Introduction
Update and Deployment Considerations

Update and Deployment Considerations

FliteDeck Pro is released through available Apple distribution models. Only one
version of the app can be downloaded to the iPad at a time.

It is recommended that you force close the FliteDeck Pro app before updating to a
new version.

The FliteDeck Pro app and data, including subsequent data updates, requires 2 to
6 GB of available storage capacity on the iPad. The variability in the storage
capacity requirement is related to the size of the terminal charts coverage area.

About Initial Download and Data Updates

After you download FliteDeck Pro 2.9.1, you might need to go to Profile settings
and verify that Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. is a trusted developer on your iPad. See
Verifying Trusted Developer on page 2 for instructions.

NOTE: Refer to the following Apple support article for more information on custom
enterprise apps: Guidelines for installing custom enterprise apps on iOS.

What is Preserved When Updating the App

When FliteDeck Pro is updated from one version to another, the app preserves
the following information:

• Customized FliteDeck Pro global settings under user control, including regis-
tration and account information
• Saved flights
• User waypoints

Verify Trusted Developer

After you download FliteDeck Pro 2.9.1, you might be required to access iPad
Profile settings and verify that Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. is a trusted developer on
your iPad. To do so:

1. Tap Settings from the iPad Home Screen.

2. Tap General.
3. Tap Profiles & Device Management.
4. Tap the Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. fly-out.
5. Tap Trust Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc.
6. Tap Trust to confirm.
NOTE: Refer to the following Apple support article for more information on custom
enterprise apps: Guidelines for installing custom enterprise apps on iOS.

 Introduction
Connectivity Considerations

Managing Automatic App Updates

Apple iOS 7, and later, offers automatic background app updates. When a device
is fully charged and connected to the Internet, it downloads and installs free app
updates without requiring any interaction from the user. This feature might not
always be desirable.

Preventing Automatic App Updates

You might want to prevent automatic FliteDeck Pro updates to avoid downloading
at an inopportune time.

 To disable background app updates:

1. Tap Settings from the iPad Home Screen.

2. Tap iTunes & App Store.
3. Under Automatic Downloads, switch Apps to OFF.

NOTE: Preventing the automatic update of the app does not affect the availability
of reoccurring data updates to FliteDeck Pro.

Connectivity Considerations

On the Ground
iPads have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technologies built-in. Wi-Fi enables
an Internet connection, and Bluetooth enables a connection to nearby devices. If
an iPad is enabled for cellular service, the iPad can connect anywhere that the
cellular service is available.

FliteDeck Pro requires a reliable Wi-Fi or cellular Internet connection to download

updates. To share flight information between two iPads running FliteDeck Pro, the
iPads use a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection.

NOTE: FliteDeck Pro displays ownship based on your GPS receiver. In Track Up
orientation, the ownship symbol and enroute map might shift when your
aircraft is not moving.

In the Air
All models of iPads that are third generation or newer have built-in Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth connectivity. The internal iPad GPS receiver uses Wi-Fi signals and
nearby cellular towers to triangulate position so that the iPad can quickly find its
position.

While the iPad GPS receiver works well and provides good GPS accuracy, it
might not be reliable in all flight decks while airborne. You can opt for an external
GPS device to work with the iPad as a back-up.

Getting Started
FliteDeck Pro Global Settings

Getting Started
Getting started with FliteDeck Pro is easy. You set up global settings to fit your
and your company’s needs and then use basic iPad gestures to interact with the
app.

FliteDeck Pro Global Settings

Your company EFB administrator may preconfigure certain FliteDeck Pro global settings. Any changes that
you make to those preconfigured settings will not take effect when you launch FliteDeck Pro. Any settings that
are not preconfigured remain under your control.

All settings are preserved and do not change between subsequent launches, or when you upgrade from one
version of FliteDeck Pro to another.

 To adjust FliteDeck Pro global settings:

1. Tap Settings from your iPad Home screen.

2. From the list of apps, tap JeppFD-Pro.

Sleep Mode

You can switch Sleep Mode OFF to ensure that your iPad stays powered on
during flight. This setting is ON by default.

NOTE: Switching Sleep Mode OFF reduces the iPad battery life.

Flight Info
 Adjust these settings to send and receive flight information:

• To share FliteDeck Pro flight information between iPads, switch Allow Flight
Sharing to ON for both iPads.
• To display and load ATC cleared routes, set Display ATC Clearances to ON.

