Abstract

The invention discloses a method for transmitting release data between terminals of an EFB system based on an airdrop function, which mainly uses the airdrop function of an EFB terminal device such asan iPad to transmit the release data in an electronic flight bag (EFB) between pilots. This function is mainly applied to the electronic flight package software EFB system in civil aviation flight. The release data may be shared with other pilots of the same unit after being downloaded by a person in a unit, thereby achieving the purpose of quick data synchronization and traffic saving, avoidingall crew members from downloading data from the server, saving traffic, and reducing the server pressure. The release data between crew members may be synchronized without relying on the network, which saves download traffic and reduces flight preparation time for international flights. The invention is fast in transmission speed, stable, and small in interference, and the release data may be gotthrough this method for the situation that the release data cannot be opened or downloaded for some reasons, thereby reducing the risk of flight.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aviation flight, in particular to a method for transmitting release data between EFB system terminals based on an airdrop function. Background technique

[0002] With the development of the aviation industry, the size of the flight fleet is getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) system is becoming more and more urgent. What a pilot needs for each flight is a flight bag (including about 18kg of paper documents for flight plans such as aircraft operation manuals, crew operation manuals, navigation charts, etc.), and EFB is a flight bag used to replace common paper documents used by pilots. The universal electronic computing platform is an electronic information system for the flight crew to perform flight management tasks more easily and effectively.

[0003] The pilot uses the electronic flight bag (EFB) to download the flight release data through Wi-Fi or 4G connection to ...

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0018] Such as figure 1 As shown, the release data involved in this embodiment includes flight plan data, PIB data, and weather map data. The release data is transmitted between the EFB software of two EFB system terminal devices (iPad). EFB has a release data query module and a release data transmission function module. The two EFB system terminal devices (iPad) are the sender pilot’s EFB system terminal device and the recipient pilot’s EFB system terminal device. User A is the sender pilot and user B is the recipient pilot. This embodiment discloses A method of transmitting release data between EFB system terminals based on the airdrop function is as follows: User A and User B confirm that the AirDrop function of the device has been turned on, and the distance between them is no more than 9 meters (30 feet); User A uses the EFB system terminal The device downloads flight release data from the EFB network server; user A turns on the EFB release data transmission function, and...
