ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide contains information about using the Boeing Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and its installed
applications. Your organization has specific policies and requirements for using any of the applications
that are installed on your EFB. The steps in this guide are provided only to help you learn to use the
applications. Refer to your organization’s procedures for additional information.

Jeppesen provides documentation and training materials to EFB customers. Training materials can include:

• The Pilot User Guide, which is delivered in both paper format and electronically through the EFB
Document Browser (EDB) application
• eLearning materials
• Classroom training
This guide is for flight crews who operate applications on the Boeing EFB or anyone who is interested in
learning about the application operation and features.

This guide is organized into sections that introduce the Boeing EFB and describe in detail the various
applications that run on it. Your organization determines which applications are installed on your EFB,
and you might not be running all of the applications that are described in this guide. Review the “Using
the EFB” section for a general introduction to how the EFB works and then reference the appropriate
section for each application.

Except as noted, the following applications might be installed on your EFB:

• Airport Moving Map (AMM)—Orients you to your location on the airport surface. This application
acquires data from the airplane’s 429 data bus to indicate airplane position and heading on dynamic
airport maps. The application’s high-resolution maps graphically portray runways, taxiways, and other
airport features to support taxi or taxi-related operations.

NOTE: The AMM application with own-ship symbol is limited to Class 2 and Class 3 devices. It
does not run on Class 1 devices.

• Data Load—Enables you to load certain kinds of application data directly from the flight deck without
maintenance intervention.
• EFB Document Browser (EDB)—Displays documents such as government regulations and the Pilot
User Guide in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format or Portable Document Format (PDF). Your
organization can provide its own documentation (including specific policies, flight operations, or
maintenance manuals) through administration tools that are provided with the EFB.
• EFB Pilot Utilities—Assists you in performing basic mathematical conversions.
• Electronic Flight Folder (EFF)—Provides an electronic flight-briefing package that replaces day-of-flight
paper documentation.
• Enroute—Renders a moving map to enhance situational awareness relative to surrounding geographical
and navigational entities. Enroute eliminates the need for paper enroute navigation charts on the flight
deck and provides pilots with information for both flight-briefing and flight execution phases. You can
specify high or low enroute themes and render the map at multiple range scales to support appropriate
phases of flight. You can also create routes and load them onto the enroute map.
• Onboard Performance Tool (OPT)—Assists you in making your performance calculations and analysis.
This application displays current prevailing conditions and takeoff and landing performance data that is
calculated for the specific airplane type on which the EFB is installed. Your organization’s administrative
personnel are responsible for maintaining the airport data, airplane configuration, and policy data.
• Terminal Charts—Enables you to view any Jeppesen terminal chart that is included in your electronic
database subscription. The application supports a variety of display settings and viewing tools. You can

Proprietary and Confidential
1-1
 preselect your departure, destination, and alternate airport charts for quick access, or you can view
any chart from any airport as needed.
• Video Surveillance—Enables you to view video feeds from specific cameras in the airplane. For
example, you might monitor the flight deck door area to determine entry authorization, or you might
monitor passenger activity from cameras mounted in the cabin.

This guide uses the following conventions:

• Because the EFB supports touch screen, cursor control device (CCD), and bezel button input, the term
select describes any touch, button-press, or push action.
• Boldface type within steps indicates the user interface elements that you use to perform the task.
Button names are spelled as they appear on the screen.
• The term type indicates the action of entering characters into a field.

USING THE EFB
The Boeing Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) software integrates various flight-management tools on the flight
deck. Depending on your organization, the applications that are integrated into your EFB might monitor
system status, review and alter flight information, and manage, view, and manipulate charts. Because the
EFB user interface is highly configurable, your screen might look different from the screens depicted in
this guide.

This documentation addresses the Class 2 and Class 3 EFB.

NOTE: A variety of manufacturers provide Class 2 EFB hardware solutions. Appendix B—Class 2 EFB
Operational Considerations provides information regarding significant operational considerations
that differ from the information provided in this chapter.

Starting the EFB

As the EFB starts, it performs system checks, launches the applications, and loads application databases.
If the EFB starts successfully, it displays the MAIN MENU screen.

AIRPORT MOVING MAP
The Airport Moving Map (AMM) application acquires data from the airplane’s 429 data bus to indicate
airplane position and heading on dynamic airport maps. The application’s high-resolution maps graphically
portray runways, taxiways, and other airport features to support taxi or taxi-related operations. Using
these maps to monitor airplane position within an airport’s boundaries can improve crew positional
awareness and help crews prevent runway incursions. This application operates on the Boeing Class
2 and Boeing Class 3 EFB.

AMM is sold as an "incomplete system." It cannot run independently from the Boeing EFB software, which
provides the framework for the AMM application, the interface to the airplane, and the interaction with
other integrated applications.

NOTE: Although the AMM application acquires position and heading information from the airplane, it
is not a guidance system and is not intended to replace outside visual references for progress
monitoring. The application can enhance your positional awareness, but it does not provide all
of the information you need during taxi and other ground operations. For example, it does not
indicate the position of other aircraft or vehicles on the ground. You should not rely solely on AMM
to establish your airplane’s position or initiate or terminate a turn.

Pilots use AMM to perform the following tasks:

• Orient the flight crew to the airplane’s position in relation to runways, taxiways, and airport structures
• Use external visual references to identify airplane position in relation to runways and taxi holding points,
a taxiway where a turn is required, or the location of a specific parking spot or gate
• Correlate taxi clearance with taxi planning
• Monitor the taxi progress and direction along the cleared route and correlate outside visual references
and airport markings and signage with the AMM map

AMM recognizes two phases of flight: on-ground taxi and airborne. The taxi phase ends as soon as the
airplane accelerates beyond 40 knots, and it begins again after the airplane lands and decelerates to
38 knots or less.

NOTE: Some data elements on the screen shots in this document might not be provided in all releases
of the AMM software.

Using the AMM Application

The AMM application exhibits the following standard EFB behavior:

• To launch the application, select the application button on the MAIN MENU screen. Your organization
defines the text of the button label.
• To exit the application, select the MENU bezel button to return to the MAIN MENU screen.
• To view system messages (indicated by MEMO or MSG notifications), select the application button on
the MAIN MENU screen. The application displays the appropriate message.
Follow the on-screen instructions to acknowledge or resolve each MEMO notification.
• To view application faults, open the SYSTEM FAULT LOG screen. The application also displays
some on-screen fault notifications during flight under certain conditions. For more information, see
the “Troubleshooting” section.

Working with Effective Data
AMM acquires its map information from an AMM database, which your organization installs as a part
onto the Class 2 or Class 3 EFB. The content of the AMM database depends on the coverages that are
included in your organization’s data subscription. Jeppesen releases updated AMM data every 28 days
based on the ARINC cycle.

AMM databases are associated with a date upon which the database becomes effective. This date is the
database effectivity date. The EFB can support up to two AMM databases with different effectivity dates at
one time, but the effectivity dates should not overlap. If date ranges do overlap, AMM reports a fault.

If the overlap causes both databases to be effective on the current date, the application shuts down. If
the databases are not effective on the current date, the application reports the overlap and makes the
current database active.

Upon flight initialization, the AMM application automatically selects the currently effective (or active)
database according to the database effectivity date and the flight start date as reported by the EFB.

In some cases, both databases might be out of date, a database might be corrupt, or one database might
be effective at flight start date and the second database might be effective later in the flight. In such
cases, the application displays a MEMO notification upon flight initialization and prompts you to select the
active database.

 Application prompting the user to select the active database

WARNING: If neither database is effective during the flight date range, you can still fly, but you should
follow your organization’s procedures to update your database. You should not fly with
outdated data.

Selecting the Effective Database

The AMM application selects the effective database automatically whenever possible. If you are prompted
to select the effective database, select it from the list of available databases.

After you select a database, you cannot modify your selection without initializing the flight again.

AMM” section.

Understanding Map Orientation

The application displays the map in the following orientations:

• Heading up (HDG-UP)—Orients the map in relation to the airplane’s heading. Heading-up orientation
provides a consistent frame of reference by moving the map according to airplane position and heading.
When the application displays the own-ship symbol, the symbol takes on directional form if valid
heading and ground-speed data are available. The own-ship symbol takes on nondirectional form if no
valid heading or ground-speed data is available. The application maintains the own-ship symbol in a
fixed position on the screen and moves the map as the airplane moves. The EFB must receive valid
position, heading, and ground speed input to use heading-up orientation. You cannot view the map in
heading-up orientation when you are airborne.
• North up (NORTH-UP)—Orients the display so that the top of the map points north. Typically, pilots
use this orientation for planning purposes. When the application displays the own-ship symbol, the
symbol takes on directional form. The application maintains the map in a north-up orientation as the
own-ship symbol moves and rotates. Your organization determines whether north-up is oriented to true
north (TRU) or magnetic north (MAG). You can view the map in north-up orientation regardless of your
location or phase of flight. This orientation is the default orientation when you are airborne.

 Map orientations

• Frozen—Freezes the heading-up map in its current view with no own-ship symbol when valid position,
heading, or ground speed are not available; aircraft position is not within the map boundaries; or
actual system performance (ASP) is not sufficient.

To change orientation:

1. If necessary, select SHOW MENU to display the available menu options.

2. Select the appropriate orientation button (NORTH-UP MAP or HDG-UP MAP).

Using the Own-ship Symbol

For AMM to indicate airplane position, the airplane must be on the ground and traveling at a predefined
speed, and the application must be able to communicate with the airplane’s avionics. This communication
provides airplane position, heading, ground speed, weight-on-wheels (WOW) state, and destination airport.
As the application predicts the airplane’s path, it verifies that the airplane’s coordinates (as reported by
system data) match the predicted coordinates before it updates the position of the own-ship symbol. When
the GPS update rate is low, the application uses the airplane’s ground speed and heading information from
the Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) to interpolate the airplane’s position between GPS updates.

Initially, the airplane must be traveling at fewer than 40 knots to show the own-ship symbol. If the airplane
exceeds 40 knots and then slows again, the own-ship symbol reappears when the airplane is traveling at
38 knots. This behavior enables the airplane to undergo random changes in speed that would cause the
own-ship symbol to flicker on and off.

Depending on map orientation and position information, the AMM application can display one of three
own-ship symbols:

Own-ship Symbols
Symbol Name Description
Directional The symbol base indicates
heading-up orientation. The
symbol apex indicates airplane
position.
Directional The symbol base indicates
north-up orientation. The symbol
apex indicates airplane position.
Nondirectional The symbol indicates position
when the application loses
airplane heading data. The
symbol center indicates estimated
position.

If your airplane loses own-ship position information, follow your organization’s established processes for
proceeding without AMM position data. The application does not display the own-ship symbol under
the following circumstances:

• You are viewing a map of an airport at which you are not located.
• The airplane is moving at a speed of 40 knots.
• Actual system performance (ASP) does not meet required system performance (RSP) because
accuracy has dropped below 40 meters. (Accuracy depends on satellite geometry, the integrity of the
GPS signal, and system latencies that depend on ground speed.)
• The application cannot receive a valid own-ship position from the airplane GPS. If this fault occurs, AMM
displays a “GPS DATA” fault notification at the bottom of the screen. The fault notification disappears
when connectivity is re-established. See the “Troubleshooting” section for more information.
• The application cannot receive valid heading or ground speed data from the Air Data Inertial Reference
Unit (ADIRU). If this fault occurs, AMM displays an “ADIRU DATA” fault notification at the bottom of the
screen. The fault notification disappears when connectivity is re-established. See the “Troubleshooting”
section for more information.

