About the Initial App Download

The FliteDeck Pro X app and data, including subsequent data updates, requires
2–6 gigabytes (GB) of available storage capacity on your iPad. The variability in
the storage capacity requirement is related to the size of your FliteDeck Pro X
data coverage area. Any additional data, such as Airport Moving Map (AMM) or
tailored data, also affect storage requirements.
After you download FliteDeck Pro X to your device, you must activate the license
and complete an initial download of data. The activation code and data may be
downloaded from the Jeppesen server. Alternatively, you might look for an email
from JDMNotification sent to you by your EFB administrator. This email includes
instructions for completing the registration process.
Verify Trusted Developer

Upon first using the application you may need to verify trusted developer.
1. Tap Settings from the device Home Screen.

2. Tap General.
3. Tap VPN & Device Management.
4. Tap the Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc., flyout.
5. Tap Trust Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc.
6. Tap Trust to confirm.
For more information on custom enterprise apps, refer to the Apple support article:
Guidelines for installing custom enterprise apps on iOS.
About App Updates

Data updates might be required when you update the app. Ensure that you have
the necessary time and bandwidth to perform a complete update.
NOTE: The time necessary to download updates depends on the speed of your
internet connection and the size of your FliteDeck Pro X data coverage
area.

2
Introduction
When you update FliteDeck Pro X, the existing version of FliteDeck Pro X is
overwritten and registration information is automatically shared.
The following information is also preserved when updating FliteDeck Pro X:

Updating to FliteDeck Pro X 4.5.1
For Tailored Data Users Only
For those who use tailored data, your FliteDeck Pro X app upgrade is coordinated
between your EFB administrator and the FliteDeck Pro X customer care team.
NOTE: FliteDeck Pro X 4.5.1 supports a new format of tailored data. To maintain
access to tailored data, the new tailored data must be published to your
JDM Pro account before you update to FliteDeck Pro X 4.5.1.

fications to airports. This classification provides you with the ability to filter airports
in your view by these operator-defined classifications.
Operators can publish tailored data that assigns fleet-specific airport usage classi-
fications to airports. This classification provides you with the ability to filter airports
in your view by these operator-defined classifications.

classification.
Contact Information
You can copy contact information to the clipboard by using a long press gesture
over any contact field.
Remaining Sections
The remaining sections are customized and given a name based on the topic,
such as arrival, departure, taxi-in, or other topic. FliteDeck Pro X displays the title
for each topic.
In addition to each topic label, FliteDeck Pro X displays a General label if the topic
is not fleet-specific. For a topic that is fleet-specific, FliteDeck Pro X displays the
fleet short name.
FliteDeck Pro X displays the generally applicable topics first, followed by the fleet-
specific topics.

11
What’s New in 4.5
Updated Enroute Filtering

FliteDeck Pro X now shows all enroute filters with ON/OFF switch controls. For
those receiving tailored data, these additional filters are available.
• Airport filtering based on assigned airport classifications.

• Non-Company airport filter.
• Additional controls for ETOPS rings, including new display options, and
custom distances.
Diversions / Escape Routes and Tailored Boundaries

For those receiving tailored data, tailored boundaries can call out important areas along your flight
path. For example, tailored boundaries can identify no-fly or no-op areas, escape zones, critical terrain
areas, and distance from shorelines.
An operator can now associate different types of information with tailored boundaries, such as altitude
limits, company comms, diversion targets, and operational notes.
FIGURE 6: Diversions and Escape Routes with Tailored Boundaries

12
What’s New in 4.5

When your route intersects with a tailored boundary with company-specific
operational information associated with it, FliteDeck Pro X displays a brown
ballflag.
 To display company-specific operational information associated

with a tailored boundary:
• Tap a brown ballflag.
As with any operational note, tapping a ballflag directs FilteDeck Pro X to highlight
the selected area on the map and open a popover to display operational details.
Company-specific operational notes might include diversion or escape route

details specified by your operator. You can tap any flyout in the Details popover
for more information.
NOTE: FliteDeck Pro X elevates company-specific operational notes
associated with tailored boundaries into the Route List, just as it
elevates all operational notes into the Route List.
Improved ETOPS Rings Display - Tailored Data

With this release, there are the following improvements to the display of ETOPS rings. You
now have the ability to:
• Display combined rings.

• Deselect rings from display.

Tailored Waypoints - Tailored Data

Tailored waypoints are operator-defined points that may have associated
frequencies and remarks. These points may also mark the beginning of a
company route or a diversion route. An operator can also associate tailored data
with standard waypoints or fixes.
Accessing Tailored Waypoints

FliteDeck Pro X displays tailored waypoints as brown waypoint symbols on the
map.
 To learn more about a tailored waypoint:
• Tap the brown waypoint.

FliteDeck Pro X highlights the selected waypoint on the map and opens a

specific coordinates on the enroute map. These are called location-based
frequencies.
These communications frequencies can be associated with various features, such

as transmitters, point objects (including airports), boundaries, and routes or route
segments. Location-based frequencies are company-specific and are available
regardless of fleet selection.
Displaying Location-based Frequencies

Location-based frequencies appear in brown text when you zoom in on the map.
The label on the map identifies the call name or call sign, primary frequency, with
any secondary/alternate frequency in parenthesis.

Issues Resolved
FliteDeck Pro X 4.5.1

This release resolves the following issues:
• For those receiving tailored data, filtering by airport classification was not
available without an AMM subscription.
• Installing data without expiration dates, for example, terrain data, under
certain conditions resulted in the encounter of a 199 error.

23
Known Limitations
Known Limitations
This section describes known limitations in FliteDeck Pro X 4.5.1.
Selecting Runways for Procedures with Common Transitions

Issue: Selecting a runway for an airport may not work properly if the departure
and arrival procedures share a common transition.
Mitigation: Manually edit the route token to append or prepend a runway to the
procedure.
Weather Layers Do Not Always Display the First Time Activated

Issue: After enroute weather is enabled, the application might not display weather
data the first time a layer is selected.
Mitigation: Reselect the weather layer to display it on the enroute map.
ARINC 633 Formatted Flight Plans Might Not Import as Expected

Issue: Some ARINC 633 formatted flight plans might not import into the
application as expected.
Mitigation: Contact technical support for further information.
Unable to Mark Position on the Route Line

Issue: You cannot mark a position over the route line.
Mitigation: Tap to the side of the route line to mark your position, and then
update the latitude and longitude coordinates.
Route List Does Not Populate as Expected

Issue: Not all cells may populate in the Route List upon first view.
Mitigation: Close and re-open the Route List to populate the cells with data as
expected.
Tailored Data Does Not Display in VFR Enroute Map Theme

Issue: Tailored data does not display when viewing the enroute map in the VFR
map theme.
Mitigation: Change the enroute map theme to either High IFR or Low IFR to view
tailored data on the enroute map.

24
Known Limitations
Cannot Share Flights with Another Device as Expected

Issue: Sharing a flight with another device running FliteDeck Pro X does not send
the flight as expected.
Mitigation: When sharing a flight with another device, the receiving device must
open the Shared Flights panel in FliteDeck Pro X so that the originating device
can successfully share the flight.
Background GPS Function Might Cause Battery Drain

Issue: Background GPS function might cause additional battery drain.
Mitigation: Force quit FliteDeck Pro X after use to ensure that the background
