Abstract: An aircraft interface device is configured to communicate with an aircraft avionics system that includes a plurality of sensors for an aircraft includes a tablet interface module configured to communicate with the aircraft interface device and with one or more tablets. The tablet interface module includes a user interface that is configured to establish, via a wireless transceiver, a communications channel between the tablet interface module and the one or more tablets and an indicator configured to indicate if the tablet interface module is connected to the one or more tablets. The tablet interface module provides the one or more tablets with information received from the aircraft interface device and wherein the tablet interface module comprises a power supply configured to connect to a power system of the aircraft and to provide power to the one or more tablet devices.

Abstract: A computer apparatus and method to determine aircraft fuel mileage performance. The computer apparatus including a memory and a processor disposed in communication with the memory and configured to issue a plurality of instructions stored in the memory. The instructions issue signals to receive real-time aircraft data during aircraft flight and process the real-time data to determine real-time aircraft mass data. A calculation is performed to determine the real-time fuel mileage performance for the aircraft based upon determined real-time aircraft mass data.

Abstract: A control system for providing electrical power to an electronic flight bag device on an aircraft. The control system including a power switching component coupled to a plurality of power sources and at least one electronic flight bag device. The power switching component is operative and configured to selectively apply electrical power from at least one of the plurality of power sources to the at least one electronic flight bag device based upon a condition of the aircraft.
