Sandel Avionics
SANDEL AVIONICS announced it has been chosen by the Japan Ground Self Defense Force to provide its 3-ATI SN3500 primary navigation display and SG102 attitude heading reference system with unique reversionary attitude display mode for a fleet of 30 new Enstrom 480B turbine helicopters purchased by the JGSDF. The final purchase order was submitted to Enstrom Helicopter for the fleet purchase at HAI Heli-Expo 2012. Enstrom will begin configuring the JGSDF helicopters with the Sandel products immediately and plans to complete helicopter deliveries during the next three years. An electronic HSI system that enhances mission readiness and pilot awareness, the SN3500 offers a unique combination of navigation and safety features, including compass heading, moving map, GPS flight plan, RMI and traffic display. In addition, the SN3500 was designed for compatibility with both digital and analog aircraft and helicopters. Accommodating a wide variety of sensor inputs, the SN3500’s long list of built-in features includes an internal nav converter, internal autopilot switching, internal Jeppesen NavData database, and a bright, LED sunlightreadable display that provides as much usable display area as many 4-inch EHSI units. Available options include satellite weather and TACAN display, and on-demand Class B NVIS compatibility. For more information, contact Sandel at 760-727-4900 or visit www.sandel.com. q

Flight Services, introduced a new route planning functionality for its industry-leading Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck app for iPad. The added features simplify the route planning process for general and business aviation pilots through the ability to enter user waypoints and manipulate route creation and display via a new “rubber-banding” feature. This feature automatically designs an optimized flight path that avoids obstacles and Garmin’s G5000H provides alternative routing options. Additional new features introduced in the updated version of Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck include lock-screen functionality to eliminate the chance of current view loss caused by an accidental screen touch. Improved app symbols now include GPS strength indication, eliminating the need to verify tablet GPS signal strength outside of the app. Business aviation operators also are now able to upload and access operations manuals on iPad, using Jeppesen document management services and a cloud-based distribution system with Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck. Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck features true, data-driven and interactive digital en route navigation information and worldwide geo-referenced terminal charts. Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck is optimized for all phases of flight and includes own-ship position and route overlay as well as the ability to view a complete library of terminal charts, airport diagrams and Jeppesen airway manual text information. Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck streamlines flight preparation, simplifies complex processes, eliminates labor associated with paper revisions and reduces clutter in the cockpit. Fast rendering capabilities and opening and download speeds as well as low storage space requirements help drive efficiency for pilots and operations staff.
