Ingenio Aerospace gains STCs for Bombardier types
TC certification will green-light the integration of the cockpit tablet EFB on Globals and Challenger 600s. It covers a charging capacity of up to 60W, a significant margin for future-proofing recharging requirements.

Ingenio Aerospace has earned Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) supplemental type certificates for the integration of its cockpit tablet electronic flight bag (EFB) on Bombardier Global series and Challenger 600 series aircraft. FAA and EASA certifications are also expected to be issued before the end of the calendar year.

The cockpit tablet EFB enhances operational safety by improving ergonomics that facilitate pilot access to electronic tablets (ex: Apple and Android devices) during all phases of flight, including take off and landing. Certification opens a significant market for Ingenio as there are approximately 1,150 Globals and 2,040 Challenger 600s in service worldwide today. It also applies to new aircraft built by Bombardier going forward.

Today, most tablets require 15W USB power delivery for fast charge. This certification covers a charging capacity up to 60W, a significant margin for growth designed to future-proof recharging requirements.

Offering USB type-C charging connectivity, the cockpit tablet EFB seamlessly merges sophisticated design, robust construction and user-focused functionality. Meticulously engineered from aviation-grade aluminium, it evokes strength, finesse and style.

It is an easy-to-install turnkey solution that includes EFB mounts, power delivery USB chargers, tablet holder (universal or type-C connector), complete electrical installation with optional USB 2.0 data passthrough and structural brackets for pilot and co-pilot configurations. No third-party engineering or parts are required.

“We are very pleased to announce interoperability with Bombardier aircraft,” says Ingenio president and CEO James Bell. “Access to Global and Challenger 600 series immediately opens a potential market of more than 3,000 aircraft worldwide, plus the new aircraft rolling off the assembly line every day. USB power delivery is a well-established industry standard and more recently the European Committee for Standardisation has mandated use of USB type-C connectors. Because these technical details are covered by our new STCs, and thanks to our ability to scale up to 60W of power delivery, we are confident that the cockpit tablet EFB will serve our clients exceptionally well for the foreseeable future.”
