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 />

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 />