Displaying an Airport Map

After the EFB initializes your flight and acquires your origin and destination airport information, you can
view a map at any time. When you select the AMM application button from the MAIN MENU screen, the
initial screen that the application displays depends on the location of the airplane.

• Map in heading-up orientation—AMM displays the map for the current airport in heading-up orientation
when the airplane is on the ground and the current airport is in the active database.
• Map in north-up orientation—AMM displays the map for the destination airport in north-up orientation
when the airplane is airborne and the destination airport is in the active database.
• AIRPORT SEARCH screen—AMM displays the AIRPORT SEARCH screen under a variety of
conditions, including when the airplane is airborne and the destination database is not in the active

If the airplane is on the ground, AMM displays the map of the airport at which you are currently located. If
you view a map for a different airport, use the airport switch button to return to the map of the airport at
which you are currently located. For example, if the airplane is on the ground in Seattle (KSEA) and you
are viewing the map for Chicago (KORD), the airport switch button displays the KSEA ICAO identifier,
enabling you to return to the KSEA airport map at any time.

After the airplane is airborne, the airport switch button displays the ICAO of the destination airport as
reported by the FMS if the destination airport is in the active AMM database. When you are airborne and
choose to view an airport other than the origin, you cannot use the airport switch button to return to
the origin.

 identifiers are initially placed at the runway ends, but they move to stay in view as you zoom or pan the
map. As you zoom in to a 0.5 nm (1 km) range, concourse labels are replaced by gate labels. The
application might remove some redundant taxiway identifiers to declutter the map as you zoom in. After
flight initialization, every map initially appears at the To Fit level.
• When you are on the ground and viewing the map for the current airport and the own-ship symbol is
present, select SHOW RNG RING to display a range ring around the own-ship symbol. The range ring
provides a visual sense of map scale to give you a rough idea of distance. In addition, the larger the
circle, the greater the zoom level of the map. Your organization determines the range ring scale (feet or
meters) and radius (for example, 300 m). Select HIDE RNG RING to hide the range ring.

Range ring on and off in heading-up orientation

• Use the heading indicator to change map orientation. From north-up orientation, select HDG-UP MAP
to switch to heading-up orientation. For the application to switch to heading-up orientation, the airplane
must be on the ground within the airport boundaries, the current airport map must be in the active
database, and the application must have valid heading, position, and ground speed information from
the airplane. From heading-up orientation, select NORTH-UP MAP to switch to north-up orientation at
any time and in any phase of flight.

Some tools are available only in north-up orientation:

• Drag your finger across the EFB screen to pan the map up, down, left, or right. You can pan the
image until a map boundary is in the center of the display. For example, to see an area of the map
that is further down in the display, touch the screen and drag your finger up the screen to bring it into
view. To see an area of the map that is to the right, touch the screen and drag your finger to the left
to bring the area into view.
• Select CENTER A/C to reposition the map so the own-ship symbol is centered on the screen. The
own-ship symbol can move away from the center of the screen after you select this button.

Viewing the Terminal Chart for the Current Airport

If your organization configures the EFB so that the LSK Swap feature is enabled, the AMM and Terminal
Charts applications are linked, enabling you to switch between AMM and Terminal Charts without returning
to the MAIN MENU screen. If your organization enables the LSK Swap function, use the ARPT DIAGRAM
button to access the Terminal Charts application directly from AMM. If this feature is not enabled, the
button is disabled.

ARPT DIAGRAM button to switch to Terminal Charts application

Before you can view an airport’s terminal charts, the Terminal Charts application must be installed on your
EFB and the airport must be included in your Terminal Charts chart clip. If the airport is not part of your
chart clip, the AMM application disables the ARPT DIAGRAM button.

To view the Terminal Charts airport diagram (10-9 chart) for the current airport from AMM:

Arming AMM
If your organization enables the AMM arming feature, you can set the AMM application so that it
automatically displays the map of the destination airport in heading-up orientation upon landing, ensuring
that you do not need to manually switch orientations. The destination airport must be in the active database.
• On the Boeing Class 2 EFB, arming AMM enables the EFB to switch to the AMM application from any
other EFB application upon landing. In addition, it enables the ability to switch to heading-up orientation
from any other AMM screen upon landing.
• On the Boeing Class 3 EFB, arming AMM enables the EFB to switch to the AMM application from any
other Windows EFB application upon landing.

You cannot enable the HDG-UP Arm feature when the airplane is on the ground. The airplane must
be airborne.

To arm AMM:

1. View the destination airport while the airplane is airborne.

2. If necessary, select SHOW MENU to display the available map options.
3. Select HDG-UP ARM.

Troubleshooting
The application displays on-screen fault notifications for temporary faults such as communication issues. If
these faults become persistent, the application logs them to the system fault log with the other application
faults. You can hide on-screen fault notifications.

To hide fault notifications:

1. If necessary, select SHOW MENU to display the available map options.
2. Select CANCEL MSGs.

To view fault notifications again, select RECALL MSGs.

AMM might display the following fault notifications during flight:

• ADIRU DATA—Indicates that Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) heading or ground speed data

3-21
 is invalid or unavailable. The application might display this fault notification during ADIRU alignment,
but the fault should clear. During normal operation, this fault indicates a failure condition that did not
correct itself during flight. If AMM is in heading-up orientation, it removes the own-ship symbol and the
map stops moving. If AMM is in north-up orientation and has lost only the heading information from the
ADIRU, it displays the nondirectional own-ship symbol. If the application also loses ground speed data,
it removes the own-ship symbol. The fault notification disappears when connectivity is re-established.
• GPS DATA—Indicates that AMM is unable to validate the GPS position for a defined period. Usually,
this fault is caused by persistent hard failure of the multi-mode receiver (MMR) or the communication
link between the MMR and the EFB. The application also displays this fault notification when satellite
interference causes nonpersistent invalid position data. If AMM is in heading-up orientation, it removes
the own-ship symbol and the map stops moving. If AMM is in north-up orientation, it removes the
own-ship symbol and disables the HDG-UP button. If AMM is airborne, it disables the HDG-UP Arm
feature. The fault notification disappears when connectivity is re-established.
• UNABLE POS ACCURACY—Indicates that actual system performance (ASP) does not meet required
system performance (RSP) or AMM is unable to calculate ASP. ASP calculations are based on GPS
data. If AMM is in heading-up orientation, it removes the own-ship symbol and the map stops moving. If
AMM is in north-up orientation, it removes the own-ship symbol and disables the HDG-UP button. If
AMM is airborne, it disables the HDG-UP Arm feature. The fault notification disappears when ASP
once again meets RSP.
If the EFB displays a fault notification, follow your organization’s designated procedures for resolving the
fault.

ENROUTE
The Enroute application enhances situational awareness by displaying a moving map. Use Enroute to
perform the following tasks:
• View information on a moving map.
• Search for navigational objects.
• Retrieve navigational data.
• Create, modify, and load ad-hoc routes.

Enroute cannot run independently from the Boeing EFB software, which provides the framework for the
Enroute application, the interface to the airplane, and the interaction with other integrated applications.

CAUTION: Although the Enroute application displays navigational data, it is not designed as a navigational
tool, and the application does not display an own-ship symbol. Use other tools on the flight
deck to navigate the aircraft on the route of flight.

NOTE: Some data elements on the screen shots in this document might not be provided in all releases of
the Enroute software.

Using the Enroute Application

The Enroute application exhibits the following standard EFB behavior:

• To launch the application, select the application button on the MAIN MENU screen. Your organization
defines the text of the button label.
• To exit the application, select the MENU bezel button to return to the MAIN MENU screen.
• To view system messages (indicated by MEMO or MSG notifications), select the application button on
the MAIN MENU screen. The application displays the appropriate message.
Follow the on-screen instructions to acknowledge or resolve each MEMO notification.
• To view application faults, open the SYSTEM FAULT LOG screen. The application also displays some
on-screen fault notifications during flight under certain conditions.
For more information about standard EFB behavior, see the “Using the EFB” chapter.

Working with Effective Data

Enroute acquires its map information from an Enroute database, which your organization installs as a part
onto the Class 2 or Class 3 EFB. Enroute databases are associated with a date upon which the database
becomes effective. This date is the database effectivity date.

The content of the Enroute database depends on the coverages that your organization subscribes to.
Jeppesen releases updated Enroute data every 28 days based on the ARINC cycle. The EFB can
support two databases with different effectivity dates. Upon flight initialization, the Enroute application
automatically selects the currently effective (or active) database according to the database effectivity date
and the flight start date as reported by the EFB. In some cases, both databases might be out of date, a
database might be corrupt, or one database might be effective at flight start date and the second database
might be effective later in the flight.

If neither database is effective on the current date, the application displays a memo notification upon flight
initialization. This memo notification indicates the expired databases and requires you to acknowledge the
condition before you can use Enroute. If you acknowledge the expired databases and choose to continue,
the application uses the most recent database as the active database.

MEMO notification indicating outdated information

WARNING: If neither database is effective during the flight date range, follow your organization’s
procedures to update your database. You should not fly with outdated data.

Working with the Map
Enroute is a situational awareness application. When Enroute is connected to the aircraft’s systems, the
application uses the aircraft location data to enable live aircraft tracking on the moving map. Use the
application to plan and view your route of flight, view terrain contours, search for and locate navigational
objects, and retrieve details about any object or region.

About the Map

Unlike a precomposed (paper) chart, the map renders dynamically and aids in your situational awareness
relative to the surrounding geographical and navigational entities. You can alternate between map themes
and render the map at multiple range scales to optimize readability and support appropriate phases
of flight. You can also specify whether to view the map in light (day) mode or dark (night) mode. The
following figures show enroute maps in these modes.

Understanding Navigation Modes and Orientation

Use the application in Navigation mode for situational awareness. In Navigation mode, the application
displays a dynamic map in either True North Up, or in Track Up orientation. The compass pointer
indicates the north direction.

North Up
North Up orients the map so that the top of the map points toward true north. North Up is primarily useful
for planning purposes. To view in North Up orientation, select Map > North Up.

When the aircraft is connected to the aircraft systems, and the map is in North Up orientation, the map is
positioned to emphasize content ahead of the present position of the aircraft. When the map is oriented
North Up, you can zoom and pan the moving map. When you pan the map, the application disables the
moving map functionality and displays a static map image regardless of your aircraft’s position. You
restore the moving map functionality by selecting the PPos button.

If the aircraft is located outside the map display area, an aircraft off-screen arrow indicates the direction
and distance from the map edge to the last reported aircraft location. The application updates the distance
measurement with each aircraft location update.

If the application loses aircraft location, it disables the PPos button, and no longer displays the off-screen
arrow (if it was showing). When the application regains aircraft location, it re-enables the PPos button.
When you select PPos, the application again restores moving map functionality.

If the aircraft loses track data but retains position data, the application disables the North Up and Track
Up buttons.

If you have panned the map, the panned view persists when you return to the map after accessing the
search function or viewing regional notes or reference notes. You must select the PPos button after you
close any dialog boxes in order to restore moving map functionality.

Track Up
Track Up orients the map in relation to the aircraft’s true track angle, with the map positioned to emphasize
content ahead of the present position of the aircraft. To view in Track Up, select Map > Track Up.

