Jepp charts the same?

[skydraulic]

Anyone know if the Jepp charts have changed any in the last 6 years? I found some old Jepp charts from 2001. I've been using NOS charts lately but need to review Jepp charts for an upcoming interview.

thanks

No kidding...the Q updates are coming in boxes now. Can't wait to go with EFB's.

Ahhh...the EFB dream. No more 4 inch thick revisions...one day! For the original question: Were you talking about format? If so, its basically the same. You can look in Book 1 and it will/should tell you what every symbol means on the plates. That's all I ever looked at, but rumor has it FSI has a book that explains everything about Jepps. Recurrent next month for me, so I'm going to ask for one.

I'm gonna can my paper subscription(s) and just go with the electronic version(s). This is getting rediculous...I thought about Q service for next year but thinking back on it, revision 7 would have filled up the entire Q binder.

I have been doing the EFB charts since 2001. Even when they were slow to update (50 mins) they were better than paper. Then they went to fast (5-10 mins) update. Now our EFB has wireless and we take it into the FBO and download the update through the web-no more disks either. Now Jepp has even got a XM weather add on so our EFB bluetooths to the XM antenna and gives us all the XM WX on the Flightdeck software. I say-tell you boss the time savings and work load reduction it will do as well as the increased WX awareness.

That's insane.

Yep I've got NavSuite and paper charts and I'm dumping the paper when it's time to renew. The JeppView thing now with XM looks neat. I just need to get this tablet PC fixed so it doesn't shut itself off...I don't like hearing "N345 contact departure" and as I Look down to double check the freq on the DP, I get a black screen.

....not cool.

What PC is everyone using in the cockpit? I'm buying one in the next few days and have no idea what to get. I just ordered jeppview and they rec. either Fujistu or motion computing. Any models that you guys use? Would like to keep the price around $2000. Doable? Thanks

I've tried that. The response from the higher ups: Its just a pilot convenience.

Now, how bad of a comment is that? God forbid the pilot gets a convenience!

We got the small motion computing tablet. The pro's-its small. the cons-it has no internal fan and gets real HOT! If I had to do it over-I would get the larger one with the fan.

That's what the salesperson told us, get the one with the fan.

Take all the water,drinks and snacks off and take the lav out and mark DO NOT USE! When they ask about it on a long flight tell them its a passenger convenience.
