Jeppesen is offering bundle options to lower the cost of data updates for pilots. Three new annual subscription bundles are being offered for a mixed bag of panel-mounted avionics and tablet apps. Bundles will be offered for two or four device installations with coverage areas to suit the pilot’s needs.
“Databases for avionics can be complex, especially with multiple avionics systems in one aircraft,” said Jeppesen’s general aviation client management director Reggie Arsenault. “Our customer service team will simplify options per pilot needs and price points and will guide how to best manage data subscriptions — available across all of their avionics systems, Mobile FliteDeck and Garmin Pilot apps and JeppView for PCs.”
Three new bundle options are offered. The first includes Garmin’s GTN or GNS/W navigators and Garmin Pilot with coverage of the U.S., Canada and Alaska, and full Americas. Pricing ranges from $440 to $745 based on the avionics configuration and coverage area. The second bundle offers the same coverage areas for a variety of Garmin offerings. In this case, pilots can choose coverage for two or four Garmin units with different pricing. Both of these Garmin bundle options are available today.
Beginning in January, a third option called Flex will be available for airplanes with avionics installations from different manufacturers such as Avidyne, Aspen and Garmin. Full Americas coverage with nav data and charts, including charts for two mobile devices, will cost $1,445.
