Can someone explain this?
What is the diff between Jepp Mobile TC and Mobile FD?
What is the diff between Jepp Mobile TC and Mobile FD?
JeppTC only displays terminal charts. JeppFD displays terminal charts and dynamic enroute data but does not yet legally replace IFR enroute charts.
JeppFD was designed to replace TC but due to some technical and developmental challenges that has not yet happened. JeppFD has a lot of issues which have not been resolved so I chose to just use JeppTC instead. Since both terminal and enroute data is available in JeppFD, they had to sacrifice some memory so terminal charts are a little fuzzy and not as crisp/clear/easy to read as in JeppTC.
Interesting...is it possible to have both installed and switch back and forth, or does that double the size of the stored data?
Jeppesen TC is simply a plate viewer. Arrival/departure procedures, approch plates, airport diagrams, etc.
Jeppesen FD does all of the above plus enroute charts.
Why both? Probably something to do with 121 and 135 op specs.
