Boeing To Install Class 3 Electronic Flight Bags For Jet Airways

Kuala Lumpur: Boeing is to install Boeing's Class 3 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) on 10 new 777-300ERs belonging to Mumbai-based Jet Airways, it was announced Thursday.
Delivery of the planes is set to begin in early 2007, said Boeing.
Jet Airways will be the first airline in India to operate a Class 3 EFB.
EFB is a core technology in Boeing's vision of an e-Enabled air-transport system in which data, information and knowledge can be shared easily across an aviation enterprise.
Certified for all phases of operation on the ground and in the air, Boeing's Class 3 EFB is integrated with an airplane's avionics.
Also, data is available to both certified and operationally approved programmes.
Using software developed by Boeing, its subsidiary, Jeppesen, and Optimization Technologies, as well as hardware from Astronautics Corp. of America (ACA), the Boeing EFB digitally delivers vital charts and manuals that pilots need to fly an airplane, giving them quick access to the information they require.
