Simulated Electronic Flight Bag Designed To Improve Quality And
Reliability Of Flight Training
Simulated Electronic Flight Bag (simEFB) hardware for flight
simulator training devices is being introduced by Boeing at the
World Aviation Training Conference and Tradeshow (WATS) this week
in Orlando, FL. The new hardware will enhance the quality and
efficiency of flight training for Boeing Next-Generation 737 and
777 models. Compared to an airplane component, simEFB hardware
uploads customized data faster, is purchased and maintained at a
lower cost and includes all elements and systems required for
training.
"Because we've always been at the forefront of EFB training, we
have the industry knowledge and technical expertise to create
ground-breaking solutions such as simEFB," said Len Weber, chief
operating officer, Boeing Training & Flight Services. "Our
simEFB is specifically designed to handle the rigors of simulator
operations, to improve the reliability of training devices and the
quality of the training experience."
The FAA has qualified the installation of simEFB on
Next-Generation 737 and 777 training devices at Boeing's Seattle
training campus. In accordance with European technical
requirements, the U.K. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has qualified
a simEFB-equipped Boeing Next-Generation 737 simulator at Boeing's
Gatwick, U.K., training campus.
In addition to offering a simulated EFB solution for flight
training devices, Boeing continues to provide the hardware and
installation for airplane component EFB solutions for the Boeing
737, 747, 757, 767 and 777.
