Nowadays, aviation pilots often use tablets or mobile devices to perform and help navigation flights. This becomes an issue when ab-initio pilots start to use Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) without any proper training during flight school. Some EFB are available to pilots on digital stores who can buy and install this software. Some available products are Foreflight, Garmin Pilot, and Skydemon, among others, often used for visual or instrument navigations. Using these devices in aircrafts with analog instruments can divert the pilot’s attention from flying the aircraft to being focused on changing settings with a head-down attitude and losing situational awareness from the remaining flight instruments. This article reviews the current body of literature in this area and analyses the accident data of one of the most important databases in accident investigation in aviation. Some findings point to the key insights affecting Situational Awareness and human-machine interaction on pilots using EFB.
