navAero Achieves STC for tBag(TM)C22 as Class II EFB

(Chicago, IL USA, December 9, 2005) -— navAero Inc. has received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) for its t•BagTMC22 electronic flight bag system installed as a Class II EFB on a Boeing B737-800 aircraft for Miami Air International.
This STC of navAero’s t•BagTMC22 computer and display system along with the Jeppesen Class I/II EFB software is the first-ever deployment of an integrated Class II EFB system that will allow a commercial operator to achieve a totally electronic “paperless solution” for charting.

navAero received the STC (Number ST03165AT) for B737NG installation on December 9, 2005 and plans a fleet-wide deployment on Miami Air’s Boeing B737-800 aircrafts. As a Class II device, the navAero t•BagTMC22 system is suitable for use during all phases of flight.
Ken Crowhurst, navAero Executive Vice President and Managing Director, stated “The navAero t•Bag TMC22 Class II EFB computer and display technology gives aircraft operators a high quality, robust and cost effective Class II hardware solution for charting applications as well as a platform to host a variety of other aviation software designed to help them improve their operational performance. We are delighted to have collaborated with Jeppesen on this initiative to provide a complete solution for an industry leader like Miami Air as the launch customer for the B737-800.”

“Miami Air weighed the benefits of EFB technology for several years. navAero’s t•BagTMC22 was the first hardware solution that made economic sense for our business model,” stated Kurt Kamrad, Vice President Flight Ops for Miami Air.

“This new hardware capability will be used to run the Jeppesen EFB software with its terminal chart viewer which frees flight crews from the constraints of paper, while maintaining the familiar look of Jeppesen’s industry-standard charts. Miami Air will also utilize the tBagTMC22 EFB system for running a performance calculations application which will significantly enhance our operations, as well as providing us with the platform to utilize the growing suite of EFB applications.”

The navAero t•Bag TMC22 hardware utilizes an Intel® Pentium M processor for fast, reliable operation. The system is capable of running a Windows or Linux operating system. Airline-specific applications such as electronic flight manuals and charting, takeoff performance, weight & balance calculations, and weather services can easily be integrated. It is designed to host functions such as video surveillance, automated security, a document library, and wide range of data communications applications.

Miami Air International is a licensed U.S. air carrier operating a fleet of Boeing 737-800 aircraft from its base at the Miami International Airport.
