Terminal charts are published per a 14-day cycle which is usual in IFR chart circulation.

Jeppesen states on their website that the NavData pack is published according to the 28-day AIRAC cycle.

The NavData pack contains navigational charts, terrain/obstacle data, and data for RNP/LPV.

  • $\begingroup$ I will respectfully disagree. The AIRAC cycle is 28 days, which is a worldwide standard. Jepp chooses to publish charts every 14 days, which allows them to update a chart instead of issuing a NOTAM. However, procedures are updated on the normal AIRAC cycle which includes both the chart and data. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Agree with Timbo. That's an option they chose. Ivanantuns is right too, regarding the service content. You use Digital Terminal Charts on your iPad or a Windows device, and NavData is loaded into FMS. $\endgroup$
