Our Aviation Database (JAD) is composed of over one million records and was built from the ground up to serve the unique needs of Jeppesen's worldwide customer base. Each 28-day cycle, our flight information analysts meticulously edit and verify an average of nearly 150,000 JAD transactions. Only original source documents are analyzed. No government-compiled databases are used. Information is gathered from 220 separate agencies worldwide and then cross-checked using multiple sources. An additional integrity check occurs as analysts review hard copy reports looking for errors or omissions. Then, the data is double-checked by computer for reasonability in comparison to other data and against the thousands of business rules built into the database.

JAD and other Jeppesen databases support the industry's need for high precision data. The data is making possible advanced navigation concepts like RNP, LNAV/VNAV, and synthetic vision.
