  2. 06-5 Action 10 JAR-OPS 1 SUBPART D - EFB DEFINITION - To be developed in co-ordination with the MMEL/MEL SG. OPSG REMINDER (OST action list)

  3. SUMMARY • In order to be consistent with the objectives of Subpart D - Operational Procedures, OPSG considered that it was necessary to: • Introduce a definition of an EFB in JAR OPS 1.192 • Require the operators to obtain an Authorization before using an EFB in flight • Have the EFB system and the procedures linked to it’s use described in the operation manual. (even if you need to first start the EFB to access your electronic ops manual!) • Refer to JAA TGLs 36 and 26.

  4. DEFINITION JAR OPS 1.192 Definitions (10) Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) system: An electronic display system intended for flight deck functions (e.g., flight performance calculations, navigation charts, operations manuals, documentation…), traditionally accomplished using paper references or data provided to the flight crew by the operator's flight dispatch department. Other functions may also be hosted on the same display system. An EFB may be portable or installed, either as an independent system or as part of an integrated on board information system. Cabin crew functions may be hosted on a separate EFB. Inspired from the ICAO and FAA definitions, but voluntarily kept general.

  5. NEW RULE JAR OPS 1. 203 Use of an Electronic Flight Bag system (see ACJ 1. 203) (See JAR OPS 1.135 b and 1.1040 m) An operator shall obtain a specific authorisation for the use of an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB, see JAR-OPS 1.192) system where all or part of the operating procedures are dependant on its use. The EFB system and the procedures dependant on the use of the EFB shall be described in the Operations Manual. 1.135(b) The Authority may permit the information detailed in sub-paragraph (a) above, or parts thereof, to be presented in a form other than on printed paper. An acceptable standard of accessibility, usability and reliability must be assured. 1.1040(m) An operator may be permitted by the Authority to present the Operations Manual or parts thereof in a form other than on printed paper. In such cases, an acceptable level of accessibility, usability and reliability must be assured.

  6. NEW ACJ ACJ 1. 203 Use of an Electronic Flight Bag system The equipment carriage, airworthiness and training requirements, operational and alternative procedures and operator’s authorisation requirements relating to the use of an EFB can be found in the following documentation: JAA Administrative & Guidance Material Section Four: Part Three: Temporary Guidance Leaflet No. 36 and No 26.

  7. CONCLUSION When considering the present rate of implementation of EFB systems within the airline industry, this NPA seems necessary and urgent in order to avoid any misuse. OPSG didn’t interfere with the work done on TGL 36 or TGL 26. Question: would it be worth a fast track OST procedure before EASA extends its scope to operations?
