JeppView developments
The long awaited interface for the Garmin GPSMAP 695 and 696 which was released at Oshkosh this year has finally been implemented by Jeppesen Europe - although at this moment only for IFR charts. VFR charts should follow in the not too distant future. Geo-referenced approach charts show the position of the aircraft on the approach chart during flight thereby enhancing situational awareness.

Charts can be zoomed and scrolled. Use of JeppView on the Garmin GPS 695 / 696 requires a ChartView Key ( to be purchased from www.flygarmin.com ) and a JeppView bundle for Garmin - contact us for more details or come to the shop for a demonstration.

more JeppView.....
Did you know that there is also a JeppView app for the iPad? Even better the app is free! Now JeppView users ( both IFR and VFR ) can use JeppView on the iPad. Why carry kilos of paper with you when you can have all you need in electronic form?

Scrolling, zooming and panning could not be easier - curious? Come and see the system working in the shop. |

AeroPlus
|
|
Is a new programme designed to ease the load of fleet administrators large and small, from one aircraft upwards. AeroPlus handles almost all administrative tasks varying from an online reservation system to a complete integration with Exact Online including automatic invoicing. Technical logs and pilot logbooks are a piece of cake. Students can be coupled to instructors or particular aircraft types.
Using the iPhone/iPad app aircraft can be booked online and students can be coupled to instructors and technical logs completed using tacho- or Hobbsmeter details and the number of landings can be recorde for easy invoicing. AeroPlus is an online application that runs on Windows or Mac computers. |

Take part in our photo competition....
It could not be simpler - buy a Ko and photograph Ko in any environment you like - but make it the best photograph you have ever taken!
You can buy Ko online at Stichting Hoogvliegers and The Pilot Shop. All proceeds from the sale of Ko go to Stichting Hoogvliegers - 100%. By purchasing a Ko you are automatically a winner - you are supporting the work of Stichting Hoogvliegers.
Buy a Ko Piloot (from Stichting Hoogvliegers or The Pilot Shop) and take photos of Ko. Send your entries to ko@pilotshop.nl. Closing date for this competition is Saturday 16 april 2011.
On Satruday 7th May 2011 we will announce the winners during "The Pilot Shop's OpenHouse" where the best photos will be on display. The three winners will each receive a voucher to the value of € 250,--, to be spent in The Pilot Shop.
Ko Piloot is the mascot of the Stichting Hoogvliegers. For more information about the work of Stichting Hoogvliegers surf to www.stichtinghoogvliegers.nl . They really makes a difference and can only continue with the support of sponsors and pilots. The expression on the faces of these children after they have flown an aircraft themselves speaks volumes and is a fantastic reward for the pilots who donate their time and aircraft to make it all possible.
