Deliveries To Ethiopian Airlines To Include Esterline CMC
Electronics’ New 10.4 Inch EFB
The Next-Generation B-737 production aircraft ordered by
Ethiopian Airways will include Esterline CMC Electronics’
10.4 inch Class 2 PilotView Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). Boeing has
received its first order from the airline for ten B737NG production
aircraft. CMC’s Class 2 EFB system is now available on
production aircraft and for retrofit on B737NG and BBJ
aircraft.
Boeing has developed a common application suite and ground
infrastructure for use across Class 1, 2 and 3 EFBs, a move
designed to maximize the value of the EFB by including Boeing and
Jeppesen applications and data.
Greg Yeldon, Esterline CMC Electronics president, said:
“Boeing’s selection of the latest addition to our EFB
product portfolio, and the first purchase order for the B737NG
production aircraft by Ethiopian Airways is excellent news. This
certainly strengthens our growing OEM supplier position in the
commercial air transport market.”
CMC’s PilotView EFB stays powered during all flight phases
and is integrated with a number of aircraft systems, thereby
improving value for pilots by increasing productivity and reducing
workload. It features a large LED-backlit display delivering
enhanced readability in all ambient lighting conditions. The
compact, self-contained display-processor offers all of the latest
processing capabilities available in the PilotView product
line.
In addition to CMC’s OEM positions with major aircraft
manufacturers, over 25 STCs are available for the PilotView EFB
system.
