(National Business Aviation Association - October 16, 2006) CMC Electronics' PilotView® Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) has been selected by Sino Swearingen Aircraft Corporation as a standard option on the SJ-30 business jet. The Class 2 EFB can be side mounted on either the pilot or copilot side.
"The PilotView Electronic Flight Bag will provide our customers with the most advanced EFB in corporate aviation," said Bob Kromer, Vice President of Marketing and Sales, at Sino Swearingen. "With its solid state design and avionics grade hardware, the PilotView EFB will be an excellent supplement to our flight deck."
Jean-Pierre Mortreux, president and CEO, CMC Electronics, explained: "We are really delighted that Sino Swearingen has chosen our PilotView Electronic Flight Bag to provide paperless capability for their SJ-30 business jets. Our EFB solution delivers a dependable, avionics grade system that supports industry leading applications. Many of the features found only in Class 3 EFBs such as 'FMS-style' line-select keys, a high-resolution, fully dimmable display, integrated communication capabilities and DO-160D qualification, make the PilotView an ideal system to meet the varied requirements of the discerning business jet operator."
CMC's PilotView EFB improves productivity by enabling efficient access to up to date aircraft documentation and flight planning information. PilotView provides en-route, approach charts, moving map display and graphical real time weather information. The PilotView is a compact, lightweight system with a display/processor unit featuring a wireless connection. PilotView is easy to install in a variety of cockpits where space is at a premium.
Qualification to RCTA DO-160D and a design with no moving parts guarantee continued operation in all phases of flight. A high-quality 8.4" AMLCD display offers exceptional readability in all cockpit ambient light conditions. In addition to line select keys and a convenient integrated keyboard, the PilotView EFB offers a "film-on-glass" touch-sensitive screen providing pilots with a choice when accessing or navigating through EFB software applications. PilotView allows a pilot to immediately view what is on the other pilot's display through the touch of a single key. A unique feature is a one-touch video key that enables the pilot to toggle between the current application and video images from video surveillance systems.
