Jeppeson

One question would be: is insurance a factor ? Unlike MSFS, where
moving all the world's bridges to one location was just a humorous
software goof, Jeppesen could probably get sued big time if you ran
into something misplaced on their GPS data.

I dunno. I read something about another company that had bad data and a crash
occurred partly in consequence of that, and yet they seem to have gotten away
with it. Those posts could have been trolls, so I don't know for sure.

In theory the PIC is responsible for flight safety and cannot easily pass off
his problems to other parties. However, that concerns mostly his license, not
all forms of potential liability. So I'm not sure what the insurance
situation would be. Jeppesen is part of Boeing, so it presumably has very
deep pockets.

I don't understand why the only source is Jeppesen. What happened to the U.S.
government, the primary supplier of the source data?
