About the Initial App Download
The FliteDeck Pro X app and data, including subsequent data updates, requires
2–6 gigabytes (GB) of available storage capacity on your iPad.
The variability in the storage capacity requirement is related to the size of your
FliteDeck Pro X data coverage area. Any additional data, such as Airport Moving
Map (AMM) or tailored data, also affect storage requirements.
After you download FliteDeck Pro X to your device, you must activate the license
and complete an initial download of data. Usually, the activation code and data
are downloaded from the Jeppesen server. Alternatively, you might look for an
email from JDMNotification sent to you by your EFB administrator. This email
includes instructions for completing the process.
Verify Trusted Developer
After you download FliteDeck Pro X for the first time, you might be required to
verify that Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc., is a trusted developer. To do so:
1. Tap Settings from the device Home Screen.
2. Tap General.
3. Tap Device Management.

Introduction
About App Updates
Data updates might be required when you update the app. Ensure that you have
the necessary time and bandwidth to perform a complete update.
NOTE: The time necessary to download updates depends on the speed of your
internet connection and the size of your FliteDeck Pro X data coverage
area.
When you update FliteDeck Pro X, the existing version of FliteDeck Pro X is
overwritten and registration information is automatically shared.
The following information is also preserved when updating FliteDeck Pro X:
• Customized global settings
• Customized in-app settings, including, route corridor, fleet selection, taxi on
landing settings, and screen brightness
• The active flight with any associated user waypoints and selected charts
• Saved Flights with any associated user waypoints and selected charts
• Publications including any Company manuals
Updating to 4.3.x
When updating to FliteDeck Pro X 4.3.x, those devices of operators who
subscribe to Airport Moving Map will display a Migrating Data message as the
AMM data base schema is updated. The schema is updated to work with the
latest application version.
IMPORTANT: Do not close the application during data migration.
Functionality of the new AMM capabilities, such as the Low Visibility layer, is fully
enabled with the next cycle download of the data.

What’s New in 4.3
SIGMETs Weather Layer
FliteDeck Pro X introduces the display of a SIGMETs weather layer provided by
The Weather Company. Forecasters at the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) issue
these enroute advisories on an as-needed basis. SIGMETs include advisories for:
• Convective and non-convective severe or extreme turbulence
• Non-Convective severe icing
• Dust and sand storms lowering visibility to below three miles
• Volcanic ash
FIGURE 1: SIGMETs weather layer on the enroute map

The steps you take to display SIGMETs in FliteDeck Pro X are the same steps
you take to display any other weather layer.
To display SIGMETs weather layer:
1. While viewing the enroute map, tap the Wx button.
2. Tap the SIGMETs weather layer from the list of weather layers.
3. When SIGMETs display on the map, tap a SIGMET area to view details about
it.

What’s New in 4.3
SIGMETs Weather Layer Considerations
The following are considerations about the display of SIGMETs:
• Each SIGMET has its own effectivity and expiration information within the data.
• A SIGMET can be issued at any time, and has a maximum forecast period of
four hours (six hours for hurricanes and volcanic ash).
• SIGMETs only show on the enroute map when they are effective.
ADS-B Traffic and Weather
FliteDeck Pro X can now connect to an ADS-B device to display position informa-
tion, weather (FIS-B), and traffic (TIS-B).
To determine whether this option is available to you, contact your EFB adminis-
trator or Jeppesen account manager.
Connecting to an ADS-B Device

FIGURE 4: ADS-B traffic (TFC) button states
About ADS-B Traffic Information on the Map
FliteDeck Pro X displays traffic information using cyan-colored symbols and text.
Traffic information on the enroute map includes:
• Relative Altitude - FliteDeck Pro X displays the relative altitude between
your current altitude and the traffic altitude in hundreds of feet, when
available. A plus sign (+) indicates that the traffic target is above your
current altitude and a minus sign (-) indicates it is below your current
altitude.
• Traffic Symbol - For traffic targets with heading information, FliteDeck Pro
X displays an ownship symbol pointing in the direction that the traffic is
moving. For stationary traffic targets, FliteDeck Pro X displays a diamond to
depict traffic targets.
• Up (Climbing) or Down (Descending) Arrow - FliteDeck Pro X displays
an up or down arrow to depict traffic climbing or descending. If the altitude
of the traffic is not changing, FliteDeck Pro X omits the arrow.
• Call Sign or Tail Number - FliteDeck Pro X displays the call sign or tail
number of traffic when it is available from the ADS-B broadcast.
FliteDeck Pro X provides ADS-B traffic information on the enroute map to help
maintain situational awareness during enroute flight. This functionality is not to be
used as the sole basis of traffic avoidance.
Hiding Distant Traffic on the Enroute Map
FliteDeck Pro X provides an option for you to declutter the map by hiding distant
traffic. Hiding distant traffic is especially useful when flying in busy airspace.
You can direct FliteDeck Pro X to hide traffic more than 15 NM laterally from your
current GPS location or 10,000 feet vertically from your current altitude.
To hide distant traffic on the enroute map:
1. Tap the Map Filter Menu button from the enroute map.
2. Scroll down the menu to the Traffic heading and switch Hide Distant Traffic to
ON.
