ERJs Can Get GEN-X Class 3 EFB
DAC International Inc. announced the GEN-X Class 3 Electronic Flight Bag System has been approved for Class 2 installation in a series of Embraer Regional Jets. GEN-X meets the requirements of professional users demanding a true avionics grade Class 3 EFB, however it’s offered in the price range previously found only in Class 2 EFB products, said DAC.
GEN-X features an almost total touch-screen design with the only hard buttons being display-on/off and brightness. The full touch control allows complete user flexibility in 3rd party software, as well as extremely intuitive operation that keeps down or eliminates training costs. GEN-X effectively bridges the gap between Class 2 and Class 3 EFB’s to bring professional operators a cost-effective retrofit solution that supports the users’ Windows based applications along with a full suite of EFB applications.
GENESYS supports digital chart data from Maptech, Jeppesen or Lido. A full suite of software modules include applications to support easy viewing, handling and updating of publications as well as weather, performance, checklist, cameras, flight papers, third-party applications and more.
GENESYS also provides operators the back-office server side software for complete centralized control and automatic update of all charts, publications, software and data.
