| EFB Software Applications
An integral part of our complete EFB packages, Teledyne's EFB software applications provide a powerful and user-friendly information environment that replaces time-consuming paper-based methods, therefore improving information accuracy and flight crew productivity.

Core EFB Applications |
|
Flight Manager
|
 |
The foundation of Teledyne's EFB software offering, Flight
Manager is an open-systems design that provides an integrated
operating environment for data sharing between the hosted EFB
applications and between networked EFBs. It also includes a suite of administrative utilities pertaining to device configuration
(e.g., screen orientation) and content management (e.g.,
software/data revisions.

|
Document Viewer |
 |
The Document Viewer adapts to the documentation technology used by the operator, providing an extension to the investment already made in digital documentation and allowing that documentation to be utilized effectively on the flight deck. A robust Search function is included.
|
|
|
|
Smart Forms Manager |
 |
This application facilitates the completion of various forms on the EFB. Data are collected in an XML format for offload and input into ground-based systems. Teledyne can convert existing paper forms into EFB forms. Additionally, custom EFB forms can be designed to meet specific requirements.
|
|
|
|
LRU Configuration Manager
|
|
LRU Configuration Manager (LCM) provides the operator's EFB
Administrator with a single, common user interface to properly
configure software and data packages for distribution to EFBs and
other LRU types. LCM manages the configuration of software
and data for each tail number, fleet type and/or LRU and provides
configurable email notification of discrepancies. LCM distributes
software and data across the operator's network in real-time or
through an integrated scheduler to minimize network traffic. It
also manages personalized data collected from EFB users.

Optional Applications
|
|
Performance Tool
|
|
The EFB Performance Tool gives pilots on the flight deck the
capability to calculate aircraft performance, using real-time airport weather, and accounting for actual airplane system and MEL/CDL conditions. The Performance Tool calculates the maximum allowable takeoff and landing weights, even with last minute runway and environmental changes, resulting in improved safety, maximum payloads and reduced maintenance costs.
|
|
|
|
Weight and Balance |
 |
The Weight and Balance application gives pilots on the flight deck a way to calculate and generate an aircraft load sheet. This flexible application accounts for various operational items and dynamically determines passenger random seating protection based on actual passenger load. Its center-of-gravity optimization function is a valuable feature that can reduce fuel burn.

|
|
Fully Integrated Third Party Applications |
|
Chart Viewer |
 |
Teledyne's Chart Viewer uses an access methodology which
supports the way a pilot works on the flight deck. Teledyne offers
a pilot-friendly interface for organizing and viewing pdf-based
charts provided by the National Aeronautical Charting Office
(NACO). Charts in proprietary formats, such as Jeppesen or Lido
charts, require the chart vendor's application for viewing.
Teledyne's Flight Manager can integrate chart vendor applications into the EFB application suite.
*Chart Viewer supports only NACO charts and has limited applicability.

|
Communications |
 |
The Communications application provides pilots with the ability to receive, view, compose and send text messages. The application is compatible with the Iridium-based communication products provided by AeroMechanical Systems (AMS). The communications functionality extends to the Weight & Balance and Forms Manager applications.
|
|
|
|
Weather |
 |
Designed to complement the onboard weather radar, this
application provides pilots with the ability to view real-time
graphical weather as generated by WSI Corporation. Numerous
weather products can be displayed so strategic and deviations
around severe weather can be planned.
