Jeppesen brings to EBACE 2002 a complete portfolio of its products and services for business aviation, with particular focus on its three newest offerings:

JetPlan.com is a user interface for the industry-leading JetPlan flight planning engine. It is browser-based, allowing users with access to any internet connection using Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher to create flight plans, check weather, NOTAMs and routing constraints, then transmit them using SITA, AFTN, FAX or e-mail.

"Wherever you have access to the internet, whether a hotel room, an FBO or an aircraft itself, you can get access to JetPlan.com" said Derek Towns, Jeppesen's product manager, flight planning. "No more difficult and unreliable dial-up sessions, especially in out-of-the-way places."

JetPlanner, announced on May 1, is the newest MS Windows-based user interface for JetPlan, making it easier, more accessible and more cost-effective, claims Jeppesen. "JetPlanner takes flight planning with JetPlan a step further," said Towns. "It comes packed with high resolution graphical tools and makes use of inexpensive TCP/IP communications technology to make flight planning easier to use and even more cost effective."

In creating JetPlanner, Jeppesen has taken JetPlan's capabilities-which include real-time weather, routing and airspace information; ETOPS, drift-down and optimal scenario analysis functionality; variable cost indexing, fuel-tankering/in-flight refueling calculations; re-clear/re-release capability; and the ability to run flight plans on a pre-selected time-trigger basis, and combined them with an easy-to-use graphical user interface. It includes a "rubberband routing" function, which gives users the ability to graphically plot and manipulate planned routings.

Last, and latest, of the new products Jeppesen is showcasing at EBACE is EasyBrief, an internet-based crew self-briefing module which allows JetPlan users to access preflight briefing packages anywhere they have access to the internet or a company LAN/WAN. EasyBrief saves users money by eliminating SITA and ARINC forwarding charges. In addition, it can automatically deliver confirmation when crews retrieve briefing packages.

Jeppesen is at Booth 7474 in the exhibition hall.
