Rockwell Collins to provide eFlight solution for NetJets fleet
ORLANDO (November 08, 2005) - NetJets has signed a letter of intent to award Rockwell Collins a 10-year contract for implementing a fleet-wide eFlightTM information management solution. The final agreement is expected to be completed by year-end.
"The eFlight solution selected by NetJets will connect the aircraft and the ground in an efficient way replacing hundreds
of pounds of paper with simplified, electronic formats." said Mark Harris, vice president, eFlight for Rockwell Collins. "The
end result for NetJets will be greater operational efficiency, accurate and up to date information and reduced costs."
Rockwell Collins will supply dual Class 2 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) functionality for multiple aircraft in the NetJets fleet.
The EFB will be integrated with the Rockwell Collins eFlight ground and onboard software to provide seamless database distribution
and loading, and document management.
The eFlight solution will provide electronic database distribution and loading for the aircraft's Flight Management System
(FMS) and Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS); electronic document distribution and viewing of manuals and charts
integrated with the EFB. In addition, the eFlight solution will provide a comprehensive reporting feature that indicates the
status of all electronic documents and databases sent to the aircraft.
