IndiGo introduced the launch of its ‘NextGen EFB’ program, equipping all ATR pilots with particular person iPad ninth era units. This initiative reinforces IndiGo’s dedication to development in digitization and enhanced operational effectivity within the cockpit.
The ‘NextGen EFB’ program equips pilots with quicker, extra environment friendly, and brighter iPad ninth era units, that includes the highly effective A13 Bionic chip and a ten.2-inch Retina show. This empowers pilots with pre-loaded paperwork, charts, and an onboard efficiency instrument for exact plane monitoring.
IndiGo launched Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) on its ATR fleet in 2020, IndiGo has operated roughly 450,000 flights utilizing this know-how. Digitisation of EFB have yielded important enhancements in operational effectivity and a discount of 15kg of paper from every ATR cockpit, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.
Captain Ashim Mittra, Senior Vice President Flight Operations, IndiGo mentioned: “We’re thrilled to be launching the ‘NextGen EFB’ program, a significant milestone in IndiGo’s commitment to technological advancement and our valued pilots. This program not only enhances operational efficiency but also empowers our ATR pilots with the latest tools and resources. We’re starting with existing EFB applications in Phase I, with plans to expand functionality and eventually achieve a completely paperless ATR cockpit in Phase II. We will also integrate the Electronic Flight Folder (EFF), which will revolutionize our current paper processes by automatically importing flight briefing folders to your EFB devices before each flight. As we embark on this exciting phase, we will continue to introduce innovative technologies designed to streamline our operations and improve customer experience.”
This program affords pilots higher flexibility and management over their pre-flight preparations, coaching, and steady studying. Additionally, the ‘NextGen EFB’ iPads facilitate seamless communication between pilots and the corporate.
