OSHKOSH – Jeppesen has introduced Mobile FliteDeck VFR, a new iPad-based navigation and planning solution designed specifically for private pilots in the continental U.S. operating under visual flight rules (VFR) conditions.
Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR is now available with numerous charting navigation coverage options, including full-U.S. VFR coverage with a $49 annual data subscription, company officials said. Previously introduced for European pilots, the new VFR mobile app for iPad builds on Jeppesen’s mobile architecture and was designed in close coordination with VFR pilots to enhance specific workflow capabilities.
Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR includes interactive features and functions designed for VFR flying, including true data-driven enroute navigation, route planning capabilities, planning and flying modes and access to NOTAMs and text and graphical weather data. Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR aircraft settings also allow for management of planned, actual and past flights, providing simplified access to preferred flight data.
Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR also features airport diagram and area charts in one view, eliminating the need to toggle between charts. Enhanced symbols are included with the iPad app and filters eliminate clutter on screen, directed per pilot preference.
Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR is now available through the App Store on iPad, with a required data subscription.

I think it’s great that Jeppesen has created a new flight planning product. However, only making this product for the Ipad platform leaves many hundreds of Android users still waiting for a real good program to put on their devices. We don’t want to have to reinvest in new hardware to have access to the best navigation products.
Many of us out here want an Android version of the MFD VFR software. You’re leaving a lot of us out since we’ve already invested in the Android platform and don’t want to have to buy into the whole overpriced Apple hardware game. Are there any thoughts along this line?
