In a world where aviation apps are overloaded with features, Jeppesen believes that pilots should spend more time flying and less time operating their iPad. As a result, they’ve reworked the user interface on the FliteDeck app so that it’s based more around an IFR pilot’s workflow and requires less hunting for information.

Many of the enhancements to Mobile FliteDeck 2.1 is the result of feedback received from professional pilots. The short list includes limited features we might expect from a modern aviation app, including own-ship position on charts, automatic transition to the taxi diagram upon landing and the ability to view charts before you load them.