In Track Up orientation, the map moves and rotates according to aircraft location and true track. You can
change the zoom level in this orientation. The application refreshes aircraft location at a rate of 1 Hz. (If
the application displays any dialog box when in Track Up orientation, it pauses the movement of the map
until you close the dialog box and select PPos.)

Proprietary and Confidential
4-9
When you pan the map in Track-Up orientation, the application disables the moving map functionality and
displays a static map image regardless of your aircraft’s position. The map continues to rotate, though, to
reflect your current track angle. You restore the moving map functionality by selecting the PPos button.

If the application loses aircraft location in Track Up, it notifies you of the loss of aircraft location and
changes to North Up orientation. In addition, it disables both PPos functionality and the ability to display
the map in Track-Up orientation.

Loss of Aircraft Information

If the aircraft loses track data but retains position data, the Enroute application disables the North Up and
Track Up buttons. If the map is displayed in Track Up mode when the loss of information occurs, the
application transitions the map to North Up mode.

If you are using an application other than the Enroute application and the aircraft loses position information,
when you return to Enroute, the application displays the map in North-Up orientation and disables
both PPos functionality and the ability to display the map in Track-Up orientation. In this situation, the
application does not provide a notification regarding the loss of position data.

Understanding Map Themes and Zoom Level

A map theme is a feature that displays a particular set of map objects and symbols associated with that
theme. This application ships with two map themes: High Enroute, which supports operations at 20,000
feet and above, and Low Enroute, which supports operations up to 20,000 feet above sea level. Each
theme displays a particular set of map objects and symbols.

NOTE: In some countries, the upper and lower limits are 15,000 feet, rather than 20,000 feet. When an
airway passes through political boundaries where an upper and lower operation limit discrepancy
exists, and you are using the high enroute theme, you must switch from high enroute to low
enroute (or from low enroute to high enroute) to continue viewing that airway.

Map themes are divided into zoom levels. The zoom levels are approximations; the distances they provide
are only estimates. Do not try to use zoom levels as a precise tool.

Each zoom level has a specific operational purpose depending on the phase of flight. Use the zoom
controls on the EFB bezel to display the map at a different range scale.

The following table lists the range scales and the operational uses associated with them:

NOTE: If a declutter option button is unavailable in the current theme or at the current zoom level,
the button is dimmed.

The application displays map symbols and labels at simple, regular, and detailed levels depending on the
selected range scale.

Understanding Zoom Controls and Panning

Use the zoom controls on the EFB bezel to generate a more or less detailed view of the map. You can
also pan the map. When you touch the edge of the map, the pan arrow appears. If you keep pressing,
the screen will autopan. You can pan the map in any direction, and in both Navigation mode and Plan
Route mode. The application continuously moves the map in the direction of the pan and renders the map
completely each time you remove your finger from the screen. The application renders minimal detail
during the pan and does not draw details such as airways, most airspaces, and labels until you remove
your finger from the touch screen.

When the application is connected to the aircraft systems, and when you pan so that last-reported aircraft
location is outside the field of view in Navigation mode, the appearance of an off-screen arrow indicates the

direction and distance from the map edge. The distance is rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a nautical
mile. The application updates the distance measurement as it receives each aircraft-location update.

Understanding Scale and Contour Legends

The map displays two types of legends: the distance scale and the contour legend.

Distance scale—Acts as a ruler that indicates an estimate of map distance.

NOTE: The distance scale is not a precision tool.

Terrain Contour Legend—Defines the color coding of terrain contours, which enhances your terrain
awareness. The contour legend appears only in the Low Enroute theme, and only when the application
is displaying terrain. For more information about viewing terrain contours, see the “Viewing Terrain
Contours” section.

Working with Notes

This application provides features for retrieving and viewing aeronautical information in textual format. The
features address three categories of textual data:

Operational notes (“ball notes”)—Associated with a map feature that has operational significance. To
view the note, select the information icon on the map. You can also view any operational notes
associated with a navigational object or an airport.

Regional notes mode—Associated with a specific region. These notes are the functional equivalent of
“floating notes” or “cover/end panel notes” on a precomposed (paper) chart. To access this mode and
view the note, select Mode > Regional Notes.

Reference notes mode—Associated with generic information. This information is the functional equivalent
of end/cover panel information or references to Airway Manual text on a precomposed (paper) chart. To
access this mode and view the note, select Mode > Reference Notes.

This section contains the following topics:

• Viewing Operational Notes

• Viewing Regional Notes
• Viewing Reference Notes

Viewing Operational Notes

Information icons on the map indicate operational notes. You can access the information through the
details dialog boxes for navigational objects that contain operational notes.

To view operational notes through an information icon:

1. Select the information icon.

2. Select Close to close the dialog box.

Viewing Regional Notes

The Enroute application displays Regional Notes. The regional notes page contains the following elements:
• FIR / UIR Regions—Limit results by the FIR / UIR selected.
• Regional Note Titles—Title of the regional note.
• Regional (FIR / UIR) Notes Information—The text of the note.

The application filters the content based on information derived from the center of the map. For example, if
your destination airport is Glasgow, GBR (EGPF), and you have positioned the map to prepare for your
arrival, the application displays regional notes for UK: Scottish. You can select a different region at any time.

To view regional notes:

1. Select Mode > Regional Notes.

This opens the Regional Notes page.

Using the Buttons on the Toolbar (Plan Route Mode)

The following table describes the buttons that are available in Plan Route mode:

Toolbar—Plan Route Mode

Button Description
Enables you to create a route. You must first create a route before you can use any of the
route-planning features.

Depicts, on the route-planning map, one or more of the routes that you create. The routes
that you select to load are the routes that appear on the map in Enroute Navigation mode.

NOTE: When you load and unload routes that you have created, the routes persist in the
EFB memory until you reinitialize the EFB, start a new flight, or power off the EFB.

Clears all routes from the map. When you unload routes, you are not removing them
from system memory. The routes remain available for use—they merely are removed
from the map.

Displays a list of all routes that are currently loaded. Use this button to work with a particular
route. For example, assume that you have created and loaded two routes and you want to
modify one and make it active. Select List Routes to see the list of routes, and then select
a route. That route becomes the active route, which you can then modify as necessary.
Cancels the last action.

Reverts to the previous state. For example, assume that while creating a route, you enter
the wrong waypoint. Select Undo to revert to the route as it was before you added the
incorrect waypoint.

Restores your last action. For example, Redo reverses an Undo action.

Enables you to specify the point within a route where you want to insert a waypoint from
the Enter Waypoint text box. The application displays Insert arrows at all of the possible
insertion points when you select Insert Waypoint.

Adds the waypoint in the Enter Waypoint text box to the end of the route.

Removes whichever waypoint is currently highlighted in the waypoint list.

Enables you to modify a current route by recording your current position as a waypoint and
removing all intermediate waypoints between your current position and the waypoint that
you want to fly direct to.

 Button Description
Enables you to override the automated sequencing of waypoints and set any waypoint in
your route as the active waypoint.

Opens the Enroute Data Search dialog box. Use the Search feature to search for any
navigational object in the database. You can search by object identifier, name, or location.
See the “Searching for Navigational Objects” section for more information about refining
your search criteria.
Enables you to view details about an object on the map. To use this feature, first select
Details, and then select an object on the map. For information about viewing object details,
see the “Working with Object Details” section.

Viewing Routes on the Map

To view routes on the map, they must first have been created, and then loaded in Plan Route mode. For
more information about those tasks, see the “Creating a Route” section and the “Loading and Unloading
Routes” section.

To view loaded routes:

1. On the Route Planning page, select the List Routes button on the toolbar.
The application displays the routes that have been created during the current session. (If no routes
have been created during the current session, the List Routes button is not enabled.) For each route,
the application shows the origin and destination, and the total distance of the route. The active route is
depicted on the map in yellow, and any other routes that you have selected to appear on the map are
blue.

Routes available for selection

2. Select a route from the list to display it on the map.

Understanding Route Lists

A route list is a graphical representation of the route’s sequencing, including route segments, airway
segments, and waypoints. The collapsed view of a route that contains an airway sequence that is
composed of multiple airway segments is similar to a dot-notation (airway routing) entry. (For more
information about dot-notation entry, see the “Create a Route Using Airway Routing” section.)

The following example route list explains the different parts of a typical route list. This is a route list
from origin to destination. The first segment is the origin, KSJC (Norman Y. Mineta Memorial San Jose
International Airport).

4-41
 Route list

If the route contains an airway sequence, the application initially displays it in a collapsed state. An
airway sequence is made up of multiple connected airway segments along an airway. Each airway
segment connects only two adjacent waypoints on the airway. Select the plus sign to expand and view the
entire airway sequence. When the airway is expanded, the tags on each waypoint reflect the distance
and bearing from the previous waypoint.

The following example is a collapsed airway sequence.

Collapsed airway sequence

When you expand the sequence, the application displays the sequence followed by its multiple airway
segments. Tags on each airway segment reflect the distance and bearing from the previous waypoint. If
the application cannot display the entire list of segments, it provides a scroll button so that you can view
the hidden segments.

Understanding Route Properties

The Route Properties dialog box provides basic information about the route. To access route properties,
start by ensuring that a route is displayed on the map. Then select the Details button and select the route.

Route Properties dialog box

Creating a Route
Before you can load routes and display them on the map, you must first create one or more routes.

Enroute provides three ways to create routes:

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
4-43
• Airway Routing
• Plain Language routing
• Latitude/Longitude routing
Of these methods, Airway Routing is typically the most efficient way to enter routes. Although a physical
keyboard is not required to enter routes, it enables you to create routes more efficiently.

NOTE: Routes that you create in the Enroute application remain in system memory only for the current
EFB session. When you close a flight and then reinitialize the EFB, or when you power off the
EFB,the routes are erased from system memory.

Before You Begin

Regardless of which method you use to create routes, when you select the New Route button to create a
route, one of two things happen:

• If the EFB is connected to aircraft systems and can detect an origin and destination airport, those
airports are included in each new route, and the route takes its name from these waypoints. You can
delete these airports if they do not apply to the route that you are creating. When you enter a new origin
and destination, the name of the route changes to match those airport entries.
• If the EFB cannot detect an origin and destination airport, it assigns a Date_Timestamp (for example,
20130120_144734) as the route name. After you enter an origin and a destination, Enroute updates the
name of the route to match those airport entries.
Example: Creating a Route by Using Airway Routing
You can create a route using airway routing, which is also known as "dot notation.”

You can enter point-to-point waypoints to complete your route. You separate airways by a single period
(dot). You use two dots to connect waypoints direct without an airway. For instance, KADW..ETAR
indicates that the two airports are connected directly without using an airway. When you include airways
within a route, be aware that airways always connect through established navaids.

If the EFB has an Origin and Destination already set, the route planning feature automatically creates a
new route with those two points as the initial and final fix. In the following example, assume that in the
preflight setup, KPDX (Portland Intl) and KLMT (Klamath Falls) have been defined as the origin and
destination airports respectively. In this example, you are creating a route between these airports by using
airway routing. For this route, you intend to fly from the origin airport direct to a navaid (BTG), and then
along V23. At OED, you will fly along V122 to LMT, and then direct to KLMT. Follow these steps:

1. Select the New Route button.

The application creates a route with KPDX and KLMT as the origin and destination, respectively.
2. In the Enter Waypoint text box, type the following text:
BTG.V23.OED.V122.LMT
3. Select Insert Waypoint, and then choose the insertion point between the two airports.