FliteDeck Pro Global Settings

Enroute View

NOTE: Centering the map over aircraft location and displaying ownship position
on the enroute map are both designed to improve flight crew situational
awareness during enroute flight. Do not use this functionality as the basis
for navigation. Operators may be required to obtain additional authoriza-
tion to use this function.
 Adjust these settings to customize your view of the enroute map:

• To track your aircraft, recenter the enroute map over your aircraft location after
panning away, and view the enroute map in a track-up orientation, switch
Moving Map to ON.
• To display your aircraft position on the enroute map, switch Display Ownship
to ON.
• To display the VFR enroute theme, switch Display VFR Theme to ON.
The minimum GPS accuracy requirement to display the ownship symbol on
the enroute map is 200 meters.

Terminal Charts View

NOTE: Displaying ownship position on terminal charts is designed to assist flight

crews in orienting themselves on the airport surface and to improve pilot
positional awareness during taxi operations. This functionality is not to be
used as the basis for ground maneuvering and is limited to ground
operations.
 Adjust these settings to customize your view of terminal charts:

• To display your aircraft position on approach charts, switch Display Ownship

on Approach Charts to ON. This setting also enables you to display the off-
screen indicator on approach charts.
• To display your aircraft position on taxi charts, switch Display Ownship on
Taxi Charts to ON.
• The default chart zoom level is the zoom level preference that you set for
viewing your terminal charts. Tap the fly-out to choose your preference. Fit
Full Chart is the default value.
• The setting for the Arpt Diagram (10-9) Speed Threshold is the speed at
which, if enabled and in flight, the automatic switch to a taxi diagram occurs.

You can optimize this setting for a specific aircraft by adjusting the threshold
speed. Values range from 30 to 80 knots.

The minimum GPS accuracy requirement to automatically switch to a taxi

chart and display the ownship symbol on a taxi chart is 17 meters.

The minimum GPS accuracy requirement to display the ownship symbol on

approach charts is 50 meters.

Creating a Route Manually

Adding a SID and a STAR

When the runway is a part of the route description, transition points are depicted
on the enroute map by a dashed line and a label that identifies the procedure
appears along the dashed line.

FIGURE 3: SID and STAR entered in Flight Info drawer with STAR showing on
enroute map

The format to render SID and STAR transition points on the enroute map is:

• For a SID, enter: runway.SID.transition

• For a STAR, enter: transition.STAR.runway

For example, to render transition points on the enroute map for the BAYLR3
departure out of Denver, departing on Runway 35R, via the TEHRU enroute
transition, to Dove Creek VOR, to the Peach Springs transition for the RIIVR3
arrival, planning Runway 7R into Los Angeles, in the route description box you
would enter:

35R.BAYLOR.TEHRU.DVC.PGS.RIIVR3.07R

NOTE: FliteDeck Pro depicts SID and STAR transition points on the enroute map
to support situational awareness. Always brief the SID or STAR terminal
procedure.

Working with User Waypoints

With this release, improvements to user waypoint interactions include the ability to
quickly switch between a temporary and permanent user waypoint.

As in previous versions, you can create a waypoint used for a single instance in
your route. This is referred to as a temporary user waypoint.

The temporary user waypoint is identified on the enroute map by a star symbol
with a box around it.

You can also create a waypoint used for a reference point, which may or may not
be part of your route. This is referred to as a permanent user waypoint.

A permanent user waypoint is now depicted on the enroute map by a star symbol.

About User Waypoints

As in previous versions of FliteDeck Pro, you can create:

• Latitude/Longitude User Waypoints—These user waypoints are represented

on the enroute map by their coordinates.
• Radial DME User Waypoints—the location of these user waypoints is based
on the radial DME that you enter in the Name field. They are represented on
the enroute map in the format of their name: Navaid, Radial/ DME.
• Named User Waypoints—these user waypoints are used to name a point for
easier recognition and recall. They are represented on the enroute map by
their names.

2. Tap the enroute theme you want to view: High IFR, Low IFR, or VFR.

NOTE: When you change to another enroute theme, certain route objects might
not be included in the theme that you change to. In that case, FliteDeck
displays the object as a standard waypoint on the enroute map. When you
switch back to the theme that includes the object, FliteDeck displays the
object as it was originally defined.

For example, if you add a VFR checkpoint to your route from the VFR
enroute theme, and then switch to the Low IFR enroute theme, FliteDeck
displays the checkpoint with a standard waypoint symbol.
