    EASA has evaluated Boeing's OPT software application version 4.3 for use on iPads. The evaluation found that OPT 4.3 satisfies EASA's guidelines for electronic flight bag applications. EASA recommends that operators receive training on properly configuring and using OPT in accordance with their standard operating procedures. EASA also provided recommendations to Boeing on future versions of OPT and will publish a report with additional guidance for operators and authorities. Pending the report's publication, EASA has no technical objections to authorities approving OPT 4.3 provided operators follow EASA's recommendations.

    For EASA 2018(D) 51281


    CIO/aco/CT.1.4
    Cologne20 March.2018

    Subject: ANNEX_Boeing – OPT version 4.3


    Reference: EASA 2018(D) 51281 dated 20.03.18
    Date: 20 March 2018

    To whomever it may concern,

    Boeing has applied to EASA for an operational evaluation of the OPT software application for iOS
    (iPad). OPT is a single application for the iPad, allowing the computation of takeoff and landing
    performance.

    EASA evaluation was based on compliance data provided by Boeing and on limited functional tests
    on a sample EFB. The requirements contained in Commission Regulation (EU) N° 965/2012 of 5
    October 2012 (Air Operations Rules) have been considered together with AMC 20-25 (Airworthiness
    and Operational considerations for Electronic Flight Bags).

    The main objective of the evaluation was to assess the compliance of the application against the
    applicable guidance, evaluate the associated compliance dossier proposed by Boeing and provide
    recommendations to the operators in terms of EFB training, procedures, and administration.

    Recommendations were made by EASA and should be taken into account by Boeing in future
    versions.

    EASA will publish a report detailing the work done, as well as including recommendations to
    operators and National Authorities for the use of the application. The report will provide areas of
    compliance to the AMC 20-25.

    Pending availability of this report and based on elements provided by Boeing, EASA recognizes that
    OPT 4.3 satisfies the applicable guidelines of AMC 20-25 and has no technical objection to the grant
    by the National Authorities of an operational approval for the use of the application provided that
    the recommendations proposed this letter are taken into account, as well as those in the report once
    available.

    This letter replaces and supersedes EASA letter on OPT version 4.27 (dated 3 July 2017). It does not
    constitute an Operational Approval, operators remain responsible for demonstrating compliance
    with the EFB requirements and guidance of their National Aviation Authority. EASA recommends to
    discontinue the use of version 4.27 and earlier.

    Provisional Recommendations
    Pending the publication of a report dedicated to OPT, including recommendations specific to the
    application, it is recommended that the operator bases its evaluations and in particular its EFB risk
    assessment (as required by AMC 20-25 chapter 7.2) on the considerations contained in the Boeing
    Risk Assessment for mobile applications (Ref. D6-84081-4701, dated March 21, 2018) written by
    Boeing in accordance with the AMC 20-25 guidance.

    In addition to those recommendations, and to the guidance and requirements of AMC 20-25, it is
    recommended that the EFB flight crew and administration training covers the following areas of
    emphasis:

    - Proper configuration of the application by the administrator and proper crew procedures to take
    into account operator’s specificities. The configuration of the performance and loadsheet related
    parameters should be verified by the administrator for compliance with the applicable operational
    rules. The administrator should assure that the application customization does not jeopardize the
    results validity.

    - The training should emphasize the importance for the crew to execute all calculations in accordance
    with the SOPs, to assure fully independent calculations and to perform the necessary cross- and
    gross-error checks.

    - The training should stress that care should be taken while performing calculations, and that upon
    distraction or interruption during the input sequence it should be considered to start from the
    beginning again.

    - Use of MEL/CDL items: the training should emphasize the proper use and verification of MEL and
    CDL items selection. The use of such items in the performance application does not relieve the crew
    to check the associated procedures in the DDG. It is the crew responsibility to ensure that all items
    selected are compatible with each other.

    - The crew should understand how the OPT is managing performance assumptions such as credit for
    thrust reversers.

    - The OPT does not have a feature to automatically delete outdated input fields as required per AMC
    20-25 D.3.2. This deviation is deemed acceptable provided that the operator’s SOPs ensure that the
    crew will select an airport before each calculation and ensure that no outdated inputs or outputs
    remain.

    Sincerely,

    Carla Iorio,
