The material presented in this section, combined with the information in section
10.70 - EFB Controls and Displays, should provide the operator with enough
knowledge to make use of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and its applications.
There are many simple, intuitive operations that are not covered in these sections.
These basic operations are assumed to be understood by the user. The information
presented here is not intended to be an analogy of every step within an application,
nor is it provided as a complete narrative of each function within the EFB. The
ability to customize the EFB and its applications makes it appear differently for
each customer and therefore an in-depth narrative of system operation is not
possible.
The electronic flight bag is an operating system with a suite of applications
designed to assist the flight crew with routine tasks, enhance security, and reduce
the reliance on paper documents. The flight crew uses the EFB display units
located in the left and right side panels. The display units operate independently
of each other, but can also display information from the off-side unit, exchange
data with the FMC, and send information directly to the flight deck printer or an
EFB storage location.
Under typical flight conditions, the majority of pilot interaction consists of
manipulating bezel keys or using the touch screen on the display unit to move back
and forth among applications, or within applications, and to display, send or print
data. In addition, the flight crew can interact with the EFB using the cursor control
device (CCD) or an optional full size keyboard.
The suite of applications available to the flight crew is selected by the airline. The
presentation can be customized by assigning applications to certain soft keys,
revising application names, or defining the order in which applications appear on
the screen. Airline modifiable portions of each application may be further
customized by modifying screen layouts and application variables. Third party
applications may also be installed on the EFB. Applications, descriptions, and
illustrations provided in this section are examples of a typical EFB installation and
may not reflect the user installed configuration.
