Modifications to an EFB system may have to be introduced either by the EFB system supplier, the EFB applications
developer or by ETF AIRWAYS.
The following modifications are allowed without obtaining prior approval from CCAA:
• Modifications that do not result in a hardware change that would require a re-evaluation of the HMI and
human factors aspects.
• Modifications that do not bring any change to the calculation algorithms of a type B EFB application
• Modifications that do not bring any change to the HMI of a type B EFB application that requires a change to
the flight crew training programme or operational procedures.
• Introduction of a new type A EFB application or modification of an existing one (provided its software
classification remains type A)
• Modifications that do not introduce any additional functionality to an existing type B EFB application; or
• Update of an existing database necessary to use of an existing type B EFB application
For all other types of modification, change management procedure shall be applied and CCAA approval shall be
obtained.
Illustration below shows basic overview of iPad device controls. For detailed description of each device refer to user
manual which is available on the device.
Before first use, EFB Administrator will configure device, install all applications and enrol device into Cisco Meraki
device management system.
Each crew member is responsible to login into each application with provided login credentials, keep application
data up to date and to comply with compatibility instructions.
All EFB devices are enrolled into Cisco Meraki device management system which is used for remote monitoring. This
system tracks device hardware and software information as well as recent location.
For each mounting device an USB Power Outlet provides DC power for charging/powering the iPad®.
For a preferred position of the iPad® (e.g. portrait or landscape and viewing angle) adjustments can be made by
turning the knob on the double socket arm counter clockwise. The friction between the base and the iPad® holder is
then reduced and adjustments can be made. Double socket arm rotation may be necessary to optimize the
adjustment.
When the iPad® is in the preferred position the knob on the double socket arm must be turned clockwise to tighten
the connection between the base and the iPad® holder.
NOTE: Do not use excessive force. The rotation of the double socket arm has an effect on the freedom of movement.
With the knob at side position, the full up and down movement can be achieved. With the knob facing up or
down, the full side movement is achieved. In intermediate knob position, the full movement is diagonal.
NOTE: In the abuse case of high acceleration in combination with too low friction, the iPad® may get into an
abnormal position. This was evaluated during certification; in those cases, any interference is such that it can
be overcome by the pilot.
After installation of the iPad®, make sure that charging cable (if installed) has sufficient slack to allow the sliding
window to be opened and ensure that the USB cable cannot be trapped in the sliding window rail or mechanism. Use
cable clamps or straps when installed.
During daily operation the iPad® shall be used in a suitable position where the iPad® does not interfere with aircraft
systems and controls. The full and free movement of flight controls must be checked by the pilots in the before take-
off check. Any obstruction caused by the iPad® shall be detected at that point and rectified before take-off.
4.2.1.3 Operation
The iPad® mounting device allows for the installation of an iPad® to be used as EFB and can be adjusted in any
direction as required by the flight crew by following the iPad® setup instructions of this FCOM supplement. The
iPad® is charged using the installed USB Power Outlet. Power to the USB Power Outlet is provided by a DC to DC
converter. A total of two converters are installed, one converter for each side (one behind the LH stowage box and
one behind the RH stowage box). The LH converter is fed by DC Bus 1 while the RH converter is fed by DC Bus 2.
4.2.1.4 Protection
It is recommended to remove the iPad® from the iPad® holder when the aircraft will be parked or not be used and
temperature in the cockpit can rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit).
The EFB power supply via the USB Power Outlet is protected against short circuit situations and over temperature
situations (due to a damaged USB cable). When a short circuit or over temperature is sensed, the power will be
automatically interrupted as long as the short circuit or over temperature situation exists. Interruption of the power
supply can be noticed on the iPad® display via de battery indication (RH top corner) or when the iPad® has become
empty while connected to the USB Power Outlet. In these cases, it is recommended to replace the USB cable.
In case of smoke, the iPad® shall be disconnected from the aircraft systems by disconnecting the charging cable from
the USB Power Outlet. Also the circuit breakers EFB PWR CONV LH and EFB PWR CONV RH can be pulled or the USB
Power switch (Optional for EASA, mandatory for FAA) can be switched to OFF to remove the power supply to the
converter, thus making the EFB system powerless.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the iPad® charging cable do not make sharp bents or kinks in the cable and do not disconnect the
cable by pulling the wire. A damaged cable may cause a serious overheat of the cable and connector. Therefore,
replace a damaged cable immediately.
When the aircraft is left unattended with external power connected, the USB cable must be unplugged from the USB
Power Outlet.
It is recommended to disconnect the power supply by turning the EFB converter switch to OFF before leaving the
aircraft.
4.2.1.5 Evacuation
The iPad® does not obstruct the pilot and co-pilot escape path.
4.2.2.2 Specifications
Tray dimensions: 275 mm x 174 mm x 13 mm
Output – 5V DC charging up to 15 W
4.2.2.3 Limitations
• When one or more of the EFBs are not installed, their respective switches installed in the tray shall be set to OFF.
In case the whole mounting assy is removed then the respective circuit breakers pulled and tagged with the
wording “INOP”
• The system Circuit Breakers shall not be used as switches. Use the ON/OFF switches, should it become necessary
to remove power from the EFB mounting provision equipment.
2 – ON / OFF switch
5 – power cable
For detailed description of current OS refer to user manual which is available on the device.
All EFB devices have the same OS configuration which is password protected through the operating system.
