EFBFSX (Electronic Flight Bag for FSX) is a software-based display system intended primarily for the simulated cockpit or flight deck. It virtually does away with the need for paper charts and other physical copies of documents such as aircraft operating manuals, performance data, approach charts and checklists.
In real world aviation EFB devices usually consist of software and hardware (hand-held tablet PC or integrated display). They can display a variety of aviation functions that in the past were traditionally accomplished using paper references. EFB systems may be approved to replace some of the bulky hard copy material that pilots typically carry in their flight bags. They can be found in everything from light single-engine props to multi-engine jet airliners.
The EFBFSX software is designed to minimize a pilot's workload and head-down time, delivering a virtually paperless cockpit environment.
The EFBFSX software can retrieve and display such documents as:
Approach Plates
Aeronautical Navigation Charts
Pilot Operating Handbooks
General Operations Manual
Standard Operating Procedures
Minimum Equipment Lists
The EFBFSX can also download/display real-time data online such as:
Weather Radar
Weather Briefings
Any web-based information
Other functions include:
Heads-Up audio checklist system
Moving Map Display
Navigation Log display of the current FSX flight plan
Fantastic addon!! and totally addictive. Don't by this unless your ready to be hooked on it.
Now I always know exactly where I'm flying and what city or town is under me.
I won't fly a sim without EFB anymore. This is one of the best addons utilities available for FSX or FS9.
It makes the sim much more enjoyable.
I cant believe that no one has written a review on this yet. This has to be one of the best EFB programs out there at the moment. The user interface is very easy and installation. I have added another small 8" lilliput touchscreen for this very purpose for my cockpit. Now I can display all my charts, flight plans, and much much more. NO MORE PAPER CHARTS! And wasting A4 paper. You can easily convert your NDAC charts into PDF and then use them with this program. All in all for the price and functionality Google Sat maps which follow your route, METAR/SAT/ etc , I must say I have to give this piece of software 5/5 stars.
