline data connectivity through new agreement

Jeppesen, a Boeing Company, has teamed with Teledyne Controls to integrate Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro with Teledyne’s GroundLink Comm+ system with Aircraft Interface Device (AID) functionality, known as GroundLink AID+. This will deliver greater data connectivity for carriers using FliteDeck Pro, one of the leading electronic flight bag (EFB) solution for airlines and large-scale operators. GroundLink AID+ technology from Teledyne will allow airlines to view real-time GPS-based, ownship positioning on navigational charts to increase situational awareness in flight. Specifically, this alliance between Jeppesen and Teledyne allows airport charts, departure charts, enroute and weather maps and arrival charts in FliteDeck Pro to be quickly and easily integrated with data from the aircraft’s existing onboard data systems to help enable the pilot to make better informed decisions to increase operational efficiency and improve safety margins.
