EASA OKs navAero EFB

navAero has received Supplemental Type Certification of its Electronic Flight Bag for the Boeing 737-300/400/500/600/700/800/900 Series aircraft. Executed on behalf of navAero by Saab Aerotech, Aircraft Services in cooperation with SAS Scandinavian Airlines, this marks the first EASA Approved STC for the EFB and marks yet another certification achieved by navAero. The STC EASA.A.S.03259 for the B737-NG and Classic Series aircraft was issued on February 22, 2008 by the European Aviation Safety Agency. The installation was executed as a part of the NUP II+ Project VDLM4 and CPDLC Operational trials at Stockholm-Arlanda. The navAero hardware is designed to run any airline-specific software applications or commercially available software solution that will run under the Microsoft™ Windows XP Professional operating system. And the EFB system has the built-in capability that affords operators with the ability to choose from a wide range of communications options for the wireless movement of data on-to and off-of the aircraft.
