Billed as The First Truly Affordable EFB System Designed for
the Cockpit
navAero unveiled a new
and exciting EFB (Electronic flight bag) during proceedings at
Tuesday's AEA 2004 Tradeshow. The new tBag C2 EFB, is said to be "a
complete cost efficient Electronic Flight Bag system designed to be
used during all phases of flight by every aviation segment...
general, corporate and commercial."
navAero notes that
aviation professionals have long recognized the benefits of using
portable computers to perform a variety of function that have
traditionally been accomplished using paper references. But
off-the-shelf Laptop and Tablet PCs are simply not a viable EFB
solution. Their large size, awkward format and less than desirable
display screens (too bright at night; to dim in sunlight) make them
totally inappropriate for real world use in aircrafts.
navAero's latest offering brings to market a complete,
economical EFB computer/display solution specifically designed to
meet the needs of the aviation industry... at a starting cost of
less than $3,500.
In accordance with FAA
Advisory Circular AC NO: 120-76A, certification of the tBag C2 is
currently in process with planned approval scheduled by June, 2004.
As a Class 2 EFB, dual installations of the tBag C2 will be the
most cost efficient way to make the move to a true paperless
cockpit. Not only will this eliminate paper clutter, it will also
bring tremendous and immediate cost savings.
Operating on the Windows XP Professional platform, the navAero
tBag C2 EFB system will run virtually all the leading aviation
software:
- ARINC eFliteDeck EFB software
- Terrain-avoidance
- LIDO eRM EFB software
- Moving maps
- Jeppesen
- Scheduling programs
- Real-time satellite weather
- Performance and flight planning
- Electronic manuals and software documents
- And more
The navAero tBag C2 EFB incorporates the highly successful tPad
display. Key features include:
- Optically engineered sunlight-readable, resistive touch screen
display
- 8.4" active-matrix liquid crystal display color screen in 800 x
600 resolution (portrait mode); available in 10.4" display size
(1024 x 768 resolution in portrait mode) as an option
- Fully dimmable for night flying (illumination as low as 3
nits)
- Rugged yet lightweight aluminum construction
- Upfront brightness controls
