The application, accessed via Apple’s wearable technology, presents pertinent flight data directly to the user’s wrist. This functionality allows pilots to quickly view essential information such as airspeed, altitude, and heading without requiring constant interaction with a primary electronic flight bag (EFB) device like an iPad. For example, an incoming call alert that overlays critical flight data on the pilot’s watch face, enabling them to make immediate and informed decisions based on the data displayed.
Its importance stems from enhancing situational awareness and reducing cockpit workload. The capability facilitates faster access to crucial data, particularly during critical phases of flight such as takeoff and landing. Initially, the technology provided simple data mirroring, but it has evolved to offer sophisticated features, including customizable data displays and direct interaction with certain flight parameters.
