Don't just use your WxWorx receiver in the airplane. Take it home and ChartCase will show you the weather there too.

Order an extra satellite antenna and enjoy near real-time weather display in your home office. Many customers place their WxWorx system in a south-facing window and get a "Good Locked" signal quality.

Just remember to grab your WxWorx receiver after your next flight as you lock up the hangar.

While you are running ChartCase from home to update your data, use the [Weather] [Start XM/Wx] menu option to display current conditions.

ChartCase Version 5 Adds Traffic Display

ChartCase Professional now has Live Traffic capability!
See what you've been missing! Get traffic information on your FlightPrep EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) system straight from your XRX and without the need for TIS coverage. Zaon and FlightPrep have teamed up to provide highly-accurate traffic information overlaid on the same screen you are already using.

Hooking up an ZAON XRX to your EFB is simple and easy. Available in wired or wireless Bluetooth configurations, the XRX provides traffic information that the FlightPrep can read and display on the moving map and status display. ChartCase graphically shows the three nearest threats. The clear, concise display helps you focus your search on where to look to See and Avoid other aircraft.

Plain Language Router makes it easy to directly enter your desired routings. If you know exactly what path you want to file, use the [Route] Plain Language Router menu option in Golden Eagle Plus, ChartKey and ChartCase Professional. Are you short on oxygen or not equipped? Simply enter "KUAO *v-9000 KSAC" and the system will build a valid airways route from Aurora to Sacramento Executive with a maximum MEA of 9000' Also routes over Jet routes and GPS Direct. Try it in new Golden Eagle Plus, ChartKey & ChartCase Professional Version 5 software!

Much Faster Startup in Golden Eagle, Golden Eagle Plus, ChartKey & ChartCase Professional new Version 5 too. The new program now takes advantage of your computer's processing power to load charts, data, plates, TFRs, weather and winds aloft while you start building your route.

The most complete, best value EFB system available.

ChartBook comes complete with a portable GPS receiver. Imagine all this capability to advance and update your cockpit.

ChartBook is the result of many months of work building the best ready-to-use system available. FlightPrep sourced a touch screen tablet system with a convertible, rotating display. We worked with the manufacturer to upgrade their specifications yielding a fast, responsive platform for our ChartCase software.

We created the exclusive Flight Definition display, available only on ChartBook! We installed Solid State Disk (SSD) to eliminate any altitude or mechanical reliability concerns. We integrated a portable remote GPS to provide position information for the moving map display. All these features and still under $2000? Say Hello to ChartBook! See our advertisements in AOPA Pilot and Plane & Pilot magazine. Review the features and get more with ChartBook.

"My evaluation unit had an upgraded screen with increased brightness (a $200 option). It was easily the brightest and clearest display I have seen on any battery-powered EFB- it worked well even in direct sunlight (at full brightness, I could use it with sunglasses). I highly recommend it to anyone considering ChartBook." John Ruley, Plane & Pilot, Dec 2009
