Jeppesen Releases Terminal Chart Viewer for Apple iPad

Plane Geek — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 20:28:52 +0000

Today, Jeppesen released Mobile TC, an iPad App that displays electronic terminal procedures. The App is available for free in Apple's iTunes store, but it requires a subscription to JeppView or NavSuite. While the Jeppesen Mobile TC App is not as feature-rich as exisitng iPad Apps like Foreflight (which sports XM Weather in addition to NACO charts), having access to worldwide charts on a compact, low-cost platform may make the iPad an attractive Electronic Flight Bag platform for Business Aviation.

Avoiding Chart Database Corruption When Updating JeppView or NavSuite

Skype Available On Verizon Blackberry Devices This March

Plane Geek — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:18:32 +0000

UPDATE: It looks like Skype has taken their announcement video down. Regardless, I've been pleased with the service so far! - Curtis The video above comes courtesy of Skype.. In my day job as IT Director for a bizet management and charter outfit, I manage about fifty wireless telephones that can be anywhere in the world on any given day. Our crews are expected to be in touch at all times, so roaming charges for two-dozen phones scattered across five continents can be a killer, even with our our heavily discounted Verizon Wireless Blackberry plans.
