…Boeing Brings BBJ, EFB Together…

Also yesterday at NBAA, Boeing said it will make its Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) available for retrofit to in-service Boeing Business Jets. A neat tool, the EFB includes the documentation and forms necessary for legal operation as well as current Jeppesen charts, manuals for fault reporting and operations, minimum equipment lists and logbooks, all in a digital format. Additionally, the EFB includes an on-board performance tool that allows the pilot to instantly calculate the ideal speed and engine setting for an aircraft, in any weather, on any runway or any runway section with any payload. At the same time, Boeing announced five new commitments for BBJ orders, effectively selling out the program through 2005. “The interest in the BBJ during what has been a very challenging business environment underscores the value customers place on the airplane’s comfort and flexibility, and its reliability, payload, range, and customer support,” BBJ President Steven Hill said in Las Vegas.
