Electronic Flight Bag Comprehensive Solution For Selecting An Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)
Technology onboard aircraft has steadily improved to the point that virtually every major component of the aircraft is monitored. Yet paper has continued to be present inside the cockpit in the form of checklists, flight plans, manuals and airport approach procedures — all part of the pilot’s flight bag.
The electronic flight bag (EFB) can change that. The EFB brings technology to the flight deck by utilizing electronic versions of important documents. From simple solutions such as soft copies of required manuals to real-time weather displays, electronic approach plates and airfield diagrams, the capabilities of the EFB have grown rapidly.
Sabre® AirCentre™ eFlight Manager is a comprehensive solution designed to leverage our expertise in airline operations, consultative processes, industry affiliations and project management to provide you with an end-to-end EFB program.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced communication by including the aircraft, regardless of size or type of aircraft, into the company network. There is a wealth of data that can be captured from the aircraft and integrated into other company systems in near real time without any human intervention.
- Reduce delays through enhanced communication of data between your flight crew and your maintenance department. EFB systems now provide an electronic version of the paper-based maintenance techlog. The electronic version is designed to accommodate any aircraft type and provide capability to identify and find the mechanical problem description, presenting a clearer picture of the situation that helps determine if a component is deferrable.
- Reduce costs; the accepted industry average cost reduction for migrating from paper-based to a paperless process is approximately US$150,000 to US$200,000 per year per aircraft.
