Jeppesen has received a key acceptance letter from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), thereby allowing Jeppesen electronic charts to be integrated quickly and efficiently with onboard aviation navigation systems.

The AC20-148 Reusable Software Component (RSC) acceptance letter is only the second such letter issued by the FAA, and is the first RSC for a platform-independent navigation component. Jeppesen's RSC acceptance allows navigation system developers to incorporate Jeppesen electronic charts quickly and efficiently. An RSC "pre-certifies" a software component, eliminating the need to re-certify the internal elements of the component each time it is implemented onto a system. This greatly reduces the overall certification requirement for systems hosting Jeppesen charts.