Note that in this example, you must include waypoint OED because airways connect through established
navaids and OED is the point where these two airways intersect.

4-44
Example: Creating a Route by Using Plain Language
You can create a route and enter waypoints by typing information directly in the Enter Waypoint box.
The following example shows how to create a basic route. This route will have a departure airport and
an arrival airport.

1. Select the New Route button.

The application opens a new route and assigns either an origin and destination airport or a
Date_Timestamp (for example, 20110120_144734).
2. In the Enter Waypoint text box, enter either the ICAO identifier, the IATA identifier, an airport name,
a city name, or a text string.
If you enter a text string that presents the application with more than one possibility, the best match
appears below the Enter Waypoint text box.

Result of Waypoint Search

NOTE: The application displays only results that match exactly the text string that you enter. If you
enter two characters, the application searches for a waypoint match, but does not include
airports. You must enter three or more characters to include airports in a global search.

3. Select the Show All button to display all possibilities.

4. When you locate the appropriate airport or waypoint, select the Append Wpt button.
5. In the Enter Waypoint text box, enter the next waypoint, and then select Append Wpt.
Continue adding waypoints until your route is complete.

NOTE: Use the Remove WPT button to remove the origin and destination airports if the application
entered them and they do not apply to the current route.

Creating a Route by Using Latitude and Longitude Routing

You can enter the latitude/longitude information as part of multiple waypoints (when the waypoints are
separated by two dots). Keep in mind that you cannot use latitude/longitude information in airway strings
because airways connect through established navaids.

NOTE: The syntax for entering latitude/longitude information might seem complex, but it provides
substantial flexibility.

Latitude/longitude strings must always contain both a latitude and a longitude. Each hemispherical portion
of the latitude/longitude string that you enter in the Enter Waypoint text box must start with a hemisphere
character (N or S for latitude; E or W for longitude) and must contain at least one number. For example,

Proprietary and Confidential
4-46
N45E13 is a complete and valid string. The application attempts to parse the string you enter from one to
three floating-point numbers, as follows.
• If the application encounters one number string (for example, N45), it interprets the string as decimal
degrees.
• If the application encounters two number strings (for example, N45 05), it interprets the string as
integer degrees and decimal minutes.
• If the application encounters three number strings (for example, N45 05 27), it interprets the string as
integer degrees, integer minutes, and decimal seconds.

The same rules apply to longitude except where noted. You do not need to separate the latitude from
the longitude with a space, but the space makes the text more readable. The following table shows valid
example strings for latitude.

Valid Strings for Latitude

Latitude Note
N45 North 45 degrees.
N 45 North 45 degrees.
N 45.12456 North 45.12456 degrees.
N 45 05.423 North 45 degrees, 05.423 minutes. Use a leading zero for numbers under 10.
N 45 05 North 45 degrees, 05 minutes.
N 45 05 27 North 45 degrees, 05 minutes, 27 seconds.
N 45 05 27.267 North 45 degrees, 05 minutes, 27.267 seconds.
N45-05-27 One space after hemisphere character not required.
N 45:05:27 North 45 degrees, 05 minutes, 27 seconds.
N30410910 Interpreted as Nhhmmssss (decimal seconds).

The following table shows strings that are not valid.

Invalid Strings for Latitude

Latitude Note
N Must have a number.
N 192 Degrees must be less than or equal to 90 for latitude. Note that for longitude,
degrees must be less than or equal to 180.
N 45 72 Minutes must be less than 60.
N 45 28 97 Seconds must be less than 60.
N450245 Need characters separating degrees, minutes, and seconds.

The application resolves latitude/longitude strings in the format specified in the Display options.

Loading and Unloading Routes

You must first create one or more routes before you can load a route and use it in Enroute Navigation
mode. After you load a route, you can modify it if necessary. See the “Modifying a Route” section for more
information about modifying routes. When you no longer need the routes that you created, you can
unload them by selecting the Unload Routes button.

NOTE: When you select the Unload button, Enroute removes all of the currently loaded routes from the
map, but the routes remain in memory for the current EFB session. If you need to access any of
the routes that you unload, you can reload them.

Modifying a Route
For any route, you can:

• Add and remove waypoints.

• Use Direct To.
• Add airways.
• Set waypoints as active.
Example: Adding a Single Waypoint
You can add a waypoint to an existing route. This simplified example uses a route from EINN (Shannon
Airport) to EDDF (Frankfurt/Main Airport) that has a single waypoint.

 Example Before Waypoint is Added

To add a waypoint to this route:

1. In the Enter Waypoint text box, type STU. The Best Match is STU (STRUMBLE), which is the
waypoint that you want to add.
2. Select Insert Wpt.
The application indicates three possible insertion points. Remember—if you insert a waypoint in an
incorrect location, you can select the Undo button to remove it.
3. Select the Insert button located after EINN but before the N52.0, W04.2 waypoint. The application
inserts the new waypoint, adds it to the route, and modifies the map to include the new waypoint.

Route modified with an additional waypoint

Removing a Waypoint
You can remove an individual waypoint within an airway sequence. When you remove an intermediate
waypoint, any remaining airway sequences before or after the removed waypoint (or both) are shown
as an airway item in the route list, with an entry and exit point adjusted accordingly. Note that when you
select a route list item, the application highlights that item on the active route on the map. For example, to
remove the waypoint named STU that was added in the “Example: Adding a Single Waypoint” section,
either select that waypoint, and then select Remove Wpt or select Undo.

The Remove Wpt button is dimmed for route list items that cannot be removed.

Using the Undo and Redo Button
Use the Undo button to reverse your last action, such as inserting a waypoint. Use the Redo button to
restore your last action, such as reversing an undo action.

Using the Cancel Button

When you select the Cancel button, the application:
• Clears the currently selected waypoint from the map and all route-planning panes.
• Clears any text that you entered in the waypoint entry pane.
• Sets the mode for the route pane to the waypoints mode.
• Redraws all views.
Using the Direct To Feature
Use the Direct To feature to move directly from the aircraft’s current location to another waypoint. When
you use this feature, the application removes all intermediate waypoints and airways. For example, you
might use this feature when ATC clears you directly to a point.

When you select the Direct To button, the application removes all intermediate waypoints and airways
from the route definition list.

NOTE: The application disables the Direct To feature if the aircraft’s present position is unavailable.

To use the Direct To feature:

1. If necessary, add the point that you have been cleared direct to.
2. Position the insertion arrow above the Direct To point.
3. Select Direct To.
The application adds a waypoint to designate the currently reported aircraft location. All remaining
intermediate waypoints still appear as an airway item in the route list, but the selected Direct To
waypoint is now the new entry waypoint.
Adding an Airway
You use airway routing to add airways. Add an airway using the requirements and rules set in the “Create
a Route Using Airway Routing” section.

Setting a Waypoint as Active

Select a waypoint and then select the Set Active button to set that waypoint as your active point. Active
waypoints are sequenced automatically. To override automatic sequencing, use Set Active.

Understanding the Active Route

The active route is the route that the aircraft is on when connected to the aircraft systems.

TERMINAL CHARTS
The Terminal Charts application obtains its data from Aircraft Data Interface (ADI), which acquires its
information from the EFB Common Services Library (ECSL) and ultimately from the aircraft’s 429 data
bus. This application provides pilots with access to electronic terminal charts, which are images of maps,
airport diagrams, or textual information that are associated with specific airports. Charts can include
airport, departure, arrival, approach, and airspace charts; chart change notices; and additional information.
Jeppesen-provided charts are delivered by Jeppesen standard and tailored terminal chart services.
EFB Content Packager-created content is managed by the customer. This application operates on the
Boeing Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 EFB.

Terminal Charts is sold as an “incomplete system.” It cannot run independently from the Boeing EFB
software, which provides the framework for the Terminal Charts application, the interface to the aircraft,
and the interaction with other integrated applications.

Pilots use the Terminal Charts application to perform the following tasks:

• Locate and display Jeppesen or customer-specific terminal charts

• View chart change notices
• Define airports along a route (origin, destination, and alternates) and create and edit chart clips
• Load charts for each airport in the current flight plan, even when that flight plan is updated or modified; if
necessary, pilots can manually enter airport information
• Select charts based on revision date (when chart effectivity applies)
• Search for airports in the database by ICAO/IATA airport codes, airport name, and city name
• Find the nearest airport with respect to the aircraft’s current GPS location
• Filter an airport’s charts by type
• Preview and add charts to the chart clip if they are of the same type as the chart being viewed (Quick
Use)
• Transfer a chart clip from one EFB device to another
• Toggle between the AMM application and the Terminal Charts application (“interapplication linking”
or “LSK Swap”)
• Print the current chart, all of the charts contained with an airport chart clip, or all of the charts associated
with an airport if a printer is installed on the flight deck

Using the Terminal Charts application can decrease paper-management tasks on the flight deck, eliminate
the need for paper revisions before a flight, and enable pilots to load charts for each airport in the current
flight plan, even when that flight plan is updated or modified.

Version 5.0.0 contains the following new Terminal Charts features:

• Ability to view customer-specific charts created using the Jeppesen EFB Content Packager
• Support for Familiarization and Qualification charts
• Support for AMM to display automatically when weight-on-wheels is TRUE

Using the Terminal Charts Application

The Terminal Charts application exhibits the following standard EFB behavior:
• To launch the application, select the application button on the MAIN MENU screen. Your organization
defines the text of the button label.
• To exit the application, select the MENU bezel button to return to the MAIN MENU screen.

• To view system messages (indicated by MEMO or MSG notifications), select the application button on
the MAIN MENU screen. The application displays the appropriate message.
Follow the on-screen instructions to acknowledge or resolve each MEMO notification.
• To view application faults, open the SYSTEM FAULT LOG screen. The application also displays
some on-screen fault notifications during flight under certain conditions. For more information, see
the “Troubleshooting” section.
For more information about standard EFB behavior, see the “Using the EFB” chapter.

Upon flight initialization, Terminal Charts performs the following activities:

• Logs the airplane tail number

• Resets all configuration settings to default values
• Verifies database effectivity
• Clears all route segments
• Sets origin and destination airport route segments (if connected to avionics)

Understanding Database Effectivity

Terminal Charts obtains its terminal chart information from a JDS or JIT database, which your organization
installs as a part onto the Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 EFB. The content of the Terminal Charts database
depends on your organization’s data subscription. If your organization is using a JIT database, it will also
need to have the appropriate coverages.

Jeppesen releases updated Terminal Charts data in two-week cycles. Terminal Charts databases are
associated with an effective date, known as the database effectivity date.

Any content that organizations create and package using the EFB Content Packager is delivered in a JDS
database. Although the effectivity dates of customer-created packages are not required to coincide
with Jeppesen database effectivity dates, best practice is that these dates match the effectivity dates of
their Jeppesen content. The IDENT screen displays information about the customer-created database
and the Jeppesen-supplied database.

Upon flight initialization, the Terminal Charts application verifies the effectivity of Terminal Charts databases
that have been loaded onto the EFB. If any of the databases are out of date; the application displays a
MEMO notification, and you must select CONTINUE to confirm that you want to use the out-of-date
database before you can access the Terminal Charts application.

