Divestiture includes Jeppesen, ForeFlight and other software units as company focuses on core programs.
Sold to private equity. This may not end well.
It definitely wont be good for us users if Foreflight and Jeppesen, shameful!
It won’t. Fortunately, there are now competitors and the products are maturing. I’ve stuck with Wingx Pro which continues to do the job well enough, and use other vendors for my Dynon panel. At a fraction of the cost of Foreflight/Jepp. They are not perfect, but when you consider we started with Jepp Binders and fat envelopes of updates every couple of months, we’ve come a long way. Jepp in whatever incarnation will have to deal with this reality as well.
