Aircraft operating under part 91K, 121, 125, or 135, that use an electronic flight bag as a replacement for carrying required paperwork such as instrument approach plates or aircraft manuals, will want to spend some time with the guidelines in FAA’s recently updated AC 120-76D.
FAA Updates Commercial EFB Guidelines
Key Takeaways:
- FAA's updated AC 120-76D provides new guidelines for Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) used by aircraft operating under parts 91K, 121, 125, or 135, particularly when replacing required paper documentation.
- The advisory circular clarifies that EFBs are defined as replacements for traditional paper products, but they cannot replace any required installed aircraft equipment.
- New guidance allows EFBs to display "own-ship position" on electronic charts, provided an installed primary flight, weather, or map display in the aircraft also depicts this position.
