Seattle Avionics Charts and Plates Included in New iPad App

 

World Fuel Services (WFS) announced a product integration today

with Seattle Avionics Software (SA) to bundle SA charts and plates in WFS’ new iPad app.

 

As a result of this unique agreement, charts from industry leader SA will be available at no cost to WFS

users. Approximately 30,000 charts will be available for 51 countries outside of North America, plus over

12,000 in North America, as well as 4,500 hand‐drawn U.S. airport diagrams, and all chart data will be

conveniently bundled into WFS’ iPad app.

 

“We have worked together to integrate SA charts with our dynamic overlay maps,” said Jeff Briand, VP,

global trip support for WFS. “By integrating SA’s ChartData in the app, we are making it easy for users to

understand their options with real‐time weather and approach plates. And all chart information and

flight plans are available offline so pilots can generate complex flight plans from anywhere – an

especially valuable tool for a variety of mission types.” Briand stresses that the availability of offline

data, will make this app an especially valuable pilot resource for a variety of mission types.

 

The approach plates available in the app can take minutes off pilot approaches. Seattle Avionics

ChartDataTM data includes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) geo‐referenced data for 60 countries

with approach‐certified DO200A charts, 40,000 CFII approach plates, and hand‐drawn diagrams

representing every paved airport in the U.S. The app will also include international approach plates and

data for 50 more countries covering Europe, Australia, and the Caribbean. Most importantly, Seattle

Avionics ChartDataTM data is updated and re‐certified every 28 days to ensure accuracy.

 

“We selected SA because the breadth of their content, their map quality, and their consistently updated,

accurate data,” said Briand. “Our new iPad app will provide regular chart updates, automatic trip kits,

and many more unique features to deliver an unmatched user experience.” For more information, visit www.wfscorp.com.
