Abstract This report documents the human factors activities conducted as part of the Capstone 3 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) – Airport Moving Map operational evaluation. The purpose of that operational evaluation was to understand the safety implications of an airport moving map on a Class 2 or Class 3 EFB and/or an approved aural runway safety alerting system. Three airlines (Atlas Air, Shuttle America, and US Airways) established an EFB program for the Capstone 3 operational evaluation. This report describes (1) the status of the EFB programs at these three airlines in September 2012 when the program ended, (2) the considerations in the development of the surveys designed to gather human factors information from this operational evaluation, and (3) the human factors findings on the usability of the EFB and airport moving map. The information in this report is intended to be of use to the Federal Aviation Administration in developing guidance material for EFBs and airport moving maps.
