Montreal, Canada – August 4, 2011. Boeing (Renton WA.) will install Esterline CMC Electronics’ 10.4 inch Class 2 PilotView® Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) on the Next-Generation B-737 production aircraft ordered by Ethiopian Airways. Boeing has received its first purchase order from the airline for a quantity of ten B737NG production aircraft. CMC’s Class 2 EFB system is now available on production aircraft and for retrofit on B737NG and BBJ aircraft.
Boeing has developed a common application suite and ground infrastructure for use across Class 1, 2 and 3 EFBs, a move designed to maximize the value of the EFB by including Boeing and Jeppesen applications and data.
Greg Yeldon, Esterline CMC Electronics president, said: “Boeing’s selection of the latest addition to our EFB product portfolio, and the first purchase order for the B737NG production aircraft by Ethiopian Airways is excellent news. This certainly strengthens our growing OEM supplier position in the commercial air transport market.”

It features a large LED-backlit display delivering enhanced readability in all ambient lighting conditions.