NOTE: If your organization allows its subscription to lapse, you will no longer receive database
updates. Although Terminal Charts will continue to operate, flying without updated data is not
recommended, and you will continue to receive notifications that the database is out of date.

Searching for Airports

You can search for airports in the AIRPORT SEARCH or ROUTE SETUP screens.

Search strings for potential airports can include ICAO or IATA airport identifiers, airport names, or city
names.

To access the search feature from the ROUTE SETUP screens, simply type a search string into one of
the available fields and choose one of the search buttons. The Terminal Charts application displays all
airports that match the search string.

To access the AIRPORT SEARCH screen from the CHART CLIP screen, select the AIRPORT SEARCH
button. Perform this task if you need to locate charts for an airport that is not included in your route.

For more information about searching for airports, see the “Managing Airports” section.

Managing Airports
Use the ROUTE SETUP screens to define the airports for your route. You can set up your origin and
destination airports and define up to four alternate airports, and you can make updates to airports at
any time. If necessary, use the search feature to search for any airport in your organization’s Terminal
Charts database.

If you are accessing the Terminal Charts application for the first time after initializing the flight and if the
database is current, the application displays the ROUTE SETUP - Origin and Destination screen, which
contains routing information and airport search options.

NOTE: If you have not yet initialized the flight and the application receives information from the FMS,
the application displays the chart clip of the origin airport. For information about chart clips,
see the “Working with Chart Clips” section.

Setting Origin and Destination Airports

Depending on your application’s connectivity to avionics, Terminal Charts might obtain the origin and
destination airport information from the FMS. If this information is available from the FMS, the airport ICAO
identifiers appear in the ORIGIN and DESTINATION fields. The application outlines the fields in green to
indicate that the fields were populated by an external source.

If necessary, you can modify this information by selecting the field and typing the four-character ICAO or
IATA identifier of the new airport. If you manually change an entry in the ORIGIN or DESTINATION field,
the green outline disappears.

ICAO identifier into the first available alternate field.

Updating Airports
When you define an airport in your route, Terminal Charts places the default charts for each route segment
into the chart clip. When you remove an airport from your route, Terminal Charts deletes the route
segments and all of the charts that are associated with it. If you remove an airport and do not replace it (for
example, you remove the airport from ALT4), the application recognizes the selection as “empty.”

If you replace a defined airport, the application notifies you that such a change will delete the previous
airport’s chart clip. Select YES to continue.

Understanding Chart Effectivity

Charts are updated when airport information changes. For example, an airport runway might be shut down
temporarily because of construction. For every database delivery cycle, Jeppesen delivers information
about the charts and airport information that have changed since the previous delivery; however, some
charts might be scheduled to undergo changes in the middle of a database release cycle. In such cases,
the database might contain two charts for a particular airport: One that is effective at the start of the
database cycle and one that becomes effective mid-cycle.

If an airport chart is current, Terminal Charts automatically adds it to the chart clip when you define that
airport for your route. If an airport chart will change within 24 hours of your flight date, you must select a)
the current chart before it reaches a new effective date or b) the chart that will become effective within
24 hours and add it to the chart clip. Terminal Charts does not pick a chart for you. See the “Viewing
Charts” section for more information.

Proprietary and Confidential
5-13
Revisions go into effect at midnight Zulu time of the effective date. On the Class 1 EFB, Terminal Charts
reference the operating system time. On the Class 2 or Class 3 EFB, Terminal Charts also reference
the operating system time, but the operating system acquires its date and time information from the
aircraft 429 data bus.

For example, suppose you selected a database on a flight to Seattle. Some of the charts for the Seattle
airport (KSEA) were revised on March 1 to coincide with the database cycle, but the charts will not become
effective until March 13. The database contains both charts. If you add the KSEA airport to your flight
within 24 hours of the revised chart becoming effective, the application displays a notification that the
airport contains charts in its clip that are effective on different dates.

Chart effectivity notification

In most scenarios, you will select the current version of a chart; however, you might need to view a
different version of the chart under the following and similar situations:

• Red-eye flights when you depart on a particular date and arrive on the following date, with charts
becoming effective on the arrival date.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
5-14
• Flights that involve crossing the International Date Line, when the flight originates on a particular date
and arrives on the preceding date, with charts becoming effective on the departure date.
• When charts are effective at a time other than 00:00 UTC. Terminal Charts does not recognize when a
chart is effective as of a specific time and you should confirm that you pulled the correct version.
• When a chart is rescinded through chart change notices.
• When charts are revised on consecutive days.
The Terminal Charts application enables you to view:

• Terminal charts that are current today

• Terminal charts that will become effective within 24 hours
• All terminal charts for an airport that are currently or will be effective within 24 hours

To select the current or future chart based on effectivity date, select the appropriate chart revision from the
CHART EFFECTIVITY screen.
• If you will fly to or from the airport before the revision date, select the BEFORE EFFECTIVE DATE
to add the existing chart to your clip.
• If you will fly to or from the airport on or after the revision date, select theON/AFTER EFFECTIVE DATE
to add the revised chart to your clip.

Working with Chart Clips

Chart clips are compilations of the default charts and other information (such as chart change notices)
that is associated with the airports you added to your flight. After you define the airports for your route,
you can modify the clips. The default contents of the chart clip are configurable by your administrator,
but they typically consist of the primary chart (usually the 10-9 or 20-9) and Jeppesen chart change
notices for that airport.

The Terminal Charts application creates a chart clip for every defined airport. After you define the origin,
destination, and alternate airports, you can select the charts you expect to use for the flight. Chart Change
Notices are automatically added to each chart clip.

NOTE: If an airport chart is current, it is automatically added to the chart clip for each airport that you
define for your route; however, if an airport chart will change within 24 hours of your flight date,
you must select the current chart before it reaches a new effective date or the chart that will
become effective within 24 hours and add it to the chart clip. The system will not automatically
pick a chart for you. See the “Viewing Charts” section for more information.

After you set up your route and select COMPLETE, Terminal Charts displays the CHART CLIP screen for
the origin airport.

Importing Chart Clips from an Offside EFB Device

Networked EFB devices use “offside communication” to share information. From your perspective, the
“onside” EFB device is your device; the “offside” EFB device is any other EFB device in the cockpit. When
offside communication is enabled, you can transfer chart clips between EFB devices. When the onside
EFB device is able to communicate with the offside EFB device, the Terminal Charts application enables
the USE CHART CLIP FROM OTHER EFB button. You and the other pilot must be running the same
version of Terminal Charts, and you must select databases with the same effectivity dates to enable offside
communication. If you select databases with different effectivity dates, the Terminal Charts application
displays a notification.

To import a chart clip from another EFB:

1. Select CHART UTILITIES from the Chart Clip screen.

2. Select USE CHART CLIP FROM OTHER EFB.
3. Select YES to confirm the transfer of the clip to your EFB.
If chart effectivity applied to the offside chart clip, the date range selection (BEFORE EFFECTIVE
DATE and ON/AFTER EFFECTIVE DATE) for each ICAO in the offside chart clip is transferred with the
chart clip to the onside Terminal Charts application.

NOTE: The new chart clip overwrites all previous chart clip selections on your EFB. The application
does allow a blank selection (empty chart clip) to replace an existing clip. Pilot-defined viewing
options applied to the charts in the clip (map rotation, panning, and zooming) do not transfer.

The application displays the ROUTE SETUP screen.

Printing Charts
You might be able to print Terminal Charts, including content your organization created and packaged
using the EFB Content Packager. For you to print on a Class 1 or Class 2 EFB, the default printer must be
defined. For you to print on a Class 3 EFB, the application must establish connectivity with the printer. For
all classes, your organization must enable the print function in the Terminal Charts configuration file.

If a printer is installed and configured to work with Terminal Charts, the application enables you to print the
current chart, print all charts in the current clip, or print all charts for an airport. The printed headers include
information about chart effectivity, a “TEMP” indicator if the chart is a temporary chart, and the name of
the chart color if the chart is a color chart. Additional header information includes validity notice, print
date and time, licensee information, the Jeppesen name (for Jeppesen charts), the application version
number, the database part effectivity information, and the database part number (if it is available from
the system. If the chart is no longer effective, the header contains the following notification: “EXPIRED
Chart - Superseded as of [revision date]”. If the chart is not yet effective, the header contains the following
notification: “FUTURE Chart - Supersedes as of [revision date]”.

Terminal Charts does not print split mode versions of charts, nor does it print any manipulations you
have applied to the chart. The application prints chart change notices and airport information in portrait
orientation.

To print:

• Select SHOW MENU > PRINT on the CHART and PREVIEW CHART screens to print the chart you
are viewing.
• Select PRINT CLIP on the CHART CLIP screen to print the charts in the clip.
• Select PRINT ALL CHARTS on the EDIT CHART CLIP screen to print all of the charts for an airport.
Because there may be many charts associated with an airport, you must select YES when the system
requests confirmation that you want to print all of the charts.
The Terminal Charts application performs EFB class-specific steps to complete the print operation.

Although you can print multiple charts, you can print only one print job at a time. The print buttons are
unavailable until a job completes.

On the Class 3 EFB, Terminal Charts reports the success or failure of the print job.

Troubleshooting
Terminal Charts might display the following fault notifications:
• CHARTS: CHART IS UNAVAILABLE—Indicates that certain charts in database are invalid or corrupt.
Under specific conditions, the application reports this fault if specific fields in the charts.dbf database
are blank (for example, Trim Size). The EFB displays this fault on the SYSTEM screen and the
Maintenance FAULT LOG screen, and the application shuts down.
• CHARTS: COVERAGE CODE MISMATCH—Indicates that the coverage code listed in the Customer
configuration file does not match the coverage code of the loaded Terminal Charts database. The
EFB displays this fault on the SYSTEM screen and the Maintenance FAULT LOG screen, and the
application shuts down.
• CHARTS: <SPN> FAILURE CRC—Indicates that the Terminal Charts configuration files or database
parts failed a validation (CRC) check. The short part number (SPN) identifies the part. The EFB

ONBOARD PERFORMANCE TOOL
Overview
Use the Onboard Performance Tool (OPT) application to perform real-time calculations based on various
performance factors while adhering to company and regulatory policies and procedures. Performance
factors include airport and aircraft data, which your organization manages and loads onto the EFB
pre-flight, and information about current conditions. Depending on the current conditions that you define,
OPT can correct performance calculations for pressure variation, runway conditions, engine bleeds,
minimum equipment list (MEL) items, configuration deviation list (CDL) items, and other factors that your
organization requires.

Each organization activates or deactivates certain performance functions. For example, your organization
might enable calculation functions for takeoff, landing, and weight and balance. In addition, your
organization sets its preferences (such as pounds or kilograms, flap configuration, and brake settings)
according to organization policy and fleet-management requirements.

The OPT application runs on Class 1, 2, and 3 EFB devices and can even run standalone. If the application
is running standalone, the EFB does not manage application initialization and shutdown.

