European Flight Planning<br />

Operating within Europe can be<br />

difficult from a flight planning<br />

perspective. Fortunately, Jeppesen<br />

has a number of features within its<br />

JetPlan ® -based applications to assist<br />

you in simplifying the process.<br />

<strong>The</strong> complex airway structure in<br />

Europe is managed by the<br />

European Organization for the<br />

Safety of Air Navigation<br />

(EUROCONTROL). In an effort to<br />

better utilize the congested<br />

airspace, EUROCONTROL has<br />

strict routing requirements that<br />

must be followed. Flights operating<br />

within the General Air Traffic (GAT)<br />

airspace need to be able to flight<br />

plan efficiently and utilize<br />

compliant routing and altitudes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> routing requirements for<br />

Europe are outlined in the Route<br />

Availability Document (RAD). This<br />

is the source of all routes to be<br />

flown within Europe for flights<br />

operating above FL 245.<br />

Getting an air traffic control (ATC)<br />

flight plan accepted by<br />

EUROCONTROL can be a<br />

frustration for crews, especially if<br />

they are away from their home base<br />

and without access to charts or<br />

other flight planning tools. With<br />

this in mind, Jeppesen created the<br />

European Route Availability<br />

Document (ERAD) functionality<br />

within its premier flight planning<br />

engine, JetPlan. <strong>The</strong> goal is to make<br />

the lives of aircrews easier by<br />

reducing the effort required to<br />

obtain a first time ATC flyable<br />

flight plan.<br />

To accomplish this, Jeppesen<br />

developed functionality within<br />

the JetPlan engine to import<br />

and process the published<br />

EUROCONTROL RAD annexes,<br />

and apply the relevant rules and<br />

restrictions during the computation<br />

of the flight plan. At the same time,<br />

fuel optimization is still considered,<br />

so RAD compliance is not at the<br />

expense of economy.<br />

Both the JetPlan.com and<br />

JetPlanner applications provide the<br />

user with an easy method to access<br />

the ERAD functionality.<br />

For JetPlan.com, select the radio<br />

button on the flight planning applet<br />

to enable the ERAD option.<br />

2<br />

JetPlan.com<br />

For JetPlanner, simply check the<br />

box on the flight planning request<br />

window labeled “Include ERAD.”<br />

JetPlanner<br />

After running your flight plan, it is<br />

always a good idea to test file it<br />

with the EUROCONTROL’s Central<br />

Flow Management Unit (CFMU)<br />

system to ensure it is accepted by<br />

ATC on the day of your flight. This<br />

can be done on JetPlan.com by<br />

selecting the CFMU Validation<br />

option from the drop-down menu<br />

on the flight plan or the Dispatch<br />

Center screen.<br />

JetPlan.com<br />

In conjunction with the Jeppesen<br />

Preferred Departure and Arrival<br />

Procedures (PDAP) Database,<br />

which allows JetPlan to factor in<br />

unique terminal airspace dynamics,<br />

the ERAD functionality has<br />

advanced computerized flight<br />

planning. Jeppesen is confident<br />

its customers operating within<br />

Europe will greatly benefit from<br />

this new feature. For more<br />

information, please contact your<br />

Account Manager.


Jeppesen Global Account Management Team<br />

Exceptional Resources to Deliver World-Class Customer Service<br />

Jeppesen Global Account Managers<br />

Arun Sharma, Dave Ancora, and<br />

Will Lott, who form the San Jose,<br />

California customer service team,<br />

are dedicated to ensuring business<br />

aviation customer satisfaction<br />

across all products and services.<br />

Each manager serves as the single<br />

point of contact for customers<br />

within a defined geographic<br />

region. Clients deal directly,<br />

and exclusively, with their<br />

assigned Global Account Manager,<br />

making for simple, direct, and<br />

streamlined access to all<br />

customer-specific concerns.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Global Account Management<br />

