Basic EFB Functions

In 1990, the concept of using computer to replace paper

manual is proposed in aviation industry to improve

operational efficiency;

In 1997, Airbus brings out LPC with portable computer.

EFB is an electronic device which provides flight crew in

the cockpit with various information of Manual, document,

chart, NOTAM and meteorological material, It has basic

calculation and display functions (such as performance

calculation, fuel calculation) and stronger capability of

function expansion to enable less paper cockpit.

foundation for EFB development

CAAC EFB RULES

CAAC IS THE PIONEER IN NEW AVIATION TECHNOLOGY

Paper removal from cockpit

Improve Efficiency

Benefits of EFB solutions

Highly reduces risks of errors

Easy access to the right information

Save money, improve processes

Improve Safety

Protect environment, reduce reliance on paper

EFB improving safe operation margin, increasing

operational efficiency and maximizing economic

benefits.

In recent years, EFB has become the trend of new

aviation technology.

Companies like Boeing, Airbus, Jeppesen, AA etc. have

developed and brought out in succession EFB products.

CES EFB Road Map

EFB technology will bring the room for CES safe operations, and initiate E-times of aviation flight information.

Phase I (2011-2012): realize trial operation of A330

Level I EFB

Phase II (2013-2014): implement official

operation of A330/A340 fleet , prepare for

A320/B737 fleet

Phase III (After 2014): completely spread

EFB application

• Company fully spreads EFB application, all major

aircraft types have EFB functions and equip with

moving auxiliary applications.

EFB Objective & Significance

Establish EFB management mode, clarify

respective management responsibility, and

define relevant working procedures to lay a

foundation for future EFB promotion.

Establish EFB ground system, collect and

reserve EFB material provided by each

business department, and timely update and

publish to EFB terminal device.

Complete integration of EFB terminal device

and corresponding onboard material, manuals,

performance calculation software, provide the

interface and functions easily access to pilots

for use…

EFB System Characteristics

EFB System Characteristics

Build professional EFB ground system management

platform. truely achieve synchronized update of flight

material.

Use IPAD as EFB terminal device, having the feature of

usability, portability and stable reliability. Meanwhile, IPAD

fixed bracket is developed. which is initiative in the world

and has been applied for national patent.

EFB applicable software developed by China Eastern

covers all basic EFB functions. the function of its

domestic aeronautical charts and flight document folder is

the initiative in China.

Core Value of CES EFB

Realize centralized control of onboard material content, innovate management mode of

navigation information and improve operational efficiency

Reduce onboard manual, material, effectively lower fuel consumption

Core Value of EFB

Reduce safety risk, improve safe operational margin

Realize electronization of onboard manual, material, quick access to information, reduce workload for

pilots and reduce printing cost.

Set up EFB project in early 2012, determine

establishment of EFB in A330 fleet.

Program design, supplier selection, development of ground system platform, compilation of manual

document, deployment of ground system, reconstruction of EFB management office,

administrative staff in place and training, A330 pilot training

Complete EFB supplementary operation certification document review, rectification,

validation flight according to AC121-FS-2009-31,AP121-FS-2010-04

On Dec. 26, 2012, obtain the initial approval from CAAC Eastern region, implement EFB

trial operation in A330 fleet.

News from CARNOC, Dec. 27, 2012:

“On Dec. 26, 2012, CAAC Eastern

Regional has officially approved China

Eastern to implement Level I EFB in their

A330 fleet, which marks China Eastern

becomes the 1st domestic airlines using

Level I EFB in the cockpit. “

东航EFB试运行记录表 RECORD

EFB试运行不正常情况统计表

编号 日期 航班 机号 不正常情况描述 整改情况

1 2012.12.26 563 6099 机组因对浦东起飞性能表较熟，记忆中的数据和IPAD上的不同，故拆包使用纸质资料进行核对。

公司已针对存在的问题及时召开了沟通协调会，强调了开启资料包后信息通报的重要性，同时，对EFB资料的管理问题也进行了整改，目前信息通报渠道畅通。

2 2012.12.31 570 6099 机组发现IPAD中的巴黎起飞性能表缺页，只有一张，故拆包使用纸质资料。 公司已针对存在的问题及时召开了沟通协调会，强调了开启资料包后信息通报的重要性，同时，对EFB资料的管理问题也进行了整改，目前信息通报渠道畅通。

3 2013.01.14 220 6099 因临时调配飞机而导致资料启封。 公司发文要求运行控制中心严格按照《关于在A330-200机型实施1级EFB试运行的通知》（东航股通知〔2012〕1448号）的要求尽量减少对A330-200飞机的临时调配，降低资料拆封的可能性。

4 2013.01.21 5627 6123 因临时调配飞机而导致资料启封。 公司发文要求运行控制中心严格按照《关于在A330-200机型实施1级EFB试运行的通知》（东航股通知〔2012〕1448号）的要求尽量减少对A330-200飞机的临时调配，降低资料拆封的可能性。

5 2013.02.23 788 6123 机组因SEC1系统出现故障，为核实EFB内数据是否与纸质资料一致，故拆包进行核对。

属于机组人为拆包核实手册内容，EFB运行可靠性没有问题，公司已向机组强调EFB内的资料是最新有效的，非EFB故障或紧急情况下不允许拆封EFB资料包。

6 2013.02.25 5359 6121 机组因在驾驶舱未找到国内高空图，故拆包使用备份国内高空图。 因机载综合资料夹中的国内高空图遗失，机组才拆封EFB封存资料夹取用备份国内高空图，不属于非正常启封事件。鉴于驾驶舱中国内高空图遗失的情况，公司已要求运行控制中心运行支持部及时补充配发，并在公司安全视频会上进行讲评，要求各相关运行单位加强对运行人员的教育，重视对驾驶舱文件资料的管理。

7 2013.02.28 5029/5030 6123 机组因在驾驶舱未找到国内高空图，故拆包使用备份国内高空图。 因机载综合资料夹中的国内高空图遗失，机组才拆封EFB封存资料夹取用备份国内高空图，不属于非正常启封事件。鉴于驾驶舱中国内高空图遗失的情况，公司已要求运行控制中心运行支持部及时补充配发，并在公司安全视频会上进行讲评，要求各相关运行单位加强对运行人员的教育，重视对驾驶舱文件资料的管理。

8 2103.03.14 582 6123 因临时调配飞机而导致资料启封。 因临时调换飞机导致的资料启封事件，不属于EFB运行本身的问题，不会对EFB试运行产生影响。公司已要求运行控制中心尽量减少对A330-200飞机的临时调配，降低资料拆封的可能性。
