Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) Classifications

EFB Hardware Classes:

    Class 1 EFBs are Portable Electronic Devices (PED), are stowed, not normally used during take-off and landing operations, and do not require an administrative process to remove them from the aircraft.

    Class 2 EFBs are normally mounted in a position where they are utilized during all phases of flight and require an administrative process to remove/replace from the aircraft. Both Class 1 and 2 EFBs are considered Portable Electronic Devices. Fixed equipment such as computer mounts or docking stations require design approval.

    Class 3 EFBs are fixed, installed equipment and therefore require installation design approval.

EFB Software Types:
    Type A Applications

    Type B Applications

    - May be hosted on any of the hardware classes
    - Require operational approval
