The current EFB trials on a regional B777 have been considered a success and the project team is now discussing the next stage. The project has evolved from an EFB system on the flight deck to a fully integrated “e-aircraft” project with implications for Engineering and ISD and internet access for passengers. We seem to be leading the industry in this regard and the project has attracted the attention of both Airbus and Boeing who are sending teams to Hong Kong to evaluate the results of the trial.
Wow. I came away from "the trial" thinking it was a complete POS. Truly unimpressive 1990's technology.
Leading the industry? Considered a success? I'll have whatever he's smokin'...
