The avionics and situational awareness technology now available through the use of electronic flight bags (EFBs) brings glass cockpit performance to any airplane with the use of today’s mobile tablets. However, not all tablets run all popular apps, so the tablet you choose is driven by the EFB app you want to use.
Tablets to Carry Your Electronic Flight Bag
The avionics and situational awareness technology now available through the use of electronic flight bags (EFBs) brings glass cockpit performance to any airplane with the use of today’s mobile tablets.
Key Takeaways:
- The choice of an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) tablet is primarily dictated by the specific EFB application a pilot intends to use, as popular apps are often platform-specific.
- Foreflight, a leading EFB app in the industry, exclusively runs on Apple's iOS, making an iPad model like the iPad Air 10.5-inch a recommended choice for its users.
- Pilots using Android-based EFBs such as Garmin Pilot have more affordable options like the Samsung Tab A 10.1, while the Amazon Fire HD 10 serves as a budget-friendly alternative for other compatible apps, though it may require an external GPS.
