JeppView 3.0 / FliteDeck 3.0 Installation Instructions

To install

  1. Make sure you are in Windows mode on the EFB (Electronic Flight Bag).
  2. UNINSTALL any previous versions of FliteDeck and JeppView and delete the Jeppview.ini from the C:\Windows or C:\WINNT directory. You get 3 CDs, which must be installed in the following order:
    1. JeppView FliteDeck program CD.
    2. Electronic Chart Data (ECD) CD 1.
    3. ECD CD 2.
  3. Be sure the CD-Rom is plugged into the computer and insert the JeppView FliteDeck CD into the CD-Rom drive. The setup process should start automatically.
  4. After the company name and serial number are put in you will be prompted to choose whether to install JeppView, FliteDeck or both. On the EFB FliteDeck is the only required program, but ADR recommends that you install JeppView as well. If you plan (or anticipate the potential need to) print charts from the EFB JeppView must be installed.
  5. At the end of the JeppView FliteDeck program installation, Setup stops and waits for your ECD CD 1.
    • The first time the ECD CD 1 is installed a screen should appear that shows your coverage codes. If your codes are not present check the box near the bottom of the setup window and click next then enter the coverage codes as they are displayed on the outside of the JeppView CD holder.
  6. Be sure to select FULL INSTALL in order to view the terminal charts from your hard drive.
  7. The last screen of the ECD CD 1 install will prompt you to start the ECD CD 2 installation.
  8. After the ECD CD 2 is done installing you will be prompted to restart the system.
  9. Please reboot the computer and JeppView and/or FliteDeck will be ready to run.

FliteDeck Setup Program

When FliteDeck is run for the first time a separate setup program launches that allows FliteDeck to be configured to your preferences. During this setup there are a few setting that could cause FliteDeck to function improperly (or not function at all) if set improperly. Use the following steps to properly setup FliteDeck:

  1. When the FliteDeck setup program runs hit the "Interview" button in the lower left corner
  2. The first choice screen in FliteDeck Setup prompts the user to choose whether FliteDeck will be used as a chart viewer or position information will be included. If you plan to use FliteDeck with position information please follow the lettered steps below, if not please skip to the next step number.
    1. Before proceeding be certain that you have your GPS manufacturer and Model available and that it is plugged into the system. If you don't have this information or your GPS is unavailable please use FliteDeck as a chart viewer and rerun the setup program when you have this information available.
    2. On this page please select the option "I want to use my GPS." Select the appropriate GPS vendor and model from the supplied lists.
    3. After the GPS model is selected FliteDeck needs to check for the location of the GPS, select "Check for GPS now." If Jeppesen cannot find the GPS this will have to be setup manually from the GPS tab in the main FliteDeck setup window. Please consult a technician for this setup process.
    4. If a GPS device was found FliteDeck should now be able to use a GPS position.
    5. To change any of these setting later the interview can be rerun or use the GPS tab in FliteDeck Setup.
  3. The following choice allows for the selection of the layout of FliteDeck. If FliteDeck will be used in landscape mode at all ADR recommends that "Default layout" be used. For those users who will only be using FliteDeck in portrait mode either layout can be used. In the "Default layout" navigation and control buttons will be along both sides of the screen, but in "Jeppesen EFB layout" the buttons will be along the top. ADR still prefers the "Default layout" but preferences may change from user to user.
  4. The next choice allows the user to remove the onscreen keyboard. Without some from of keyboard it will be next to impossible to select different airports. ADR recommends that anyone with a Tablet PC or Convertible keep the virtual keyboard available.
  5. The following choice allows including or excluding function key labels in FliteDeck. This choice is user preference.

FliteDeck is now setup for use on your EFB. If you need to change any settings later FliteDeck setup can be rerun later from Windows mode on the EFB. Go to Start->Programs->Jeppesen->JeppView FliteDeck3->FliteDeck Setup.

De-Activating Your Software

Your license allows installation of any combination of JeppView and FliteDeck on up to four computers per subscription. If any of the following situations should occur the JeppView/FliteDeck subscription must be deactivated on the computer that is experiencing the problems:

  • You are replacing your computer and want to install on another computer.
  • Your computer or hard drive fails and requires service.
  • You are about to perform major modifications to your EFB.

(In the last 2 instances, JeppView FliteDeck may not recognize your EFB as the same EFB when you get it working again. If you are planning major service on your EFB, deactivate FliteDeck first. If your EFB goes down unexpectedly, call Jeppesen Customer service for help.)

There are 2 ways to deactivate:

  1. Uninstalling the programs and selecting YES when the deactivation wizard asks if you would like to deactivate JeppView FliteDeck.
  2. If you installed JeppView FliteDeck in their default folders you can execute one of the following executable files:
    • C:\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3\deactivate.exe.
    • C:\jeppesen\JeppView3\deactivate.exe.
