EASA Issues Final Electronic Flight Bag Rule Proposal
Rules introduce operational approvals for Type B EFB applications for all operators, and integrate ICAO standards and recommended practices.

EASA has released details of its proposed rule changes for electronic flight bags (EFBs), including new provisions for non-commercial operators and codifying ICAO's standards for the equipment in the agency’s regulations. Existing EASA rules address EFB usage for commercial air transport (CAT) operators, but the new rules would introduce requirements for other operator categories, including non-commercial operators (NCOs), those with complex-motor-powered aircraft (NCCs) and specialized operations (SPOs).
