Abstract

This article is meant to assist the reader with selection criteria in purchasing an Electronic Flight Bag to replace paper charts in the cockpit for Class 1 EFB used in Part 91 operations.

It addresses four key issues: legality, usability, complexity (benefits/drawbacks), and costs.

The article provides additional reference material designed to assist the reader in their selection and to provide a basis for the Pilot-in-Command to make an informed decision on the replacement of paper charts.
