EFB Document Browser (Typical)
Overview
The EFB Document Browser (EDB) application provides the ability to view and
search electronic information on the flight deck. The documents included in the
library can be customized and loaded by the user. Therefore the descriptions and
illustrations provided in this section are examples of a typical EDB installation
and may not exactly reflect the currently installed configuration.
Using the EDB, the pilot can quickly and easily navigate throughout the document
to find critical information. Key features include eliminating paper documents
from the flight deck, ease of navigation within documents, support for XML,
HTML, and native PDF document formats, support for printing with flight deck
printer, key word searches, zooming capabilities, and night use via white text on
black background (XML and HTML only).
Although there are limitations to the included PDF functions, the EDB can easily
display these types of documents and does provide limited search capabilities.
Note: For consistency, “document” is used throughout this section to describe a
book, guide, handbook, or other entire document; “chapter” refers to a
section, part, or other division of a document.
Selecting Content to View
Select and load content to view in any of the following ways:
• select a document from the Document Library page, or
• select a chapter from the Table of Contents page, or
• select a chapter from the History list, or
• select a chapter from the View Bookmarks page (if chapter was viewed
since initializing the flight), or
• search for words in a document by using the Search function
After navigating away from viewing the document, select SHOW MENU and then
RETURN TO OPEN CONTENT to go back to the currently open content.
Only one document can be viewed at a time. A document selected for viewing
remains in the browser until another document is selected, even after exiting the
EDB application and returning at a later time.
Note: Initializing a flight clears all previous references (searches, bookmarks,
etc.) to any document.
