Navtech Launches New Charts Products
Navtech announced an upgrade to its electronic charts applications, eCharts, (formerly known as eRM and eAERAD) and the launch of its new Seamless Enroute Charts (SENC) product. This upgrade features an easy-to-use interface, improved night mode functionality, and "CrossTalk" capability between connected flight deck units. The new SENC supports professional users with its database generated dynamic world-wide airway charts.
"Last year was a challenging year for many in the aviation industry and in response, Navtech has forged ahead by creating the kind of product enhancements that will help make their businesses more efficient," said Mike Hulley, Navtech CEO. "Our electronic charts products are great examples of that commitment in action."
Navtech eCharts features Navtech's aerochart specification that was launched in 2008. Aerochart's new format was designed using research from Human Factor specialists and by gathering data from, and working closely with a number of pilots with years of experience using aeronautical charts. Available in electronic format with touch screen user interfaces for use in an office or in an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), the Navtech eCharts and Navtech SENC interfaces are designed to be logical and instantly usable with minimal training. Navtech also offers a Web version of eCharts to provide online access for briefing and familiarization purposes.
Navtech eCharts is a stand-alone application that enables simple, intuitive access to a 60,000+ page library of aeronautical charts, supplementary text chapters and optional airline specific content. By operating on any recent Windows platform, eCharts provides a highly secure and encrypted electronic environment. Navtech eCharts and Navtech SENC are compiled from official documents as well as geographical and topographical digital data. The charts are designed primarily for instrument navigation, providing essential information in a format where clarity is the key feature. The content varies with the geographical coverage and can be cost efficiently tailored for the customer.