team employs the latest tools in<br />

order to enhance and ensure a<br />

positive customer experience with<br />

Jeppesen. <strong>The</strong> new, proprietary Trip<br />

Cost Estimator provides quick,<br />

accurate, and complete fee<br />

information for international trips<br />

operated under both private and<br />

In addition to its Global Account<br />

Management Team, Jeppesen<br />

recognizes that certain customers<br />

may require a dedicated, single<br />

point-of-contact, customer service<br />

resource to better serve their<br />

non-scheduled commercial flight<br />

rules. <strong>The</strong> Jeppesen World Fuel<br />

Services’ Fuel Availability / Price<br />

Quoting System allows direct<br />

customer access to competitive jet<br />

fuel pricing on a worldwide basis.<br />

<strong>The</strong> team is particularly excited<br />

about the upcoming addition<br />

of the WebEx web-conferencing<br />

technology to better assist and<br />

educate customers on two of its<br />

more popular flight planning<br />

products: the Internet-based<br />

JetPlan.com and PC-based<br />

JetPlanner applications. <strong>The</strong><br />

WebEx tool represents the latest<br />

Strategic Account Management<br />

A More Focused Approach<br />

operational needs. With this in<br />

mind, Jeppesen created the role of<br />

Strategic Account Manager.<br />

Jeppesen hired Sally Swanson as<br />

the first of several Strategic<br />

Account Managers. She is<br />

responsible for managing<br />

relationships and business with<br />

Jeppesen’s large fractional<br />

customer accounts. Sally has<br />

progressive experience working<br />

with large, multinational clients,<br />

and brings more than 12 years of<br />

sales management, marketing, and<br />

business development experience to<br />

Jeppesen. Previously, Sally worked<br />

3<br />

in remote-site customer assistance<br />

by allowing direct and seamless<br />

access to a customer’s PC. This<br />

new tool facilitates the training<br />

experience, while at the same<br />

time allows the operator to<br />

avoid the time commitment and<br />

expenses usually associated with<br />

on-site training.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Global Account Management<br />

