Managed EFB Operations

EFB implementation and management — without internal overhead.

A fully managed EFB operation covering setup, regulatory approval, performance engineering, and continuous data management — delivered as a structured service, not a fragmented project.

EFB is not the challenge. Managing it is.

Most operators have the tools. The challenge is keeping everything current, compliant, and aligned — across hardware, software, data, documentation, and regulatory requirements — without a dedicated internal team.

Performance data requires specialist engineering knowledge to compile, validate, and maintain.

Regulatory requirements vary by authority and change regularly — staying compliant requires constant attention.

Multiple vendors mean fragmented responsibility — with no single point of accountability.

Internal resources are limited. EFB management competes with operational priorities.

A fully managed EFB operation

Simpfly takes on the full EFB lifecycle — from initial setup to continuous operations — so your team can focus on flying, not managing systems.

Implementation

EFB hardware selection, software configuration, airworthiness assessment, and initial regulatory approval. End-to-end programme setup from scratch.

Administration

Ongoing EFB programme management — software updates, configuration changes, user management, and regulatory revision cycles.

Performance & Engineering

AFM data compilation, OPT configuration, takeoff and landing analyses, and obstacle clearance data — validated and maintained across fleet changes.

Ops Documentation

Operations manual authoring, revision, and maintenance. AOC application support for startup operators, including from-scratch documentation.

Weight & Balance

W&B envelopes and loading documentation configured for your fleet — maintained and updated as aircraft or regulatory requirements evolve.

How it works

A structured process — from the initial scoping call to fully operational EFB management.

01

Onboarding

We review your operation, fleet, regulatory environment, and existing EFB status. Scope and deliverables are defined.

02

Implementation

Hardware, software, and data configuration. Initial performance data compilation and documentation authoring.

03

Approval

Regulatory submission, authority liaison, and airworthiness approval — supported throughout.

04

Continuous Operations

Ongoing data management, AIRAC updates, documentation revisions, and compliance maintenance without internal workload.

Designed for operators who fly lean.

Managed EFB Operations is built for carriers where specialist EFB expertise is not available in-house — and where maintaining a full EFB programme without dedicated resources is a real operational challenge.

  • Operators implementing a new EFB programme from the ground up
  • Carriers who need ongoing performance data management without internal engineering resources
  • Airlines preparing for regulatory audits or authority submissions
  • Startup operators requiring AOC documentation and EFB approval simultaneously

Engagement options

Full managed service

Complete EFB lifecycle management from setup to ongoing operations.

Data management only

Ongoing performance data, AIRAC updates, and documentation revision cycles.

Project support

Scoped engagement for specific deliverables — approval, audit prep, or new fleet integration.

How it compares

Building an EFB programme in-house or across multiple vendors requires significant coordination, expertise, and ongoing management.
