ANA Getting Boeing's Class 3 EFBs on Three New B-777ERs

Boeing is installing its class-3 EFB (electronic flight bag) on three new 777-300ERs being delivered to ANA this year, the first of which went to the Japanese carrier in April.

ANA has taken delivery of 39 777s and has eight more on order.  There was no mention in Boeing's announcement of ANA's EFB intentions for its other 777s already received or expected in the future.

The Boeing class-3 EFB is integrated into an airplane's avionics and can serve as a critical communications gateway between the airplane and an airline's operations center and maintenance department on the ground.

Boeing says it has recorded more than 1,000 total orders of its EFB since it was introduced for sale in 2002, and has been sold for all of its in-production airliners, including the 737NG, 747-400, 757, 767, 777s and 787. (The class- EFB comes as standard equipment on the 787 Dreamliner).  05-11-2007.
