What is the meaning of EFB?

• A. Electronic Flight Bag
• B. Emergency Fuel Bailout
• C. External Flight Beacon
• D. Electronic Flight Board

Answer: (A)

Electronic Flight Bag is the standard term for a portable electronic system that carries the information traditionally found in a pilot’s paper flight bag—digital aeronautical charts, manuals, weather data, and planning tools. It lets you access up-to-date charts, performance calculations, NOTAMs, and other flight planning information quickly, often with apps that streamline updates and reduce paperwork. The other options describe concepts that aren’t used to name this widely adopted aviation term, so they don’t fit as the meaning of EFB. In practice, an EFB might be a tablet or laptop running specialized software to replace or augment paper documents.
