Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) Advisory Circular 120-76; Public 
Meeting

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

SUMMARY: On July 9, 2002, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
issued FAA Advisory Circular 120-76, ``Guidelines for the 
Certification, Airworthiness, and Operational Approval of Electronic 
Flight Bag Computing Devices.'' In writing the original version of this 
AC, the Agency recognized an urgent need to provide the aviation 
community with timely EFB guidance, but also recognized that future 
revisions of this AC might be needed. To facilitate this, the FAA is 
planning to hold a meeting to identify issues with the AC and to 
establish and identify priorities and processes to achieve early 
operational use of additional EFB applications and/or design features. 
The purpose of this Public Meeting is to solicit input from the user-
community and to achieve a better understanding, cooperation, and 
consensus on EFB concepts, to identify proper forums for technical 
standards guidance development, and to propose specific implementation 
approaches and schedules to resolve outstanding technical issues.

DATES: The meeting will be held Thursday, October 10, 2002. The meeting 
will convene at 9 a.m. and will conclude at 5 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the offices of Advanced 
Management Technology, Incorporated (AMTI), 1515 Wilson Blvd., Suite 
1100, Arlington, VA, 22209.

hereby given of a meeting to identify EFB issues that would help in 
future development of EFB guidance. The scope of this meeting is to

features. Attendance is open to the interested public, but may be
