| Has loss of data and corrupt/erroneous outputs been considered? |
|||
| Has the impact of the EFB on the MEL been assessed? |

| Have adequate resources (time/personnel/facilities) been assigned for training? | |||
| Is there access to actual or simulated EFB equipment for interactive training? | |||
| Does the training material match the EFB equipment status and published procedures? | |||
| Does the training program include human factors/Crew Resource Management in relation to EFB use? | |||
| Does the training program incorporate training for system changes and upgrades? | |||
| In cases where multiple variants of the same aircraft are being operated, has the impact on training/checking and currency been assessed? | |||
| Is there a published recurrent training, checking and currency program? | |||
| If applicable, does the training program maintain crew proficiency in non-EFB procedures (e.g., paper charts) | |||

| 7. | Data Management Procedures |
Are there documented procedures for the control and management of data? | |
| How do the procedures interface with procedures used by external data providers? | |||
| Are the access rights for users and administrators to manage data clearly defined? | |||
| Are there adequate controls to prevent user corruption of data? | |||
| 8. | Security Procedures | Is there an acceptable plan to prevent unauthorized modifications to EFB system and is there a mechanism to identify, assess and protect against security threats? | |
| Are there acceptable configuration control mechanisms in place? | |||
| Has it been verified that EFB does not accept a data load that contains corrupted contents? | |||
| Are there adequate procedural security measures implemented where technical measures are not appropriate or suitable? | |||
| 9. | Use of Own-Ship Position |
Does implementation minimize the possibility of displaying misleading own-ship position to flight crews? | |
| Does own-ship symbol change to a non-directional depiction when heading or track not available? | |||
