SolidFX readers display Jepp charts
Pilots who are tired of carrying around kilos of paper terminal charts might like digital chart readers

Pilots who are tired of carrying around kilos of paper terminal charts might want visit Jeppesen (Booth No. 336) and SolidFX (Booth No. 898) here at EBACE to check out the SolidFX FX8 and FX10 digital chart readers. The FX8 and wireless connectable FX8-G are the newest paperless-cockpit devices from SolidFX that store and display Jeppesen IFR terminal charts, eliminating the need to carry paper charts.

The larger FX10 ($1,595) with a 10.2-inch display was the first SolidFX unit to market, but now the 8.1-inch FX8 ($1,195) offers similar capability at a lower cost and lighter weight. The FX8 comes in two equally priced versions, the FX8-G with wireless connectivity and FX8 without.