team is ready, and well-resourced<br />

to consistently deliver a truly<br />

exceptional customer service<br />

experience encompassing the entire<br />

suite of Jeppesen Business Aviation<br />

products and services. <strong>The</strong> team<br />

can be reached directly Monday-<br />

Friday from the USA or Canada by<br />

dialing toll-free 800.358.6468, or<br />

internationally at 408.961.2825,<br />

and selecting <strong>Corporate</strong> Sales<br />

and Customer Service (prompt<br />

number five) from the phone menu.<br />

<strong>The</strong> team’s email address is<br />

itpcustomerservice@jeppesen.com.<br />

in the software development,<br />

medical imaging, and financial<br />

services industries. She is a<br />

graduate of the University of<br />

Kansas with a Bachelors in<br />

Organizational Communications,<br />

and she earned her MBA from the<br />

Update on Moscow Airports<br />

Please be advised that effective 01<br />

January 2006, the Airport Authority at<br />

Moscow Vnukovo (UUWW) will be<br />

making all listed services mandatory,<br />

regardless of the actual requirements<br />

for a specific flight. Also, the Airport<br />

Authority will be increasing all fees by<br />

another 30 percent; this will make<br />

Vnukovo the most expensive airport<br />

in Europe for business aviation.<br />

Alternatives to Vnukovo include<br />

Domodedovo (UUDD), while less<br />

expensive, it is another 30 minutes<br />

driving time to downtown Moscow,<br />

and Sheremetyevo (UUEE), which is a<br />

hub airport for Aeroflot with minimal<br />

facilities for VIP passengers. Please<br />

contact Jeppesen ITP for more<br />

information when planning your<br />

next trip to the Moscow area.<br />

Jeppesen Adds Ad Hoc<br />

NOTAM Filtering Capability<br />

Recently, Jeppesen added the<br />

ability to apply a NOTAM filter to<br />

ad hoc NOTAM requests through<br />

the JetPlan.com interface. <strong>The</strong><br />

capability will be added to the<br />

JetPlanner software in the near<br />

future. Users have been able to<br />

apply NOTAM filtering for en route<br />

weather requests for quite some<br />

time, but now have the ability to<br />

apply them for individual airport<br />

and FIR NOTAM requests.<br />

NOTAM filters can be created,<br />

modified and deleted using<br />

JetPlan.com through the “Customer<br />

Database” section. By selecting<br />

JetPlan.com Change NOTAM Filter<br />

“WXE” within the database section,<br />

users can then select “NOTAM<br />

Filters” to create a new filter, or<br />

modify or delete an existing filter.<br />

When creating a filter, users can<br />

manage the NOTAM data that they<br />

4<br />

JetPlan.com Apply NOTAM Filter<br />

receive by selecting the desired<br />

NOTAM types and “Q-Codes”.<br />

Users can also filter on altitude<br />

range and days of the week<br />

of operation. This can help an<br />

operator sort through much<br />

of the non-pertinent NOTAM<br />

information and focus on the<br />

information most relevant to the<br />

current operation.<br />

Once a filter has been established,<br />

it can be applied to a NOTAM<br />

request through the JetPlan.com<br />

Airport Weather graphical user<br />

interface (GUI).<br />

This new functionality will reduce<br />

the amount of irrelevant NOTAM<br />

information that you have to<br />

sift through before your next<br />

flight. You can create as many<br />

NOTAM filters as you wish,<br />

so that different filters can<br />

be used for different flights.<br />

For more information or<br />

assistance with using feature,<br />

please contact your Global<br />

Account Manager.<br />

Spotlight: IAM Jet Centre, Barbados<br />

<strong>The</strong> island of<br />

Barbados remains<br />

a very popular<br />

vacation spot for<br />

high-end tourism,<br />

and boasts some<br />

of the world’s finest five-star resorts<br />

and villas along its beautiful<br />

coastline. Indeed, Barbados was<br />

one of only a few destinations<br />

worldwide to maintain regular service<br />

from British Airways Concorde for<br />

over 20 years until its retirement in<br />

2003. With this upscale market in<br />

mind, the International Aircraft<br />

Management (IAM) Jet Centre was<br />

opened in December, 2004 at<br />

Grantley Adams International<br />

Airport (TBPB). <strong>The</strong> two-story, 6,000<br />

square foot facility was completed<br />

after 12 months of construction,<br />

and is designed to offer a<br />

comprehensive range of passenger<br />

and crew amenities with the same<br />

style and standards of an elegant,<br />

five-star hotel. <strong>The</strong>se features<br />

include exclusive in-house Customs<br />

and Immigration, private conference<br />

rooms, plush passenger and crew<br />

lounges, shower facilities, high<br />

speed Internet service, state-of-the-art<br />

x-ray and electronic security screening<br />

capabilities, and controlled access<br />

to ensure the ultimate privacy of<br />

their guests.<br />

Guests arriving on multi-million<br />

dollar private jets to stay at elite<br />

resorts and villas can have an equally<br />

comfortable experience at the airport.<br />

Every service offered by IAM is<br />

aimed towards its customers and<br />

how they can best serve their needs.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir customer-centric focus and<br />

passion about service is a prime<br />

reason why Jeppesen is proud to<br />

have IAM as a member of its<br />

Preferred Handler Network.<br />

<strong>The</strong> idea to develop a fixed based<br />

operator (FBO) in Barbados goes<br />

back to the establishment of IAM,<br />

Inc., by former Eastern Airlines<br />

executive Paul Worrell in 1989. In a<br />

region of the world where dedicated<br />

VIP service for business aircraft<br />

was virtually non-existent, IAM saw<br />

an opportunity to provide reliable<br />

and focused handling services to<br />

this growing market. Not long<br />

after starting the business, IAM<br />

was assisting aircraft in several<br />

neighboring islands through the<br />

development of a network of local<br />

agents trained and supervised by<br />

the Barbados team. Today, the IAM<br />

Caribbean network extends across<br />

the Caribbean from the Bahamas<br />

out-islands in the north to Trinidad<br />

and Guyana in the far south, covering<br />

some 65 airports in the region. By<br />

2003, IAM determined the “critical<br />

mass” required for a successful<br />

FBO business model in Barbados<br />

was achieved and the project went<br />

forward. <strong>The</strong> decision to proceed<br />

included the growth of the market<br />

over the years, the depth of local<br />

expertise acquired by IAM which is<br />

unique to the region, and a strong<br />

business reputation and track<br />

record in Barbados that could be<br />

demonstrated to local government<br />

and financial institutions.<br />

Last year, in time for the busy<br />

Caribbean winter season, the IAM<br />

Jet Centre began 24-hour operations.<br />

IAM Jet Centre, Barbados u<br />

<strong>The</strong> positive feedback from<br />

passengers and crew alike was<br />

immediate. Now with its second<br />

winter season in full swing, the<br />

new facility certainly enhances IAM’s<br />

reputation for its comprehensive<br />

handling and fuel services.<br />

In addition to IAM’s primary<br />

business aviation role, the new<br />

facility also provides special<br />

premium services for British<br />

Airways. <strong>The</strong>ir First Class passengers<br />

traveling to London can check-in at<br />

the FBO instead of the commercial<br />

terminal. Once checked-in, these<br />

passengers enjoy access to IAM’s<br />

concierge service in a dedicated<br />

lounge, and are later transported<br />

directly to the steps of the BA<br />

aircraft in Mercedes Benz coaches.<br />

IAM describes this program as a<br />

taste of business aviation for airline<br />
