Paperless Cockpit is the winner of the Plane and Pilot Magazine Readers' Choice Award for four consecutive years.

Paperless Cockpit, Inc. has been delivering Electronic Flight Bag solutions to General Aviation, Business Aviation, Commercial Aviation, and Defense Agencies since 1995.

While many EFBs are little more than off-the-shelf hand-held performance calculators or laptop computers used to display electronic charts and documents, Paperless Cockpit offers highly integrated, professional-grade EFB solutions designed form maximum reliability, performance and logevity.

Our award-winning EFB platforms have enabled thousands of operators throughout the world to achieve significant improvements in safety and operational efficency by improving situational awareness and reducing pilot workload.

By working closely with Operators, Installers and the FAA at all levels, Paperless Cockpit has streamlined EFB implementation and regulatory approval. Paperless Cockpit continues to deliver cost-effective, innovative EFB solutions that exceed Operator expectations and satisfy safety and regulatory requirements.

EFB Classes (per FAA AC 120-76A)
Class 1 EFB	Class 1 EFBs are Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) that are normally stowed during critical phases of flight. Typically Commercial Off-the Shelf Systems (COTS), Class 1 EFBs can connect to ship's power and read-only data sources. Other than power and data connectivity connectivity, Class 1 EFBs are not subject to airworthiness requirements such as DO-160E, and can run Type A and Type B software applications. > View Paperless Cockpit's Class 1 EFB Solutions
Class 2 EFB	Class 2 EFBs ave all of the capabilities of a Class 1 EFB, but are available for use during critical phase via an airwothy mounting device or kneeboard. These devices are typically COTS systems modified specifically for aircraft use (like the E-Board XP3i) or are custom designed for EFB applications (like the FliteServ C2 EFB). > View Paperless Cockpit's Class 2 EFB Solutions
Class 3 EFB	Class 3 EFBs are essentially a avionics systems subject to airworthiness requirements such as DO-160E hardware requirements and DO-178A software requirements. These range from panel mounted MFDs to custom integrated airwothy systems (such as those based on the FliteServ C3 platform). > View Paperless Cockpit's Class 3 and Custom EFB Platforms
