ATR Will Offer CMC's EFB as Standard Option on ATR-42s and 72s ATR will offer CMC Electronics' class-2 EFB (electronic flight bag) as a standard option for new ATR-42 and ATR-72s in production as well as retrofits for those in service. ATR's dual CMC PilotView EFBs will allow pilots access to electronic aircraft documentation, checklists and flight planning information, along with en-route and approach charts, a moving map display and graphical, real-time weather information that can be viewed on 8.4" AMLCDs (active matrix liquid crystal displays). In addition to line-select keys and an integrated keyboard, PilotView also provides a touch-sensitive screen which provides pilots with a choice when accessing or navigating through EFB software applications. CMC says PilotView's compact display/processor and aircraft interface units are easy to install in a variety of cockpits where space is at a premium. According to Cathy Bain, CMC Electronics' vice president, marketing and sales, there are currently over 23 STCs (supplemental type certificates) available for the system on aircraft ranging from the GV and Global Express to the B-737, and it's the sole EFB option at Dassault, Gulfstream, Pilatus and Sino Swearingen. More recently, Embraer selected it for its E-170/190 program. 07-03-2007. |
