The process involves acquiring navigational information for aviation systems through a specific application designed for Jeppesen Distribution Manager. This acquisition provides pilots and flight operations personnel with essential chart and data updates required for safe and efficient flight planning and execution. For example, pilots utilizing Jeppesen’s electronic flight bag (EFB) solutions routinely engage this process to ensure their databases are current with the latest aeronautical information.
Accessing and implementing current aeronautical information is paramount for aviation safety and regulatory compliance. The timely updating of flight data mitigates risks associated with outdated or inaccurate navigational information, such as changes in airport procedures, airspace restrictions, or obstacle data. Historically, this information was distributed via physical media; the current digital process offers improved efficiency, speed, and accuracy.
