NetJets ever getting EFB?

[atpcliff]

hi!

If each pilot has their own Jepps at NJ, wouldn't they need 2 flight cases? Our Jepps are up to 14 books right now, and that's only for the US, Latin America and Eastern Canada. I'm sure glad we have them in the plane vs. having to carry them around!

We do have Q-service, there is one set of jepps per airplane. Which ones you carry depend on which fleet you are in. For example in the Ultra/Emcore we have the US, Canada/Alaska, and Latin America. We as pilots don't carry any jepps (hooray!), only an FOM which is why you wont see the majority of us with a flight case. The pilots are responsible for doing the updates but usually it just means that you might have to do one or maybe two updates unless the plane hasnt flown in awhile - its no big deal. The Q service inserts are pretty painless, but i'd still rather have an EFB.

Dumb question about the EFB, can you print the plates out for it somehow if you want or is it just on the display??

From your post, I couldn't tell if you actually thought we carried Jepps around. At NetJets, the Jepps are assigned to the plane. No one is carrying flight bags loaded with Jepps.

Hi!

I got it figured out. There's set(s) of pubs in the plane, and U guys just have to update the ones on the plane you're flying when necessary.

Yeah!! No more back pain due to carrying 3 full jepp binders and 2 company manuals!! After carrying that much crap, I'll gladly do the revisions for the plane.

Can't wait to start!

We carry wireless printers just for the EFBs. Sometimes you just can't beat having paper in front of you, especially when they're 8.5 x 11. Very handy for international ops.

electronic

The company is too cheap !! Our 680s have the capability to have the electronic jepp plate right on the MFD but dont cuz the company didnt buy the software.

We just signed for 50 Encore pluses and they will have that capability also. (collins 21 line) but will the company buy the option ?? Havent found anyone yet to say yes....or no

encore pluses

Flight safety at ICT 3 weeks ago... They are gearing up for us right now. Also several other pilots confirmed the buy....... I havent heard anything offical from the company yet, but thats not unusual. I also havent tried to find out offically either......

Will be interesting to see how the company handles the fleet split or non-split.

EFB? how bout some TCAS?

Wonderful. I can't believe that NJA would even consider an EFB over TCAS in the Ultra. THAT'S RIGHT KIDS. NJA CITATION ULTRAS DO NOT HAVE TCAS.

You don't need TCAS in the Ultra with those huge windows. Plus, it costs too much, remember?

New at Netjets and already complaining about something?

Add him to the MEC!!!

No kidding huh? Those windows are like a greenhouse.

50 Encore +'s? Are they replacing a fleet? Are they still disapointed with the BE40s?
