ANN's Daily Aero-Term (02.13.15): Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)

Aero-Terms!

Aero-Terms are designed to be a daily reminder of the terms, names, acronyms and explanations of the unique language that populates the aviation world. Aerospace, sport aviation, fixed wing, helo, you name it... it's all fair game.

Aero-Terms should serve as a quick but intriguing reminder of the terms you may use every day, or an introduction to an aspects of the Aero-World you may not yet be familiar with. ANN also encourages readers to go beyond the FMI link, and further research any intriguing terms.

Suggestions for future Aero-Terms are ALWAYS welcome, as are additions or discussion of the explanations given for each Aero-Term.

Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)

An electronic display system intended primarily for cockpit/flightdeck or cabin use. Electronic Flight Bag devices can display a variety of aviation data such as moving maps, airport diagrams, and datalink weather or perform basic calculations such as performance data and  fuel calculations. In the past, some of these functions were traditionally accomplished using paper references or were based on data provided to the flightcrew by an airline’s “flight dispatch” function.