Pilots use OPT to perform the following tasks:

• Perform basic calculations, including searching for an airport if the application is unable to retrieve
one from the FMS, calculating takeoff and landing performance, and performing weight-and-balance
calculations
• Perform advanced takeoff, landing, and weight-and-balance calculations, including adding and
removing temporary airports, reviewing airport data, entering corrections to NOTAMs, and applying
MEL or CDL performance penalties
• Print calculation information
• Switch to the EDB application

Using the OPT Application

The OPT application exhibits the following standard EFB behavior:

• To launch the application, select the application button on the MAIN MENU screen. Your organization
defines the text of the button label.
• To exit the application, select the MENU bezel button to return to the MAIN MENU screen.
• To view application faults, open the SYSTEM FAULT LOG screen. The EFB logs faults regarding
application failure, but the application does not report additional faults to the fault log. For more
information, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

NOTE: Unlike some other EFB applications, the OPT application does not display MEMO or MSG
notifications to indicate the existence of system messages; instead, the application displays error
messages during data-entry functions, enabling you to complete or revise the data.

Understanding Performance Data

OPT acquires data from three sources:

• The onboard flight computer (FMS or FMC)

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.
Proprietary and Confidential
6-1
• Databases that your organization manages and loads onto the EFB pre-flight
• Data you enter onboard the aircraft pre-flight.

Acquiring FMS-Reported Data

Upon flight initialization, the OPT application retrieves some or all of the following information from the
FMS if one is available:
• Origin airport
• Destination airport
• Outside air temperature (OAT)
• Altimeter setting
• Departure runway
• Gross weight

If the application is unable to retrieve this information, you can enter it.

Working with Organization-Managed Data

Your organization might configure and maintain the following data, which it loads onto the EFB pre-flight:

• Specific airport data, including information about airport elevation, runways, takeoff intersections, and
obstacles
• Specific airplane configuration and performance data, including information about aircraft and fuel
weights, tail number, engine type and rating, flap configurations, maximum loading capacity, and
center-of-gravity envelope
• Weight-and-balance data
• Notice to airmen (NOTAM) data that might affect performance, including information about temporary
runway construction, modifications, or obstacles at specific airports
• Required settings and corrections for applying performance penalties resulting from selected MEL
and CDL items
• Company policies, including information about V1 basis, use of lineup allowances, and contaminated
runway selections

Entering Data
For each flight, you can define the following information:

• Origin and destination airport if the application was unable to retrieve this information from the FMS.
• Takeoff and landing runway.
• Takeoff intersection.
• Runway condition.
• Current environmental conditions, such as outside air temperature, altimeter setting, and wind velocity
or component. Your organization defines the maximum allowable crosswind for each runway condition.
• Aircraft takeoff and landing weight.

OPT can perform the following types of takeoff calculations:
• Maximum weight (or if the selected weight is allowed)
• V speeds
• Optimum flap setting
• Minimum flap-retract height
• Selected or assumed temperature

NOTE: FMS-calculated takeoff speeds might differ from EFB-calculated takeoff speeds. FMS speeds
apply only in certain conditions. See your Operations Manual for more information.

OPT can perform the following types of landing calculations:

• Dispatch-related, maximum landing weights

• Enroute-related, airline-factored landing distances for normal configurations
• Enroute-related, airline-factored landing distances for non-normal configurations

The OPT weight-and-balance function uses pilot-entered weight values to calculate the planned takeoff
weight and center of gravity. It also uses these values to calculate the planned landing weight.

Accessing the Various Screens

When you first access the OPT application, it displays the TAKEOFF screen. If you previously accessed
the OPT application, the application displays the last screen that you viewed before exiting.

• To access the TAKEOFF screen, select the SHOW TAKEOFF button.

EFB DOCUMENT BROWSER
Use the EFB Document Browser application to view and search for electronic content that has been
uploaded to your EFB. This content can include documents and guides that are unique to your
organization, such as a Flight Crew Operations Manual, a Route Operations Manual, and a Minimum
Equipment List (MEL).

Each of the documents on your EFB can be in a different format. For example, the MEL might be in
PDF format, and the Flight Crew Operations Manual might be in XML or HTML format. Depending on
the type of document, the EFB Document Viewer menu displays different options, and the documents
demonstrate different behaviors in the viewer.

NOTE: The term “document” describes a book, guide, handbook, or other entire document. The term
“chapter” refers to a section, part, or other division of a document.

Pilots use the EFB Document Browser to perform the following tasks:

• View XML, HTML, and PDF content

• Bookmark content for easy future reference
• Search for XML, HTML, and PDF content
• Print XML, HTML, and PDF content

Using the EFB Document Browser Application

The EFB Document Browser application exhibits standard EFB behavior. For more information, see
the “Using the EFB” chapter.

Understanding Document Effectivity

Organizations might associate document revisions with a date upon which the revisions become effective
(effectivity date) and a date upon which the revisions are no longer effective (expiration date).

Upon flight initialization, the EFB Document Browser application automatically selects the currently
effective revision of each document according to its effectivity date range and the flight start date as
reported by the EFB. In some cases, all uploaded revisions of a document might be out of date, more than
one revision might be effective on the current date, or one revision might be effective at flight start date and
the second revision might be effective later in the flight. In such cases, the application displays a MEMO
notification upon flight initialization and prompts you to select the appropriate document.

Understanding XML and HTML Document Conventions

XML and HTML documents that conform to the EFB Document Browser XML and HTML schema adhere
to the following conventions:
• Warnings display the “WARNING” text in red capital letters.
• Linked text is denoted by a dark gray box around the specific text.
• Notes display the “NOTE” text in white capital letters.
• Cautions display the “CAUTION” text in amber capital letters.

The XML and HTML Conventions table shows examples of these document conventions.

The EFB Document Browser provides a variety of access points to content:

• Select a document from the document library.

• Select a chapter from the table of contents.
• Select a document or chapter from the history list.
• Select bookmarked content.

You can view only one document at a time. If you navigate away from the open content, select SHOW
MENU > RETURN TO OPEN CONTENT to return to it. After you initialize a flight and select a document
for viewing, it remains open until you load another one, even if you close the EFB Document Browser
and return later.

If you previously accessed the EFB Document Browser application, the system displays the last screen
you viewed before you closed the application.

For XML and HTML documents, the application’s default setting is to display the content that is associated
with a specific tail number. In some configurations, you can select SHOW MENU > FILTER CONTENT.
Consult your organization’s documentation for more information.

Selecting a Document from the Document Library

The DOCUMENT LIBRARY screen displays all of the documents that have been uploaded to your EFB.
The document library can contain single documents and groups of documents. For example, the document
library might include a “Flight Operations” group, and that group might contain a collection of documents
for pilots to use in the flight deck. Documents are listed individually or grouped into categories. The
application indicates grouped documents by including an ellipsis (...) on the document button.

DATA LOAD
The Boeing Data Load application is a pilot utility that enables one-touch loading of Application Data
Enhanced Load (ADEL)-eligible application data directly from the flight deck without maintenance
intervention. This application runs on the Boeing Class 2 and Class 3 EFB. The DATA LOAD button does
not appear on the Boeing Class 1 EFB.

Pilots use the Data Load application to load ADEL-eligible data for Airport Moving Map (AMM), Terminal
Charts, the Onboard Performance Tool (OPT), and the EFB Document Browser (EDB). The data loading
process updates only the applications that have been installed on your system.

Your airline defines the process for loading data to your airplane and must configure your EFB to support
ADEL before you can use the Data Load application.

Using the Data Load Application

The Data Load application exhibits the following standard EFB behavior:

• To launch the application, select the DATA LOAD button on the MAIN MENU screen. The label and
position of this button is controlled by Boeing and is not configurable.
• To exit the application, select the MENU bezel button to return to the MAIN MENU screen.
• To view system messages (indicated by MEMO or MSG notifications), select the application button on
the MAIN MENU screen. The application displays the appropriate message.
In the case of the Data Load application, a MEMO notification indicates that data is available to load.
See the "Understanding Data Availability" section for more information.
• To view application faults, open the SYSTEM FAULT LOG screen.

For more information about standard EFB behavior, see the "Using the EFB" chapter.

Understanding Data Availability

Perform data load functions between flight close and flight initialization. After flight initialization, the
application will not load data.

When data is available for loading, the Data Load application displays a MEMO notification next to the
DATA LOAD button on the MAIN MENU screen.

Select the MENU bezel button to return to the MAIN MENU screen.

If you select the DATA LOAD button after the flight has been initialized, the LOAD button is disabled
just as it is when no data is available for loading. Select the MENU bezel button to return to the MAIN
MENU screen.

Loading Data onto the EFB

Before flight initialization, the EFB notifies the Data Load application when new data is available for
loading. When data is available, the Data Load application displays a MEMO notification in the top corner
of the MAIN MENU screen and next to the DATA LOAD button. If you do not load the data at this time and
opt to initialize the flight, the data will be available again after flight close.

Typical data load time is less than one minute.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
9-4
NOTE: The data load operation occurs independently on each EFB. Loading data onto your EFB does
not automatically sync the data on the other EFB; rather, this operation must be performed on
both the left and right EFB for both EFBs to be using the new data. It is extremely important that
your organization follows a systematic process for coordinating the data loading on both EFBs.

To load data:

1. From the MAIN MENU screen, select the DATA LOAD button.
The application displays a notification that data is available for loading, and the LOAD button is enabled.

Data is available for loading

2. Select LOAD.
Because the Data Load application can load parts for the AMM, Terminal Charts, OPT, and EDB
applications, it shuts down all four of these applications while it loads the new data. After the Data Load
application loads the data, the LOAD button displays a COMPLETE notification, the MEMO notification

the data load and restarting processes. The buttons turn gray after the applications have restarted.

EFB is restarting affected applications

Ensuring that Data Loaded

To verify from the DATA LOAD screen that parts have loaded:

1. Confirm that the status on the LOAD button reads “COMPLETE”.

2. Return to the MAIN MENU and confirm that the MEMO notification next to the DATA LOAD button no
longer appears.
3. Confirm that the buttons for all ADEL-eligible applications are gray, indicating that the applications
have restarted.

ELECTRONIC FLIGHT FOLDER
The Boeing Electronic Flight Folder (EFF) application is an electronic flight-briefing package that replaces
day-of-flight paper documentation. Organizations use this comprehensive package to transmit day-of-flight
data from ground systems to the airborne Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) so that pilots have real-time access
to all information related to the flight plan. Pilots can enter data in specific areas of the flight plan and
acquire last-minute updates and revisions. This application operates on the Boeing Class 1, Class 2,
and Class 3 EFB.

When the EFB is connected to an avionics bus, the EFF application imports some types of aircraft
data to record flight progress. This aircraft data can include takeoff and landing times collected from
weight-on-wheels (WOW) data and time and fuel information gathered from specified waypoints along the
route. When appropriate, pilots can modify specific types of flight-progress data directly on the EFB.

The contents of the flight folder depend on the contents of the flight plan. Flight folders can include flight
plan, weather, Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), loadsheet, and Notification to Captain (NOTOC) information.
EFF can also contain one topic of your organization’s choice. EFF assists flight crews from briefing through
post-flight operations, which streamlines current operational practices and reduces pilot workload.

On connected EFBs, the EFF synchronization function ensures that both pilots are working with the
same data at all times. If both pilots enter data on the same screen, EFF records the data with the most
current time stamp.

Your organization defines the process for uploading flight folders to your aircraft. In addition, your
organization defines the interaction between EFF and the other EFB applications on your system.

The EFF data structure is standardized based on ARINC 633 parameters.

NOTE: All examples in this document are for illustration purposes and represent only one potential layout
for EFF. Your organization configures your specific layout.

