Travis, Many thanks for your answer. EFB certainly does a good job of interpreting the data and drawing the charts. I have noticed on a few arrival procedures in the UK, Altitude restrictions on the EFB chart but not in the official NATS chart. So I assume this would be contained within the Navigraph Airac and EFB just produces these altitude restrictions from there. Again in the UK charts, the Arrival Procedure turns appear to only show those for the larger Cat C and D aircraft, at the moment I'm flying the RealAir Duke Turbine version and need to use the 'tighter' Cat A, B procedure turns - is this possible with EFB.

As a new user of EFB I am just curious to know how the charts are produced. I assume its information from Navigraph, what sort of information does EFB extract from the Airac to draw the chart ? Glen

Interesting, many thanks Glen

Hi, Firstly can I say what a fantastic program this is. I only really looked at EFB after reading the recent article in Avsim and the chance to try it for 30 days. As in a post a bit further down I didn't need 30 days to realise this is a must have utility. Anyway to my question - I normally use FSBuild to create my flight plans and save them in both FSX and PMDG format, so I am able to load the plans into my PMDG JS41 FMC and EFB. Now when an aircraft uses the FSX GPS and I press 'Activate' within EFB this is loaded into the aircrafts GPS and I can update the GPS using EFB i.e. Direct To etc. I assume as the PMDG JS41 doesn't use a GPS this is not possible to control the flight within EFB, and I must use the JS41 FMC - is this correct.
