TCA/DO 160 certified Tablet PC (EFB)

[Son of a Beech]

Does anybody know of any Tablet PC's that are certified for radiated emissions (RTCA/DO 160E section 21 cat M) or rapid decompression (RTCA/DO 160E section 4 Cat A1)

This would be used as a class 1 EFB

all these companies produce hardware RTCA DO-160 compliance.

good luck

Most of those are not Class 1 EFBs.

I've used several from this company and they are all good:

We are using on our CL30 fleet EFB Class 1 units from Kraftcom in germany. They are called Rugboard10 and they are certified acc DO160 for EMI and they don't need decompression tests, as they are running on flash cards, which are not vulnerable to decompression

Gentlemen,
obtaining a tablet is one part of the EFB roadmap, but does anybody have established checklist procedures and AFM document updates? Closing the gap by jumping instead of crawling... that's the objective.

Jeppesen DDM is our way ahead, but I guess any EFB is similar or checklist can be adjusted accordingly...

Excellent literature I find on EFB is the
FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 4, Chapter 15.

N-Jet Receives FAA OpsSpec for iPad in Cockpit

Chicago-based charter/management provider N-Jet has started using Apple iPads for in-flight display of approach plates. Avionics & Systems Integration Group (ASIG) of Little Rock, Ark., helped N-Jet meet guidance in FAA Advisory Circular 120-76A and Order 8900.1, Volume 4, Chapter 15 and create an iPad test plan that includes depressurization and electromagnetic interference testing. ASIG’s rapid depressurization tests cost $200 per iPad. “We need to make sure there’s no bubble in a processor or arcing of electrical contacts,” said ASIG managing director Luke Ribich, “or air in a [lithium-ion] battery pack. That is a real risk.” N-Jet does EMI testing in its avionics shop, according to Howard Seedorf, president and CEO. The iPads replace paper charts with Jeppesen plates in the Jeppesen Mobile TC app. The FAA allowed N-Jet to eliminate paper charts under OpsSpec A061. N-Jet pilots are still using paper en route charts, said Seedorf, because it’s easier to plot on paper. Each pilot is issued an iPad, and the N-Jet operations manual specifies a minimum level of battery charge for dispatch. Pilots fit the iPads into a custom-built kneepad, and the device is not charged in flight or wired to the aircraft.
