“The recently launched Surface 2, which runs the Windows RT 8.1 platform, will provide crews with key charts and navigation tools via a customised app.The tablets will replace the 17kg (2st 10lb) flight bags currently carried by pilots, reducing fuel consumption. The company expects all its cockpits (11,000 pilots) to be paperless by the end of 2014.”
“The tablets will feature a custom-built app called FliteDeck Pro, developed by aerospace technology company Jeppesen, a subsidiary of Boeing. They will contain thousands of electronic documents, charts, navigational aids, checklists and other key reference materials.”
