Abstract
An electronic flight bag for an aircraft includes a display device and a processing system. The display device is operable to render various images. The processing system is in operable communication with the display. The processing system is configured to receive various types of data from various aircraft systems and is operable, upon receipt of the data, to supply display commands to the display device that cause the display device to automatically render various images. These images may include, among other things, flight manual pages, checklists, approach charts, maintenance data, and various navigation displays. The electronic flight bag may also implement the functions of various other aircraft systems and devices.