Using the EFF Application

The EFF application exhibits the following standard EFB behavior:

• To launch the application, select the application button on the MAIN MENU. Your organization defines
the text of the button label.
• To exit the application, select the MENU bezel button. The application displays the MAIN MENU.
• To view system messages (indicated by MEMO or MSG notifications), select the application button on
the MAIN MENU. The application displays the appropriate message.
Follow the on-screen instructions to acknowledge or resolve each MEMO notification.
• To view application faults, open the SYSTEM FAULT LOG page. The application also displays some
on-screen fault notifications during flight under certain conditions. For more information, see the
“Troubleshooting” section.
For more information about standard EFB behavior, see the “Using the EFB” chapter.

EFF exhibits the following standard behavior that is specific to the EFF application:
• To close a flight folder, close the flight from the MAIN MENU. When you close a flight, EFF discards any
unsaved data, marks the folder as CLOSED, and sends the data to ground.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-1
 NOTE: When both EFBs perform the CLOSE FLIGHT action, EFF sends the closed flight folder with
the most current update time stamp to ground. If the two EFBs are not in communication with
each other, EFF sends the closed flight folder from each EFB to ground, and ground personnel
follow established procedures to resolve the duplicated flight folder data.

• To disable or enable the virtual keyboard from the EFF – HOME page, select SHOW MENU > DISABLE
KYBD or SHOW MENU > ENABLE KYBD. Your organization might have disabled your virtual keyboard
by default, and enabling the keyboard here overrides that setting. When you disable or enable the
keyboard in EFF, the new settings affect only the EFF application; they do not disable or enable the
keyboard setting in other EFB applications. When the keyboard is enabled, EFF displays the virtual
keyboard whenever you select an option that requires text entry. When EFF displays the keyboard, the
keyboard scrolls up slowly from the bottom of the page. The content you are editing also scrolls up
so that it remains visible, and EFF displays a scroll bar, which enables you to scroll the contents of
the page above the virtual keyboard.
• To view available menu options, select SHOW MENU. When you do so, all available menu options
appear in a cascading menu to the right of the button, and the button label changes to HIDE MENU.
Select HIDE MENU to hide the menu options.

NOTE: A menu option might be available and disabled, depending on the state of the EFF data.

• EFF displays a MEMO notification when ground personnel issue updates to a flight folder. Select OK to
acknowledge the MEMO notification.

Signing a Flight Plan, a Loadsheet, or NOTOCs

Depending on your organization’s needs, you might be required to sign any or all of the following
components:
• Flight Plan
• Loadsheet
• NOTOC

Your organization can set up EFF to generate a MEMO notification if you fail to make required signatures.
The application can generate these memos at specific airplane events, and these events can vary from
one airplane type to another (such as from a 777 to a 787). For example, an organization can set up a

777 to generate a MEMO notification upon the closure of the aircraft doors to alert you that the flight
plan, NOTOC, or loadsheet are not yet signed.

EFF can be configured to validate a user’s signature to ensure the identity of personnel who sign
documents that require signatures. EFF validates a user’s signature by comparing the credentials supplied
by the user against the user’s credentials in the Crew Data file (CDF) Validation is not meant to prohibit
nonvalidated individuals from using the application. If your organization requires onboard validation, the
application directs you to the Signature Accounts page before you can sign the component. Depending on
operational requirements, you might be able to sign the component with a provisional signature, even if
you are not identified in the CDF. Provisional signatures remain on the EFB until the flight is closed.

NOTE: If your EFB is loaded with a Crew Data file (CDF), and your organization requires on-board
validation of signatures, the steps to sign and validate a component of the flight folder differ
slightly.

Signing with No On-Board Validation Required

If your organization requires a password for signatures, the signature pages display a password field. The
signature pages might also include additional information, such as a disclaimer.

The password that you enter in EFF is not used to validate you on the EFB. The password information is
part of the signature information sent to ground. The signature information is encrypted so that ground
systems can validate it at a separate time based on your organization’s procedures; EFF does not require
that the signature be verified before departure.

Understanding How EFF Uses the Fuel Adjustments Data

You can change the Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) or Arrival Fuel on the FUEL & WEIGHTS page. If the
FLIGHT PLAN HEADER page provides fuel adjustment parameters for ZFW, any changes that you make
to your actual ZFW or actual arrival fuel values in the FUEL & WEIGHTS page will be affected by those
fuel adjustment parameters, and any changes that you make to these values affect the total calculations.

NOTE: Zero Fuel Weight is based on either the structural weight or the operational weight of the
aircraft—whichever value is provided. If both values have been provided, the value that appears
in the ZFW field is the lower of these two values.

Changes that you make to certain fuel and weight parameters can affect RAMP WT. Your organization can
define a limit regarding the amount that the calculated RAMP WT can exceed the planned RAMP WT.
© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.
Proprietary and Confidential
10-33
If changes that you make to fuel and weight parameters cause the ramp weight to exceed the defined
limit, the application displays a message that prompts you to request a new flight plan. In the following
example message, the amount by which the calculated or manually entered RAMP WT can exceed
the planned value is 1,000:

Ramp Weight Threshold Exceeded message

The following section describes how EFF calculates fuel and weights values when you make changes to
the Extra or Additional Fuel, ZFW, or Arrival Fuel values.

Changing Extra or Additional Fuel

In this simplified example, you will see how EFF takes into account any changes that you make to the
Extra or Additional Fuel values to adjust other affected parameters.

Assume that the following figure illustrates your initial conditions.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-34
 Initial Conditions

EFF has copied all estimated/plan values into the ACTUAL column because the assumption is that you will
use the values that have been precalculated by your dispatcher unless you need to change them.

In this example, because of changing conditions, you need to carry 2000.0 units more fuel for the flight.
When you make the change to add extra fuel, EFF recalculates affected parameters. In this example, the
takeoff fuel (TOF) and ramp fuel (RAMPFUEL) are adjusted as follows:

TOF = TRIPFUEL + ALT FUEL (YBMA) + EXTRA fuel

RAMPFUEL = TOF + taxi fuel

See the following figure.

10-35
 Adjusted takeoff fuel (TO FUEL) and block fuel (BLK FUEL)

NOTE: If you reduce a preset amount of the plan/estimated Extra or Additional Fuel, EFF will take this
reduction into account and adjust the takeoff fuel and ramp fuel values accordingly.

How ZFW Adjustment Data Affects Fuel and Weight Values

The ZFW adjustment data affects fuel and weight values in two ways: when you change the ZFW and
when you change the arrival fuel. This section describes each situation separately.

ZFW Adjustments

Some flight plans provide impacts to trip fuel if the Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) is changed. These impacts are
provided to help flight crews quickly determine any changed fuel requirements for the flight. EFF uses

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-36
these simplified adjustments to calculate affected parameters if you change your ZFW. (For EFF, these
fuel adjustments are provided on the FLIGHT PLAN HEADER page.)

Assume that the data in the following figure represents your plan/estimated data.

Plan/Estimated Data

Also, assume that your dispatcher has prepared the flight plan with the following fuel adjustments (which
will appear on the FLIGHT PLAN HEADER page) in case of changed ZFW.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-37
 Planned Fuel Adjustments

The flight plan provides simple adjustments for ZFW increases or decreases. What this data shows is that
for every 1000 lb of ZFW increase from the plan, you need to increase your trip fuel by 732 lb to ensure
you arrive with required reserves; conversely, for every 1000 lb of ZFW decrease, you can decrease
your trip fuel by 710 lb.

NOTE: For EFF to be aware of these adjustments, the label used for trip fuel (“TRIPFUEL”) in the FUEL
ADJUSTMENTS area must match the label for trip fuel on the FUEL AND WEIGHTS page.

For this exercise, assume that your ZFW has increased by 1000 lb. According to the adjustment values in
the example above, an increase of ZFW by 1000 lb requires an increase of trip fuel by 732 lb. When the
ZFW change drives a change in trip fuel, a resulting effect occurs on your takeoff fuel:

Takeoff Fuel (TOF) = TRIPFUEL + ALT FUEL + EXTRA fuel

Because the Takeoff Weight (TOW) = TOF + ZFW, TOW increases by 1732 lb (1000 lb from the ZFW
change, plus 732 lb for the TRIPFUEL change).

And because Landing Weight (LW) = TOW – TRIPFUEL, LW increases by 1000 lb.

The ramp fuel (RAMPFUEL) and ramp weight (RAMPWT) values are also recalculated. The following
figure shows the resulting values caused by the increase of ZFW and fuel adjustments to account
for that change.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-38
 Recalculated values

EFF adjusts the trip fuel proportionally to the amount by which ZFW has changed. In the previous example,
if the increase had been 500 lbs, the trip fuel adjustments would be 366 lbs.

Arrival Fuel Changes

In addition to adjusting for changes to ZFW, EFF adjusts the trip fuel when you change your arrival fuel.

NOTE: EFF does not use arrival fuel (ARR FUEL) values to calculate the trip fuel; rather, EFF uses
the difference in fuel between the plan and your intended actual arrival fuel to determine the
additional trip fuel or burnoff needed to arrive at your destination with your desired fuel amount.

By definition, your arrival fuel is the amount with which you want to arrive at your destination. Therefore, if
you want to arrive with more fuel than what the plan was based on, you need to account for the fuel that
you will need to burn to haul the additional arrival fuel to your destination.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-39
Assume that the ARR FUEL value planned for you is 14513 lbs, as indicated in the previous example.
Now, assume that you want to have 1000 lbs more fuel at your destination than described by the plan. In
EFF, you enter 15513 (the sum of 14513 and 1000) in the ACTUAL input field for ARR FUEL. This change
now results in changes to the values for TRIPFUEL, takeoff fuel (TOF), TOW, ramp fuel (RAMPFUEL),
and ramp weight (RAMPWT). See the results in the following figure.

Additional Resulting Changes

If both the ZFW and ARR FUEL are changed, the ZFW change and the ARRFUEL change adjustments
are each made on affected parameters. See the following figure.

Working with Flight Time Summary Information

The EFF – FLT TIME SUMMARY page displays the planned and actual Out, Off, On, In (OOOI), and Taxi
times. Your organization defines the attributes that appear on this page, and some of the values are
editable. The application obtains the actual values from avionics or from your inputs and uses them to
calculate flight time and block time for the flight in Zulu (z) time.

The dates in the date field correspond to the current system date. Select the left or right arrow to modify
these dates. You can also enter a date directly in the date field.

If you enter an erroneous value, the application displays the following notification:

THE DATE IN <FIELD NAME> IS LESS THAN THE FLIGHT ORIGIN DATE. PLEASE CORRECT.

If the EFB is connected to avionics, EFF uses the weight-on-wheels (WOW) discrete to capture takeoff
(Off) and landing (On) times. You can enter the Off or On times manually. EFF uses the actual takeoff time
on this page to calculate a revised estimated time of arrival (RETA) at the waypoints in the flight plan.
© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.
Proprietary and Confidential
10-41
The date fields on this page will equal the airplane’s date value. You can change these values by using
the right or left arrows or by manually typing a date in the input field; the change is saved as long as
it meets the appropriate criteria for verification.

EFF does not acquire the Out and In times, so you must enter these values manually.

Note that if you increment the date of an OOOI event, the application increments any subsequent OOOI
event as well. If a particular time value is blank, EFF does not permit you to enter a DATE value that occurs
before a preceding OOOI event. Instead, the application displays the following message:

THE ENTERED <FIELD NAME> DATE IS LESS THAN THE <PRECEDING OOOI FIELD> DATE.
PLEASE CORRECT.

