Description

Description: The vast majority of the KC-46 fleet at Travis AFB lacks semi-permanent Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) mounting solutions. These mounts allow the secure placement and ready reference of EFBs during flight, enhancing aircrew awareness and responsiveness. Additionally, semi-permanent mounts allow the aircraft to be outfitted rather than each individual crewmember, saving four KC-46 squadrons approximately $148K in costs to issue individual solutions over the next 5 years. AMC/AFRC EFB case purchases use the PIVOT system of mounting for ease/stability. The mounting system must be fully compatible with the PIVOT “Click!” connection system. It must also allow secure, tool-less crew installation to the right and left lower window frames of the KC-46 aircraft and like crew removal without damage to the window or frame. When installed the bracket must fit contoured to the window frame and not allow a raised or sharp surface that could injure a crewmember. The solution must comply with FAA 14 CFR Part 23.853 flammability requirements and support EFB hardware at the minimum weight/size of an iPad Pro 11-inch.
