Aero-TV: Hilton Software Powers Jeppesen Mobile Program ...

WingX and Jepp: Quite A Match! This has been quite a year for Hilton Software's WingX program... not only did they put together a truly inspired mobile information system for pilots that easily installs on just about any Phone/PDA powered by a Windows operating system, but it seems that Jeppesen kinda got caught up in what they did, as well... so much so that they have entered into an agreement to use WingX at the core of their new mobile offerings. Jeppesen Mobile was designed to be "the perfect solution for pilots who demand the utmost portability in a flight planning and pre-flight preparation tool. With fast, easy-to-use route planning, weight & balance, the latest METARs, TAFs & TFRs, animated weather graphics, IFR, VFR and ADIZ flight plan filing and much more right on your phone or PDA." Based on the Hilton Software WingX application, the introduction of Jeppesen Mobile is designed to provide "a high-value, tightly integrated suite of pre-flight, in-flight and post-flight functions for your Windows mobile phone or Pocket PC." The application suite is primarily fueled by JeppGuide airport & airport services information; QCIP certified graphical weather images, FARs and FARs Explained and Airport Diagrams.
