Annex I: Aircraft Operational Evaluation Checklist
| No. | OEC – Aircraft | Check Item | Acceptable Yes / No / N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | General | Can flights be conducted as safely with an EFB as with the methods/products it is intended to replace? | |
| Has it been determined that there are no noticeable conflicts between EFB and flight system interfaces, or between multiple EFBs? | |||
| Has it been determined that, in the event of an output discrepancy, there is a means for the crew to know which output is primary? | |||
| Has it been determined that the EFB does not add an unacceptable level of complexity for any critical activity or phase of flight? | |||
| 2. | Workload | Is the workload with an EFB less than, or equal to, the workload for equivalent tasks without an EFB? | |
| Has it been determined that the EFB does not distract pilots during critical phases of flight? | |||
| Are there policies/procedures in place to mitigate workload/distraction problems? | |||
| 3. | Aircraft Performance Calculations |
Can the Fleet and/or Fleet WSM verify that aircraft performance data outputs match AFM performance data? How? | |
| Is the entry and manipulation of data easy and unambiguous? | |||
| Does the system provide suitable error messages for inappropriate input/output? | |||
| Does the system allow adequate cross-checks between crew members in practice? | |||
| 4. | Electronic Navigation Charts |
Can crews use electronic charts as well as they use paper charts? | |
| Can the system easily accommodate short notice changes (e.g., re-clearance, change of runway)? | |||
| Do zoom and pan features ensure that critical items are not lost from view? Do scale and orientation indications remain visible? Does the scale indication remain accurate? | |||
| Do display or orientation options ensure that crews do not become confused about display orientation? | |||
| Can the selection be manually overridden? | |||
| Is displayed position accurate within the displayed scale? | |||
| Externally-sensed inputs (e.g., overlay of current aircraft position): Does the system automatically select relevant charts? | |||
| Does the system ensure that:
|
|||
| 5. | Electronic Checklists | Can crews use electronic checklists as well as they use paper checklists? How does crew coordination of checklist actions work in practice? | |
| Is progress through the checklist and the status of items (complete/deferred/open) clear to the crew? | |||
| Can the crew easily change the status of an action item? | |||
| Can the crew remove completed actions in order to restart the checklist from the beginning? | |||
| Is the potential to skip checklist items or assign incorrect actions minimized? | |||
| Can the crew easily navigate through the checklist? Are deferred actions appropriately displayed? | |||
| Is it clear when a checklist is incomplete? | |||
| Are decision branches clearly displayed? Can the selection of an incorrect branch be reversed? | |||
| Are reminders displayed for delayed actions (e.g., fuel dumping)? | |||

| Limitations or procedures required for operational use: | |||
