Mobile FliteDeck VFR Version 2.0Tips and TricksDear Aviator,

Welcome to Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR Version 2.0! As you know,Mobile FliteDeck VFR is the first application from Jeppesen craftedspecifically for the needs of the VFR pilot. Release 2.0 furthers our visionof making the complex simple by introducing a new graphical weatherforecasting concept designed from scratch. It builds upon thousands ofindividual data points, and structures and displays them to supportweather familiarization and decision making usingthe same seamlessinteraction methodology you already enjoy with Mobile FliteDeck VFR.

We hope that our new software release will find your appreciation andsupport your decision process moving forward.

Tips and Tricks

Mobile FliteDeck VFR Version 2.0 intends to simplify your pre-flight weatherfamiliarization and decision making. It delivers indications for safe VFRoperations via a matrix-driven color overlay. For example, a red color overlaywarns of severely adverse weather phenomena in a particular region – whichcould relate to icing, snow, low visibility or else. In doing so, Version 2.0weather still adheres to the very same interaction methodology as its renowned‘seamless zooming navigation’, providing further detail the deeper you zoom in.

Right upon upgrade to Version 2.0, the new weather concept will automaticallysynchronize once a WiFi internet connection is established. Thesynchronization process can be managed in the ‘Downloads’ section, while thecellular reception remains part of the global settings of the iPad.

For actual use within the ‘Planning’ and/ or ‘Go Flying’ modes, Version 2.0weather is considered an overlay. It can be switched ‘On’ or ‘Off’ in thepre-established ‘Overlay’ bar.

Unlike METARs, Version 2.0 wind and phenomena overlays rely on 3-hour highfidelity forecast intervals. Forecasts are calculated every 12 hours for a 10 NMby 10 NM raster, allowing for an exact breakdown of phenomena by tapping ona particular region (raster). Winds are available for ‘Surface’, ‘5000ft’, ‘10000ft’,and ‘15000ft’, with arithmetic wind averages and wind corrections calculatedautomatically upon zooming. As you may expect, these winds aloft areautomatically populated into the NavLog supporting your route.

Weather Controller

The R.2.0 ‘Weather Controller’ (bar) combines weather phenomena, wind,altitudes (for winds) and time-of-day management into a single control unit;

thus maintaining a simple, easy to use interface.

On the left side you can toggle between weather phenomena (color-codedoverlays) and winds. The bubble represents the central artifact for slidingthrough multiple forecast intervals and days. It can be dragged over the levelbar manually, or played as a video using the ‘Play’ button to the right.

Altitude selections for winds are available by selecting the windsock, thentapping on the displayed altitude indication.

‘Seamless Zooming’ Weather and Details

Other than maneuvering through time and altitude using the weather controller,you can also interact through pinch zooming on the chart. Similar to thenavigation methodology, zooming in will provide further detail – for instance willthe colored tiles be supplemented through symbology. The symbols visible inlower zoom states focus on the most adverse phenomena – which correlate tothe respective color coding. For a list of all downloaded phenomena for aparticular region, simply tap on the screen: the known textbox will open, thenoutlining weather details next to airspace information.

The weather phenomena legend is accessible via the “overlay’ bar:

Additional Enhancements in Version 2.0:

Refined NavLog to automatically ingest winds aloft into calculations anddisplayIntroduced bearing & distance indications for all waypoints and airportson the map in live modeAdded IFR waypoints and improved waypoint search capabilities (EU)Improved TFR display to feature airspace labels, vertical limits, andeffective times (USA)Improved ‘Downloads’ screen and operation (i.e. top down sequence,extraction progress bar)General Manual (EU) re-integrated into the ‘Country Downloads’Optimized iOS 8 and XML processingFixed update and alerting functionImplemented approximately 200 minor software and designimprovements

Mobile FliteDeck VFR Version 2.0Tips and Tricks (part II)Dear Aviator,

We recently released Mobile FliteDeck VFR 2.0, which provides some greatnew features. The comments and feedback have been very positive and wehave some additional tips and tricks we think you will find helpful.

Date-dependent automation

Mobile FliteDeck VFR is designed to automate a multitude of manualselections and interactions. As an example, a single entry of date and time willautomatically prompt and display the related NOTAMs surrounding a particularroute. The same logic applies to the recently introduced feature where windsaloft are automatically incorporated into the NavLog. If the selected date andtime is not within downloaded forecast interval, the wind data fields in theNavLog will remain empty.Following the above concept, incorrect and/or past dates will result in incorrectand/or past data and information being displayed. We therefore stronglyrecommend dates are selected in line with the proposed day and time of flightfor optimum accuracy. This entry can be made in the following area:

Manual weather download

Mobile FliteDeck VFR automatically downloads the latest METAR, TAF, windand significant weather data corresponding to your active country coverage.The amount of data provided as part of the wind and significant weather layersis significant, not only in terms of valuable information, but also in file size andapp processing. In order to put you in control, these downloads can bemanually enabled, disabled, and re-started within the Download section underthe Weather tab.

Weather data managementThe amount of weather data added with release 2.0 is significant. If your iPad®has low remaining memory and/or is an older model, you may experience slowdownload times and/or poor overall rendering performance. The data-intensewind layers are directly connected to your downloaded and active coverages.To improve download and processing times, you may consider reducing largercoverages to only those countries required to conduct your next flight(s).Please note that all countries temporarily de-selected and/or not downloaded(but still subscribed to) remain available for download at any point during yoursubscription.

Please contact us at fra-services@jeppesen.comor call us at +49 6102 50 70 if you have any questions.
