Abstract
An onboard system establishes a first-EFB connection between a first electronic flight bag (EFB) and an aircraft interface device (AID), and establishes a first-EFB session between the first EFB and a flight management computer (FMC) based on a session identifier for the first EFB. The first-EFB connection is associated with a first-EFB connection identifier for the first EFB, and the first-EFB session is established over the first-EFB connection in accordance with the first-EFB connection identifier. The onboard system establishes a second-EFB connection between a second EFB and the AID, and establishes a second-EFB session between the second EFB and the FMC based on a session identifier for the second EFB. The second-EFB connection is associated with a second-EFB connection identifier for the second EFB, and the second-EFB session is established over the second-EFB connection in accordance with the second-EFB connection identifier.
