Thumbs up Toughbook CF-19

On our fleet in PrivatAir SA the Skyjob Electronic Flight Bag has been introduced on the CF-19 (newer version of CF-18).
The CF-19 has been extended with a datacard (sim card) to enable wireless transmission of flight plan data, weather and notam briefings, weather charts, etc.
The hardware works fine, good battery life (up to 6 hours), and even very usable in the small fligth deck of the 737.
For reference, our fleet consists of BBJW, B737-800W, B757-200W and 767-300ER, all operating the same software package. Just the A319LR has not yet been introduced to the operational EFB software.
We use e-Link for digital charting, but still have paper destination charts and an emergency charts booklet on board.
Furthermore we are now removing all paper manuals which are hosted on the EFB through the Skyjob Electronic Fligth Bag application.
The IATA Dangerous Goods manual is carried in electronic format as well.
For performance, we use the Boeing Laptop Tool, configured for optimized performance on the CF-19. On completion of the weight & balance and performance, the saved data is sent to our operations department prior to departure via internet technology. If received ok by the server, no paper hardcopy needs to be left behind on departure anymore, thus completely paperless.
