Horizon Air Chooses Complete EFB System from Flight Deck Resources

U.S. regional carrier, Horizon Air, has opted for a complete turnkey EFB (electronic flight bag) system for its entire fleet and operational control centers from Flight Deck Resources (FDR).  The contract includes electronic updating provisions as well.

FDR will provide class 2 EFBs for both the flight deck and the cabin on Horizon's Bombardier Q200s, Q400s and CRJ-700s, and a suite of its FlightLine applications, including FliControl control panel to access other applications, its FliView terminal chart viewer, and its FliNAV that offers Windows formats for touch screens.  FDR also will implement its ground update system, called FGSserv, to deliver operational data to Horizon's ground control centers, including maintenance.

According to Keith Lockwood, FDR's president and CEO, FGSserv will update the operational data FDR will be delivering to Horizon, and will enhance the electronic information exchange between its aircraft and ground operations.  05-21-2006.
