Royal Flying Doctor Service Selects t-BagC2
Aero-News has learned the navAero t-BagC2 EFB computer and
display hardware was recently chosen as the flight deck
hardware-of-choice for Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service -
Central Operations - to equip their growing fleet of Pilatus PC12s
with a full-service Class 2 EFB technology solution.
"Our decision to go with the navAero Class 2 EFB solution gives
us a robust and cost-effective platform to deploy the desired
software applications that will allow us to meet our goals of
realizing increased situational awareness, enhanced operational
performance and significant cost savings," said Peter Randall, RFDS
Central Operations Chief Pilot.
The navAero t-BagC2 hardware system - featuring built-in WiFi
connectivity - will be deployed on the RFDS Central Operations PC12
fleet during calendar year 2007. As a Class II device, the navAero
t-BagC2 system is suitable for use during all phases of flight.
Established in 1928 and developed on a national basis in the
1930s, the Royal Flying Doctor Service was the first comprehensive
aerial medical organization in the world. And to this day, the
service remains unique for the range of primary health care and
emergency services it provides, and for the huge area -- equivalent
in size to Western Europe -- of sparse population and climatic
extremes over which it operates, 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year.
Ken Crowhurst, navAero Executive Vice President and Managing
Director, stated: "We are tremendously excited about the addition
of Royal Doctor Flying Service into the growing number of
commercial operators who have found navAero's technology to be the
preferred EFB hardware. We provide a cost-effective solution that
meets the most demanding ROI standards. And for our customers, that
means they get a business tool that helps them to improve
productivity and operating efficiency through efficient access to
data. Applications such as aircraft documentation, weight and
balance and performance calculations, flight planning information,
approach charts, real-time graphical weather information and more
are all supported on our hardware solution."
