The Benefits of EFB Integration

Now, you might be wondering, "Why do we need EFB integration?" Well, here are some benefits that might just convince you:

Streamlined Data Management
The skybook EFB allows for seamless synchronization of data across different devices. With changes to the nav log instantly synced to a second iPad device for example. Say goodbye to the hassle of manually updating charts and operational documents!

With EFB integration, you can ensure that all relevant information is automatically updated and easily accessible, leading to increased efficiency and improved pilot workflows.

Enhanced Collaboration
EFB integration enables real-time communication and sharing of information between the cockpit and the ground crew. Pilots can quickly relay crucial data such as weather conditions, flight plans, and operational changes, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

This level of collaboration leads to improved situational awareness, operational efficiency and flight safety.

Simplified Compliance
Compliance with regulatory requirements is essential in the aviation industry. The skybook EFB integration capabilities provide improved compliance by automatically updating certain information, ensuring accuracy and reducing the risk of missed information.

All flight data from the EFB integrates directly to the skybook Ground Portal system for instant access to post-flight analysis data and flight data storage.

No more manually inputting post-flight information hours or days after the flight. This simplified compliance process saves time and effort for both flight crews and operators.
