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.