NOTE: If you enter a date and time combination that does not require a date change to preserve integrity,
EFF does not increment date values for subsequent OOOI events. For example, if you enter a
time for an OOOI event that has a preceding event with a blank time field, EFF checks the value
in the date field only to ensure that chronological order is preserved.

If actual flight time, which is the difference between the off and on times, equals or exceeds 24 hours, EFF
displays the value in amber. Similarly, if block time equals or exceeds 24 hours, the value appears in amber.

Working with Fuel & Weights Information

Use the information on the EFF – FUEL & WEIGHTS page to evaluate planned fuel and weights flight data
and make any necessary adjustments. You might need to make adjustments to account for last-minute
changes or changing conditions. Your organization defines the attributes that appear on this page. EFF
segregates the information into the estimated (or plan) values, duration times, limits (operational and
structural weights uploaded from the flight plan), and the actual values.

When the flight folder is uploaded to the EFB, EFF copies the estimated values to the Actual column. (The
assumption is that you will depart with plan data unless you have a reason to change these values.)
EFF uses the actual takeoff fuel to assign the revised estimated fuel onboard for all waypoints in the
flight plan on the waypoints page. If you change the actual takeoff fuel (or change another parameter
that affects a takeoff fuel change), EFF uses the new value to calculate revised estimated fuel onboard
values for the waypoints.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-43
If the actual weight values exceed the provided limit weights, EFF indicates the actual values in amber.
Depending on your organization’s requirements, EFF might require that the airplane be on the ground
before it grants access to the fuel and weights data in the active flight folder. If your organization configures
this setting, the input fields are locked out after the airplane is off the ground, and you are unable to
make changes.

If you change the ZFW, EFF calculates new fuel and weight values as appropriate. If you add extra
or additional fuel at departure, EFF adjusts takeoff fuel, takeoff weight, landing weight, and ramp fuel
by the same amount.

If the operational flight plan specifies more than one alternate airport (for example, an arrival alternate, a
primary arrival alternate and a destination alternate), you can choose another alternate airport from a list.
When you choose an airport other than the alternate airport currently shown on the FUEL & WEIGHTS
page, EFF recalculates fuel and weight parameters accordingly. Note that if you choose an airport other
than the primary arrival alternate or the primary destination alternate, the airport code appears in green. If
the operational flight plan does not specify a primary destination or arrival alternate, the list provides an
option to specify a “no alternates” condition. If you choose this option, EFF labels this row “NO ALTS.”

contain a single block of wind and temperature information for applicable flight levels. For the Cruise
section, specific wind and temperature data is shown for each waypoint in the route. (If a particular
waypoint has no associated wind and temperature data, EFF displays a note indicating that no data
is available for the waypoint.)

Your organization can specify up to four types of data from the Upper Air Data file. In the example that
follows, the four data types are Horizontal Wind, Vertical Wind, International Standard Atmosphere,
and Temperature.

In the Cruise section, each waypoint includes the name of the waypoint, its lat/long coordinates, and its
tropopause value. For each applicable flight level, EFF displays the wind and temperature values that
your organization specifies.

 Waypoints attributes and their corresponding values

EFF applies the following logic for displaying the attributes for each waypoint:

• If no value exists for an attribute in the uploaded flight plan, EFF displays a blank space.
• If EFF receives the value from the aircraft systems, or if the flight crew enters the value, EFF displays
it in green.
• If the attribute corresponds to a value that is reserved for flight crew or aircraft system input, EFF
displays dashes until a value is available.

EFF calculates values for the DIFF (difference) column based on actual versus estimated time over
waypoint, and for actual versus estimated fuel on board. EFF displays the difference value as positive or
negative based on whether the actual value is greater or less than the estimated value, respectively. If the
actual fuel on board is less than the estimated fuel on board, EFF displays the difference in amber.

The following options associated with the SHOW MENU button on the EFF – WAYPOINTS page are
specific to waypoints.

• ACTIVE WAYPOINT—Scrolls the list of waypoints on the page so that the active waypoint appears
second from the top of the page. The preceding waypoint appears at the top.

NOTE: Depending on your organization’s settings, ETOPS critical position points might appear on this
page. ETOPS critical positions are sorted among the flight plan waypoints based on a comparison
of the ETOPS critical time to the cumulative flight time of waypoints. For example, to determine
where to place an ETOPS entry position, the application first compares the critical time value
with the cumulative flight time of all waypoints. EFF then inserts the name of the critical position
between the waypoint whose time is greater than the critical time and the waypoint whose time is
less than the critical time.

Working with Waypoints

As you fly, use the EFF – WAYPOINTS page to monitor and log the progress of your flight.

If your EFB is configured to acquire avionics data, EFF automatically logs and displays applicable data
as you cross waypoints. Most Class 3 and Class 2 environments are configured to acquire this data.
A Class 1 EFB might not acquire avionics data.

If your EFB does acquire avionics data, EFF records all waypoints as they are crossed, regardless of
whether they are listed in the flight plan; however, if the waypoints are not in the flight plan, EFF will not
display them. Instead, the application records such data “in the background.”

EFF displays the active waypoint (the waypoint for which the FMC is currently broadcasting) in magenta.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-73
 Active waypoint in magenta

For EFF to collect avionics data for a waypoint in the active flight plan, the waypoint name in EFF must
exactly match the waypoint name in the FMC. If the waypoint names do not match, EFF does not apply
any special color code to the waypoint name.

You can edit or enter inputs for any waypoint elements or attributes that EFF displays. Manual entries
have the highest priority in EFF and override data from the flight plan or FMC-acquired data.

EFF assigns the following priorities to the three input types:

• Data manually entered by the flight crew—Overrides any other inputs

• GET FM DATA action—Overrides inputs automatically imported from avionics
• Avionics automatic import—Default input if the EFB is connected to avionics

EFF distinguishes actual values at a waypoint from the planned data in green, enabling you to easily
determine how the flight is progressing compared with the plan.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-74
NOTE: To enable waypoint data inputs, the flight plan must be signed or activated.

To edit or enter waypoint data:

1. Select a waypoint to display the EFF – WAYPOINT DETAILS page.

2. Make the appropriate entries. When you input a new value, EFF calculates the difference between
the estimated value and the actual value and displays the difference between the two values in the
DIFF column (if applicable).
If you enter any comments, EFF displays a NOTE indicator on the EFF – WAYPOINTS page.

NOTE: If you need to clear any erroneously entered data, select SHOW MENU > CLEAR DATA. EFF
clears all entries, and reverts input fields to the state they were in when the information was
most recently saved. Note, however, that if your administrator has configured EFF to display
revised estimated times and fuel at waypoints and if you need only to clear any erroneously
entered data in either the RETA field or the EFOBC field, select SHOW MENU > Restore
Values to revert to the previously saved values.

3. Select ACCEPT.
ACCEPT commits the data and syncs it with the other EFBs in the cockpit if the systems are connected.
4. Select SHOW MENU > WAYPOINTS MAIN to return to the EFF – WAYPOINTS page.

In some cases, you might want to manually capture data from avionics about a specific waypoint.

To manually capture waypoint data from avionics:

2. Select SHOW MENU > GET FM DATA.
EFF logs the data acquired at that moment.
3. Select ACCEPT.
4. Select SHOW MENU > WAYPOINTS MAIN to return to the EFF – WAYPOINTS page.

Waypoints Data Calculations

This section describes how EFF uses takeoff time to calculate revised estimated times over waypoints.

If your administrator has configured EFF to display revised estimated times and fuel at waypoints, the
following information is important to your understanding of how EFF calculates those values based on data
that you enter. This document covers the time and fuel calculations separately.

Revised Estimated Time Calculations

When your actual takeoff time is known (you have entered a value or EFF has used the Weight-On-Wheels
discrete to determine the wheels-up time), EFF calculates the revised times for each waypoint over
the entire route.

In the following figure, you see that the actual takeoff time was 1752z.

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-75
 Actual Takeoff Time

When this actual takeoff time is known, EFF calculates the revised estimated time of arrival over the
waypoints (the RETA column in the following figure) based on the time between waypoints that was
provided in the flight plan (ZTIME column). For instance, actual takeoff time is 1752z, and time to the first
waypoint is 0001 minutes (ZTIME); thus, the RETA for that first waypoint is now 1753z (1752z + 0001).

RETA for the First Waypoint

The RETA for each subsequent waypoint is based on the RETA of the preceding waypoint. However,
your organization can configure the application so that when the aircraft passes over each waypoint and
the ATA is established (either from aircraft systems or manually entered data), the ATA value is used to
© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.
Proprietary and Confidential
10-76
recalculate the RETA of all subsequent waypoints. For example, assume that the aircraft passed waypoint
KGEG at 1754z rather than at the RETA of 1753z. Note that the RETA for GANGS has been revised
upward by one minute to 1759z, as shown in the following figure:

RETA for Subsequent Waypoints

Revised Estimated Fuel Onboard

EFF uses the actual takeoff fuel to determine the revised estimated fuel onboard (EFOBC) values for
each waypoint on the route.

In the following figure, you see that the actual takeoff fuel is 111629.

Actual Takeoff Fuel

© Jeppesen 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Proprietary and Confidential
10-77
EFF calculates the revised estimated fuel onboard (EFOBC column in the following figure) based on the
actual takeoff fuel and the fuel burnoff between each waypoint (BURNOFF column). The burnoff shown at
a waypoint is the amount of fuel burn from the previous waypoint to the current waypoint. For example,
the actual takeoff fuel is 111629, and that fuel is assigned to EFOBC for the first waypoint (KGEG). For
the next waypoint (GANGS), burnoff is 3440, and the EFOBC value becomes 108189 (111629 – 3440).
The pattern is repeated for all remaining waypoints in the flight plan.

Revised EFOBC

EFF can also calculate and display the difference between the actual fuel on board and the estimated fuel
on board. To perform this calculation, the following conditions must be present:

• The actual fuel on board must have a value.

• The estimated fuel on board (or the corrected estimated fuel on board) must have a value.

If the difference between the actual fuel on board and the estimated fuel on board is a negative value, EFF
displays this value in amber.

Updating Flight Folders

Depending on your organization’s policies, you might receive updates to a flight folder, including updates
to a flight plan that you have already signed or activated. Refer to your organization’s procedures for
activating or rejecting updated flight plan data. You must activate the updated flight plan data to record

APPENDIX A
TSOA-Required Information
This appendix contains information about the Jeppesen AMM technology. This technology is authorized
under TSO C-165 as an "incomplete system." As such, the functionality that the AMM technology provides
is fully dependent on the integration of the technology into a target Windows EFB environment. Additionally,
the integration of this technology depends on the presence of an enabling layer of software components.

The following figure illustrates the three mutually dependent "layers" of software components in a Windows
EFB environment. When installed per these instructions, the Jeppesen AMM incomplete system will
continue to meet the requirements of TSO C-165.

clock for the following situations:
• The EFB battery is completely discharged.
• An EFB error occurs that requires you to restore the operating
system.
• The EFB clock must be synchronized with the flight deck clock.
To reset the clock:
1. Access the IDENT screen.
2. Select SET CLOCK.
The DATE and TIME boxes are now input-capable.
3. Use the virtual keyboard to enter the correct information.
