Revolutionary Electronic Flight Bag The Total Solution!
ChartCase software delivers practical and affordable paperless cockpit capability. Have all your charts right at your fingertips. Runs on most Windows computers.
Airborne Weather
Enjoy in-cockpit weather capability using the WxWorx receiver. Get real time weather overlay on your ChartCase ProfessionalTM charts. There is no complicated user interaction since the receiver automatically pulls weather data from the XM/WX satellite system. Now see NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, and even pop-up TFRs within moments. As always, the planned route and actual flight path is overlaid on these charts.
New InFlightTM User Interface
Designed for use in the cockpit, the In FlightTM mode provides large buttons allowing for easy program operation. Intuitive displays emulate traditional GPS operation. Eight predefined GPS pages provide comprehensive navigation information. Smart page formatting allows for split screen operation. You may define any combination of display pages in either the upper, or lower panel. When chart manipulation is required, a red boarder indicates which panel is active. Switching between panels is accomplished by the Toggle button. All buttons are large and easy to read. The display may be oriented in either portrait or landscape mode, thus maximizing chart readability.
Synthetic Vision HITS (Highway in the Sky)
To help you visualize your flight during the planning process and provide a virtual look ahead in flight, our high performance HITS feature displays the terrain and waypoint in stunning 3D format from the pilots perspective. Primary flight data is displayed for ground speed, altitude, and heading data. Also included are waypoints, airspace, and obstruction data. Surface mapping includes, vector chart, satellite topography and TAWS depiction.
Terrain Awareness Warning System
Continually monitors your aircraft flight parameters such as ground speed altitude and compares it to terrain and obstruction data, ChartCase Professional TM displays the surrounding terrain in a color coded format. Shown here, yellow indicates obstructions 100 to 1000 below your position and red shows obstructions from 100 below to above your aircraft.
Moving Map and More
Fly with exceptional positional awareness. Navigate with confidence. ChartCase TM, with a GPS receiver, shows your aircraft position right on top of the approach plate (and all other charts as well). All charts are precisely ''geo-referenced'' for accurate moving map and weather overlay depiction. Eliminate the tedium of calibrating your charts (required by the competitors) since ChartCaseTM geo-references all its charts.
Clearer than Paper Charts
And since ChartCaseTM Charts are digitized and re sampled for clear viewing on computer displays, they look better than the faded paper charts available from NACO. The wide magnification levels allow for easy chart interpretation on any screen configuration.
Geo Referenced Charts
Since geo referencing all charts each month is difficult and expensive (there are more than 12,000 plates), most other EFB vendors do not geo-reference their charts or have you do it. However, ChartCaseTM is one of the very few EFB software providers that geo references all it's charts including approach plates, Sectional, WAC, Low and High Enroute and LandSat charts. This means you can track your aircraft position on any of these charts without the error prone and tedious task of doing it yourself.
VFR/IFR Charts & Terminal Procedures
All charts can be viewed over a wide magnification range. The charts are linked to the route, a single click steps through your route waypoint displaying the desired charts instantly. ChartCaseTM delivers optional low and high altitude enroute charts, in a bright and clear format. Since the charts are linked to the route, the correct chart is displayed with just one single click. ChartCaseTM offers optionally all NACO terminal procedures including all arrival and departure procedures for the entire U.S.
Satellite Photo-imagery mapping
To help you recognize the surrounding area (or visualize the land below a cloud deck) ChartCase ProfessionalTM provides actual photographic representations of the earth below your flight for the ultimate method of verifying your position with visual checkpoints.
Check List
Standard on ChartCase ProfessionalTM, the checklist option allows you to create virtually any checklists for your aircraft. It's easy to use and ensures all items are checked for each operation.
Optional WxWorx Receiver
This receiver pulls weather data from the XM/WX satellite system for near real-time information for use in the cockpit. It requires a current or new ChartCase ProfessionalTM subscription. Weather data access requires a separate subscription (not included in purchase price) directly available from XM/WX.
Optional GPS Receiver
GPS receivers from Microsoft and DeLorme provide precision location data. Available Bluetooth GPS receivers provides a cable free option for your ChartCase Express/ProfessionalTM moving map. These 12 channel receivers are WAAS capable. They are small size for placement on your glare shield. Battery life ranges from 6 to 8 hours. A cigarette lighter charger adapter is included.
Legal for Cockpit use
FAA AC120 states Class 1 EFB systems may be used on the ground and during flight as a source of primary or supplemental information. The FAA does not distinguish between paper or electronic charts. Since ChartCaseTM falls under the FAA Advisory AC 120-76A, ChartCaseTM may be used for the required charts. AC120-76A defines Class 1 EFB as a completely portable device with no permanent connection to any aircraft system. Portable Class 1 EFBs can be temporarily connected to an aircrafts electrical power system.
Full Feature Flight Planner Included
Save money by eliminating the purchase of a separate flight planner. Fly with optimized flight plans. ChartCaseTM Professional includes premium flight planning tools such as routing, filing, and powerful weather products.
The premium flight planning takes full advantages of the Internet and allows complete flight planning either off line or on-line. You'll get the latest DUATS weather, file flight plans, print trip kits, plan your route, compute your weight and balance and more. When you are ready to go, simply click on the In-flight button and you'll have the ideal ''moving map'' interface for the cockpit.
Premium Graphic METAR Weather
Graphically displays color coded METAR weather for unprecedented ease of interpretation. This innovative weather presentation take the guess work out of weather briefings. At each METAR reporting point a color coded WX box displays the current flight conditions. Green for VFR, Yellow for MVFR and Red for IFR. Flight conditions are user definable. In addition to flight conditions, wind barbs, temperature and dew point spread are also graphically depicted.
Premium Profile View
In addition to the plan view weather, the Profile view also shows cloud bases, airspace, winds (in the correct FAA format), terrain, waypoints, route and MEA altitudes.
Terminal Instrument Procedures
The flight planner includes all NACO terminal instrument procedures, including all arrivals and departures for the entire U.S. Selection is simple. Just choose the region or the airport and select your instrument procedure from the depicted list.
VFR WAC and Sectional Charts
Plan your flights with all VFR charts. All charts can be viewed over a wide magnification range. The charts are linked to the route. A single click steps through your route waypoint displaying the desired charts instantly.
