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 selection of an EFB tablet is dictated by the specific EFB app desired, as app compatibility varies across operating systems.
- Foreflight, a leading EFB app, exclusively runs on Apple's iOS, making iPads (e.g., iPad Air 10.5-inch) the required choice for its users.
- For Garmin Pilot and other Android-based EFB apps, more affordable options like the Samsung Tab A 10.1 or the budget Amazon Fire HD 10 (which requires an external GPS for full features) are available.
