"I wanted
to let you know that the program you put together for the Falcon 200 is
excellent, and has proven to be a very beneficial preflight tool for our
operation." J. Scott Carr, Chief Pilot
Why should I pay $400
for a performance calculator that does the same thing that I can do using
the AFM? Click here to see.
EFB-Pro is an
electronic flight bag
application that runs on PDAs and PCs. It allows the user to determine
performance chart results such as takeoff distance, four-segment climb
gradient and landing distances for various runway conditions.
The user may also optionally run weight & balance calculations and trip profiles
including fuel burn and enroute times.
Many other features are included:
|
The ability to determine the
required climb gradient with and without departure procedures
|
|
Conversions and calculators
(convert liters to Jet A, etc)
|
|
An optional Runway database can
be added, see below
|
|
An optional Airport database can be added,
see below. |
|
An optional Fuel tankering module
can be added, see below. |
| Multiple aircraft can be
installed on one handheld and selected from a pull-down list. |

| Runway & Climb
Database
New |
This optional Runway & Climb database provides:
- Airport Identifier lookup
- Runway length*
- Field Elevation*
- Runway Slope*
- Standard IFR climb requirement to 1500ft*
User can amend database to contain other climb requirements:
| Enter visibility requirement (i.e. 3100-3) |
| Enter new climb gradient (460ft/nm) |
| Enter new climb to altitude (14000ft) |
| Enter type of DP (FAA with 24% or ICAO with .8% safety margin) |
*merges to field condition screen - click on lower picture to right to
see how data is transferred automatically to the screen. See more below on
Required Gradients below |
 |
| Tankering
New |
The optional fuel tankering module compares
several parameters for the user:
- Departure fuel price
- Destination fuel price
- Fuel flow differences for tankered fuel weight
- Rebates offered at destination
- Flight level, speed, temperature and weight
Output includes:
| Gals - gallons required at the destination |
| Tank - gallons to tanker |
| Buy - amount to purchase at destination |
| Savings - in dollars relative to the alternatives. |
Databases are aircraft type specific. |
 |
| Field Conditions |
The initial screen of EFB-Pro
allows the user to enter pertinent weather and airport information. These
values are then converted as necessary (degrees F to C, for example) to
allow performance chart interpolation.
The required climb gradient can be manually entered here or automatically
entered when the required gradient calculator is employed. |
|
| Weight & Balance |
An optional feature, W&B can be integrated into
EFB-Pro.
Select W&B Module
on the order form. See below for pricing. The specific seat and
baggage configuration for the user’s aircraft is displayed. The user simply
enters the weights corresponding to the station and the new gross weight and
CG are displayed. Fuel weight is also entered in a similar manner though a
fuel moment "lookup" table is utilized.
All configurations can be altered by consulting the operating manual.
The resulting CG (in inches and %MAC) is then displayed graphically
within the operating envelop for the aircraft as a small dot. The CG shift
resulting from fuel burn is displayed as a line leading from the CG symbol
and terminating at the zero fuel CG value.
The GRAPHICAL W&B allows the user to set up the seating
configuration graphically and use standard weights for men, women and
children. An ACTUAL weight can be entered for any seat or for
passengers outside of the standard weight model, such as athletic team
members. Notice in the pictures to the right, that a numeric keypad appears
for easy entry and that LBS appears in the selected seat.
The winter and
summer weights are toggled by the user or automatically by date, both of
which the user sets. The passenger seating arrangement can be saved
while the seating configuration is totally configurable by the user.
AC120-27E Weight & Balance compliant
Using the standard weight module also allows full compliance with the recent
AC120-27E circular. The W&B information (T/O Weight, CG, CG Limits,
%MAC, zero fuel weight and passenger weights) can be transmitted simultaneously
to any two e-mail addresses (one is a backup or your own email address for
proof during ramp checks). If routing information
is included on the weather page (ATL-BOS), this information is delivered as
well. The e-mail header includes the aircraft tail number and
date/time stamp within the subject line, so that incoming messages can be diverted to specific folders, thus
bypassing the inbox folder. This feature requires either a modem or cellular connectivity
(Treo 650 or Palm VII) and
appropriate wireless service account. To comply with the advisory circular,
the passenger seat location is transmitted in the email also. See picture
for actual layout.
Crew names can be
saved within the software and included in the W&B sent by email. Fulfills
FAR § 135.63 Identification of crew members and their crew
position assignments.. |
 |
| Performance Charts |
Performance charts for the
aircraft are listed by flap position, phase of flight and possibly anti-ice
or runway condition. Clicking the appropriate
category toggles the choices available .
Many of the values will be pre-filled according to the numbers entered in
the weather screen and the weight & balance determination. Any value may be
altered.
When target values are assigned for takeoff distance or 2nd
segment climb performance (such as stating a runway length or required
gradient) the chart is automatically and repetitively run to render not only
the result based on the current weight, but the max weight allowed to still
meet the distance or gradient respectively.
Associated factors relating to a performance chart can be viewed by
clicking on the result. Landing Distance Factors (None, 80% or 60% and
15%) in compliance with
Opspec C082 are included. |
 |
| Required Gradient |
Commercial operators are
required by regulation to calculate and confirm the ability of their
aircraft to meet or exceed the departure climb gradient for the conditions
prevailing and with one engine inop. Typically the most restrictive of these
gradients is the 2nd segment climb.
When a departure procedure is established for the runway, the requirement
is usually rendered as a climb in feet per nautical mile. This number must
be translated into a % gradient so that direct comparison with the
aircraft’s performance charts can be made. Since the departure procedure
meets TERPS criteria, the value is already gross. Entering the corresponding
values renders the resulting value and transfer it to the weather screen.
When a departure procedure is not charted or described, the pilot must
manually calculate the gradient from the height of the obstacle in the
flight path and the distance from the runway. This value must also be
modified to reflect the reference height as prescribed by the manufacturer
and the clearance height as dictated by regulation. The resulting gradient
is then net and must be further modified to reflect aircraft certification,
number of engines and operating regulations to render a gross value. This
calculation is performed automatically and transferred to the weather page
as the target required gradient.

 |
| Trip Profile |
A summary of weights,
starting with the basic empty weight, is listed and includes the effect of
taxi burn, pax, enroute fuel burn and ending with the landing weight.
A summary of distances, enroute times, fuel reserves, time to
alternate etc are also displayed.
The takeoff, zero fuel and landing CG/MAC
shift are
displayed numerically. |
 |
| Conversions |
Numerous conversion routines
are provided such as Liters to Jet A pounds and TAS calculations, to name a
few. |
 |
| Airport Coordinates Database |
Contains latitude and
longitude of most airports with
runways over
3000 feet. Other airports and their coordinates can be
added. |
 |
| Airport Data |
Optionally, two databases can
be purchased; one for US, Canada and Mexico (No. America) or one for all airports (World). The databases include a searchable (by city name
or 3-4 letter identifier) airport and VOR databases of general information, frequencies,
approaches, runway lengths, phone numbers and addresses for airports, FBOs,
hotels, caterers, handlers, protective services, weather services, custom
restrictions, charter companies and more. The databases are updated
four
times a year. User notes can be affixed to each airport.
