    Connected FMS
    Airline and Military Operators have deployed Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) into cockpits to reduce pilot workload. Now, with GE Aerospace’s Connected FMS (CFMS), these assets can exchange data with the aircraft avionics on civil and military platforms both old and new.

    CFMS provides an interface to GE Aerospace’s FMS that can be utilized by 3rd party applications either embedded or via an Aircraft Interface Device (AID). iOS and Windows OS are supported.
