eware: There’s a big snowball on a roll called the electronic flight bag, and it’s likely to hit many pilot shops and cockpits this year. Initially a bit slow to click with pilots, electronic flight bags are today’s chart solution of choice for a rapidly growing cross section of pilots. Pilots weren’t quick to swap their software-free, no-batteries-required paper for the EFB’s all-digital, software-driven, electronically rendered charting. Initial options attracted some airlines and savvy corporate operators but weren’t particularly competitive in price or function for most pilots and aircraft owners. But, the past five years brought a new wave of aviation-specific, compact, easily used, flexible devices with undeniable benefits in the offering. In addition, the past two years brought an explosion in customdesigned EFB options driven primarily by multiple EFB-oriented packages for the seemingly ubiquitous iPad and its many Droid counterparts. These two paths to a functional EFB allow pilots a choice, one influenced by the functions the potential buyer most desires. We’ll examine those differences and review the appeal of converting pilots’ trademark chart bags into clothing cases for their EFBs.
