Does anyone out there have figures on the cost savings benefit of EFB operations for airlines?
I’m referring to savings such as;
Accurate Max Flexing for every takeoff, and subsequent stretching out of engine overhauls
Maximum RTOWs squeezed out of limiting runways
Savings in brake/tire wear by better pilot awareness of landing distances
Reduction of weight by reduction of library on board
Reduction of Admin/Library personnel
General safety benefits (hard to quantify)
I believe the cost reductions from all the above must be enormous, far off setting the cost of purchase and implementation of the system.
Anybody got the numbers?
