I don't print anything at all and haven't for three years but just asking about it gave me this "what kind of dinosaur are you?" look. Printing is not what you are supposed to do for enroute charts and the message I got is that they give you a key for two devices so you have a backup. Only locally rendered vector charts requiring a tablet/smartphone.Īlso I do want to print off the bits I need and printing something usefully from an Ipad requires you to join the Church of Scientology. That was what my whole posting was about They are getting axed, no more raster charts, neither on paper nor DVD. And with a lot of pilots going electronic, a lot of that must have evaporated quite suddenly. Nobody I have ever met in the UK used them, probably very few people in Germany used them (they have good national charts), same for France, and the rest of Europe has relatively much less GA. I think the market for their printed "VFR/GPS" charts has been very region-selective.

I used to fly with the Bottlangs in 2004/05 (pre-IR) and they were just manuals of what we today call VFR airport charts and VFR Approach Charts, plus a sheet with some (mostly nonworking) phone numbers, and the VFR Europe product gives you exactly the same. One does need VFR charts for an IFR flight unless the flight is wholly in CAS end to end and all possible alternates are in CAS and you have two engines so never need to land anywhere unplannedĭo they still sell the Bottlang printed manuals? I thought that turned into what they sell as VFR Europe (or some subset of) for Jeppview, plus the corresponding pages in what they call Text Pages. Especially if one can print off strip charts along a route, which is currently not possible (why?) with the Raster Charts. If they produce decent vector charts (basically vector versions of their Raster Charts, as they currently do for a couple of countries) for Jeppview or Flitestar, I will be happy.

It is damn nearly impossible to even get a PFD out of the damned thing.Īnyway it would be stupid of Jepp to ignore the Android market. Also I do want to print off the bits I need and printing something usefully from an Ipad requires you to join the Church of Scientology. I don't want to have to use an Ipad to get VFR charts. That is currently the only way to display and print off Jepp VFR charts from a Windows PC.
What will happen to their Raster Charts product?
#Jeppfd ipad cycle update#
The 28-day update cycle vector maps are far superior to the once-a-year raster maps. no combination of enroute and terminal/taxi and traffic patterns. Note that the VFR map implementation in JeppFD will be less powerful than the JeppFD VFR product, e.g.
This is great news for all IFR pilots as you really should have VFR maps but might not want to pay loads of money to get them. Today it already contains an up to date vector IFR enroute map.

However, "soon", JeppFD will receive VFR vector maps for your current coverage free of charge. JeppView for Windows will remain, there are no plans to decommission this product. One consequence is that fixed layout charts will completely disappear in favor of dynamically constructed vector maps. Two main electronic products replace the paper maps: JeppFD for IFR and Jeppesen Mobile Flight Deck VFR. They did not give me a hard date but said that it will happen fairly quickly. This has started already (the UK VFR maps got axed this year) and will continue based on two factorsĢ) availability of an electronic version of the chart. Jeppesen are going to cease production of all paper charts. I talked to Jeppesen reps at Tannkosh this weekend and got some interesting information.
