The final smart cards solution of flight deck tablet computers, called the SAAB Flight Bags (SFB) was a portable tablet PC with wireless connectivity and Zebra Road Warrior RW420 portable thermal printer for each aircraft. The SFB enables pilots to complete the aircraft weight and balance, flight planning as well as download and print pre-flight briefings via a wireless connection between the tablet PC to the computer program within the terminal. Peacock Bros. initially provided evaluation units for testing back in 2007 and now there are approximately 40 SAAB aircraft using the solution.
This system has increased efficiency between flights, and provided a portable solution that complies with all aviation rules and regulations. The need for the First Officer to travel to the terminal is completely eliminated, thereby allowing all crew to remain together at the aircraft to prepare for an efficient turnaround. This mobile computing and printing solution can be applied within any aircraft instantly reducing operational costs and capital expenditure while still complying with all aviation regulations.contactless cards
