About JeppView FliteDeck
JeppView FliteDeck is designed for use in an aircraft while the aircraft is flying.
Proper use of FliteDeck can enhance positional awareness, assist with in-flight
replanning, and provide valuable information for normal and emergency operations.
Because FliteDeck is used during flight, the cockpit interface is simple and easy to
use:
• FliteDeck eliminates the normal menu you would find in most Windows
programs. Tests have shown these types of menus are difficult to use in the
cockpit during flight.
• FliteDeck contains no pop-up windows to block your view of essential
information on the screen.
• You cannot resize the FliteDeck window during use. FliteDeck uses a fixed
amount of space on the screen.
• You configure FliteDeck with a separate setup program, which eliminates
extra distracting buttons and menus in the program itself.
• FliteDeck includes a GPS simulator trainer so you can learn the program
before trying to fly with it.
• FliteDeck displays current weather by using your XM WxWorx Weather
Satellite™ service to enhance situational awareness.
JeppView FliteDeck is designed to supplement flight planning navigation
information provided by other sources. Please be advised that data
errors and computer malfunctions are possible. As pilot in command,
you are the final authority on the accuracy and sufficiency of FliteDeck
information.
Do not use FliteDeck as a sole source of navigation information, and
make sure your aircraft is equipped with approved IFR navigation
equipment if flying in instrument meteorological conditions.
You should also exercise extreme vigilance when operating any
potentially distracting device in the aircraft. Jeppesen, or any of its
agents or third parties, cannot be held liable for the accuracy and
sufficiency of information provided by FliteDeck.
