I noticed that almost every pilot at the airport had a suitcase, and a Flight Bag.
Could the switch over to an Electronic Flight Bag to carry maps and ect|||Sort of... We are in the process of installing EFBs in our fleet and it can be a bit confusing...
Laptop/notebook PCs that are not wired into ship's power can be used within the restrictions of "electronic devices" (off for takeoff and landing) , making them useful for ground and cruise operations, but unusable for navigation during takeoff, departure, arrival, approach and landing.
If the EFB is wired into the aircraft's electrical system, FAA approval must be obtained for use as a Class I or Class II EFB
Class I EFBs are basically manual repositories, and are certified to be used as an "electronic device", usable only on the ground or in cruise.
Class II EFBs are approved for full use in all phases of flight.
FYI, a Class III EFB is a built in unit, integral to the airplane.
