Aircraft Management Technologies (AMT) of Dublin, Ireland, has been selected to provide its Flightman software package for ATR’s Class 2 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), the companies announced Wednesday. ATR uses Esterline/CMC Electronics’ Pilot View EFB.
The extended EFB package offer will include additional applications to record and compute key operational information onboard, facilitate the data transfer on and off the aircraft and provide a ground-based interface for the management and reporting of EFB data, AMT said. The package includes eJourney Log, an electronic version of existing flight crew paper forms carried on a commercial aircraft; and eTechlog, which allows the recording of technical data onboard the aircraft.
“The new software available in the ATR’s Extended EFB will provide ATR pilots with the most modern tools to record and exchange data with airlines’ back office systems, directly from the cockpit. This will clearly contribute to ease their tasks and save time. As a consequence, the Extended EFB offer will remove paper from the flight deck and allow airlines to streamline their operational processes," said Luigi Mollo, ATR vice president commercial in customer services.
