Jeppesen eChart Reader

Electronic Ink eReader IFR Flight Charts

Are you tired of the hassles of paper charts? Are you ready to transition to a paperless cockpit? Then consider the Jeppesen eChart Reader subscription service - our Terminal Chart revision service, for eBook Reader devices. Currently offered for use on the mobile, flight-tested iRex platform from SolidFX LLC., our eReader electronic aviation charts include the same IFR Jeppesen charts available in paper form, including flight approach and departure procedures, enroute charts, aviation approach plates, airport terminal charts, diagrams, and more.

The Jeppesen eChart Reader service is designed for those who need:

  • A less expensive electronic flight bag (EFB) alternative
  • The convenience of electronic aviation charts on a tablet pc, an eReader, or an eBook alternative
  • The advantages of an electronic ink (e-ink) display with sharp, un-pixilated vector graphics

To learn more about our eCharts service, or to purchase electronic flight charts from Jeppesen, please:

Do I need a paper back-up if I have the FX10 or FX8?

If you are flying under Part 91 (most general aviation and business operations), then you don't need paper charts when you use the FX10 or FX8. However, it is always advisable to have a back-up. The back-up could be a panel-mounted solution, paper charts, or perhaps a second FX10 or FX8. Go to Jeppesen's website www.flyelectronic.net for more info.

Part 135 and 121 pilots may also be able to fly paperless after meeting certain FAA guidelines.  Please review FAA document AC-120-76A and AC-91-78 for more information.

How do I update the Jeppesen data?  

Review the instructions found in the FX10 or FX8 Owner's manual beginning on page 28. Use this link to download the Jeppesen Service Update Manager (JSUM) software. http://www.jeppesen.com/jsum/download.
