Flight and Ground Information Services FlySmart with Airbus Airbus EFB solutions Optimizing Flight Operations by integrating the aircraft into the airline’s information system The right information… Building on Airbus’ pioneering experience with LPC Airbus validated data used on board Open software solutions …at the right time… Mission focused Contextual access to the information Allows collaborative work between the Captain and the First Officer …in the right place Developed for pilots in line with Airbus cockpit philosophy Making use of the unique Airbus fly by wire cockpit layout to display data clearly and conveniently to the pilot © Lufthansa Systems Aeronautics © Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc., 2005 Are you looking to: Minimize time for producing and managing on board reports? Reduce risk of errors and increase your operations quality and efficiency? and for: Faster, more accurate and real-time access to your key flight information? More cost effective data distribution processes? General presentation Advanced applications and efficient information management onboard and on the ground FlySmart with Airbus - Airbus EFB solutions The right information… Airbus EFB is built on the extensive experience gained from the ‘Less Paper in the Cockpit’ (LPC) solution. It can host: Airbus applications LPC applications suite: Operating manuals and performance computation eLogbook: management of maintenance and pilot reports Third party approved applications En-route and terminal charts Video surveillance email Airline specific applications At a later stage, Airbus EFB solutions will also benefit from the latest A380 developments, allowing the hosting of new applications, such as the Electronic Flight Folder (EFF), weather charts,… F1 - ISSUE 1 - 09/05 FlySmart with Airbus provides a comprehensive EFB solution. It comprises a common set of applications with a homogeneous look and feel, and a common set of ground tools for the management of information onboard Airbus aircraft. Airbus EFB is supported by a modular and flexible airborne infrastructure based on fully integrated hardware (Class 3*). It can also be hosted on partially integrated platforms (Class 1 or 2*). FlySmart with Airbus - Airbus EFB solutions © AIRBUS S.A.S. 2005 All rights reserved ...at the right time… Pilots can prepare and operate their missions from beginning to end in a safe and efficient way. With the new A380 concept, of ‘contextual access’, only the necessary FCOM information is displayed to the crew when an event is detected by the avionics system. In addition, complementary applications can be launched automatically (e.g. the Landing module) to globally manage the event. The Captain and First Officer can cross-check their data and work on the same task on their respective EFBs. Airbus EFB solutions can also communicate with the outside world via open technology communications such as Gatelink, Cellular- GSM/GPRS and SATCOM. ...in the right place… For pilots, Airbus has developed a fully integrated hardware (Class 3*) based on advanced and open architecture, within the Airbus cockpit environment. The EFB display is harmoniously integrated within the cockpit and is fully operable both on ground and during all flight phases. EFB: Electronic Flight Bag LPC: Less Paper Cockpit FCOM: Flight Crew Operations Manual GSM: Global System for Mobile Communications GPRS: General Packet Radio Service SATCOM: SATellite COMmunications * Hardware Classes are defined in the FAA Advisory Circular, Glossary referenced AC 120-76A , and in the JAA Temporary Guidance Leaflet, referenced TGL-36. LPC - ‘Less Paper in the Cockpit’ The best way to manage flight operations documentation and optimize performance calculation on your EFB FlySmart with Airbus - Airbus EFB solutions e-documentation modules These permit onboard consultation, in electronic format, of the required regulatory operational documentation The continuously upgraded HMI allows efficient access to information Inter-module communication permits automatic consideration of the impact of inoperative MEL items in the performance modules calculations. e-performance modules A fast, easy and accurate way of performance computation: Maximize takeoff weight or flex temperature Facilitate aircraft trimming A specific user-friendly screen has been developed for each performance calculation module (takeoff, landing, weight & balance and in-flight). F2 - ISSUE 1 - 09/05 FCOM consultation with filtering of the documentation on ECAM warning, advanced bookmark management, three layers of information, etc... The ‘Less Paper in the Cockpit’ applications suite was the initial step towards a paperless cockpit. An updated LPC will now become a key application for your EFB, allowing: Electronic dispatch, update and consultation of operating manuals, through e-documentation modules (FCOM, MEL and airline designed documents) Optimized performance computation through e-performance modules (takeoff, landing, weight & balance and in-flight).

A wide range of benefits The electronic dispatch, update and consultation of operational documents contributes to: Reduce revision and update dispatch times Improve technical data accuracy Reduce the documentation dispatch and management costs E-performance modules enable significant savings due to: Fast integration of last-minute changes (e.g. runway length reduction, meteorological events), which could otherwise cause delays Accurate calculation of performance, which eliminates the conservatism which has to be built into traditional TOW tables, and can increase maximum takeoff weight by as much as 1,000 kg which increases revenue opportunities Significant engine life extension by the use of the optimal flex takeoff temperature thereby significantly reducing engine maintenance costs. LPC management LPC involves both a ground and onboard element: An LPC administrator uses ground tools to prepare the information used in the cockpit by the flight crew. Flight crews use airborne tools to access to the information dispatched by the EFB administrator and relevant to each specific aircraft (tailored for each registration number). Regulation status The Airbus LPC applications suite installed on a laptop has already been approved by several Aviation Authorities (JAA, FAA, TCCA) as an EFB Class 1* compliant solution. eLogbook Efficient and cost effective management of maintenance and pilot reports FlySmart with Airbus - Airbus EFB solutions Application scope The eLogbook serves two main groups within an airline : Flight operations (standard defect reporting) Line maintenance and maintenance control centre (aircraft status management and recording of maintenance tasks) Main functions Capture of standardized logbook entries Follow-up of aircraft technical status Full integration and data synchronization with AIRMAN taking advantage of its troubleshooting recommendations High level of customization for operating mode and basic reports Link to Airbus Minimum Equipment List viewer to evaluate impacts on dispatch Electronic signature management Scheduled maintenance through work orders F3 - ISSUE 1 - 09/05 Compared to the traditional paper technical logbook, the eLogbook delivers: Simplified data entry, eliminating errors in manual transcription and reducing techlog management costs Standardized reports improving data accuracy with faster access and enabling quicker fault identification Seamless and efficient communication in real time between pilots and maintenance mechanics Combined with AIRMAN, the eLogbook provides the following uniquenesses: Single central repository and easy history tracking for all reports and maintenance tasks using existing AIRMAN database Full benefit of AIRMAN’s correlations and recommendations to troubleshoot the aircraft Integration with maintenance management processes The eLogbook offers the opportunity to make savings by eliminating the cost of managing a paper techlog, reducing delays and cancellations and contributing to an improved dispatch process.
