Is your EFB causing “app fatigue”?
Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) have transformed the flight deck by expediting access to vital information. However, the rise in EFB applications has introduced a new layer of complexity, creating a surplus of tools for airlines to manage and for pilots to navigate.
A typical airline manages an average of ten EFB applications, with some exceeding fifteen, according to research from Jeppesen ForeFlight. This application sprawl introduces complexity and inefficiency across all airline operations, causing friction for both ground teams and flight crews.
In a discussion with FlightGlobal, Jeppesen ForeFlight’s Integrated Product Team Lead, Jeff Herron, addressed the growing issue of app fatigue in commercial aviation and detailed how an integrated EFB effectively mitigates this challenge.
