Another Jepp Question

That is exactly the point.

Well I just called Jepp.

They told me I did not have to pay twice, but I did need 2 instances(downloads),of nav data.

Not sure why but it was about $500 less. They said price went down.

Will see what happens in JDM.

THANKS

Steve,

I'm not sure that's a good idea, Steve, since Jepp might then find a way to block our method to get 2 downloads for the price of 1. As mentioned, when I asked Jepp for 2 downloads to cover my IFD540/IFD440 pair, they wanted an additional 30% on top of the single unit subscription. I suggest you talk to Christine. I just shared the info in the forum so other customers know how it works. I would be most upset if Jepp changed things so that it was no longer possible. They gouge us enough as it is.

I understood that once you have uploaded one stick you cannot reuse it again. No, I'm not saying that.  I just said that you only need one subscription with Jeppesen.  If you have two IFDs, each cycle I would expect JDM to show that you have two downloads available.  You would download from JDM once for each IFD onto a separate USB stick.  Then, go to the aircraft with the two USB sticks and load the IFDs. Sorry Steve, but I think you need to check your facts on that. Not sure how Jepp would know. AFAIK, the IFDs are not registered with Jepp, just the a/c reg. Perhaps true if one orders the "Jeppesen Services Suite + IFR" bundle in which case Jepp might just add the 2nd download on request since all in-panel units + IFD100 + IFD Trainer are all covered in the bundle. But that costs a small fortune. In any case, I have an IFD540 & IFD440 and a single navdata subscription with Jepp. There is only one download available per update on JDM. When I asked Jepp about adding a 2nd IFD on the same registration in order to get 2 downloads, they said I needed to order (& pay) a 2nd subscription. Christine gave me the tip on how to make the 2nd usb stick and it works.

FWIW - When I talked with Jeppesen and set up my data service two years ago; Jeppesen indicated that the service was on a per tail basis. They explained that if I added a second IFD to the same airplane (which I have not done), my subscription would allow the updating of both IFDs for the same fee.
