Main Page EFB-Quote is a Palm Pilot application that allows the user to perform per hour or per mile quotes on as many as 200 different types of aircraft.

Each airport has arrival and departure delay times built into the database, as well as, default winds and landing fees. Quotes by the hour to or from that airport would automatically include the appropriate delays. All quotes would include landing fees, RONs and catering.

One-way, two-way and multiple leg trips can be quoted and saved.

An optional AC-U-Kwik database can be installed on one handheld.

Quoting The aircraft is selected from a pull-down list. Once a quote is created, the aircraft can be changed to view the same trip in a different aircraft.

Airports are entered using 3-4 letter identifiers.

A "per mile" or "per hour" quote can be generated on any aircraft. Airport delays and winds are ignored for "per mile" quotes. Additional fees such as catering and standby hours can be added to each leg.

Each aircraft has a unique minimum LEG flight time (or $ amount) and a minimum TRIP dollar amount.

Additionally, each aircraft has a 1st and 2nd hour cruise speeds.

Landing fees can be set for each airport (globally if desired).

 
Saving Trips The quoted trips can be saved, viewed and modified.
Aircraft Up to 200 aircraft types can be entered. Each aircraft maintains its own rates for per mile and per hour quoting.

Each aircraft has a unique minimum LEG flight time (or $ amount) and a minimum TRIP dollar amount.

Additionally, each aircraft has a 1st and 2nd hour cruise speeds.

Standby/hour and FET tax rate are attached to each aircraft.

Minimums

Two quote minimums are optionally set by the user for each aircraft. Leg Minimum and Trip Minimum.

The Leg Minimum for an aircraft adjusts the minimum flight hours for the leg. This minimum can also be set as a minimum leg amount ($).  

For example:   If a UCA-SYR trip is entered with an unadjusted flight time of 0.1 hrs (which includes wind and flight delay affects) , the flight time will be reported  as 0.5 hrs for 1-way flight (or 1.0 hrs for 2-way).

 If the Leg Minimum for this specific aircraft is set to a number greater than ten, (500 for example), then regardless of the actual flight time, the leg dollar amount will be the greater of $500 (1-way, $1000 for 2-way) or the rate/hr X flight time ( optionally rate/mile X distance), which ever is greater.   

Additional fees are added on top of this adjustment.

The Trip Minimum is the minimum dollar amount for the entire trip.   If the total dollar amount, excluding FET, is below this amount, the total trip amount will display as this value plus FET.  The individual legs will appear as calculated from the leg entry screen. 

Landing Fees The landing fee is set to a multiplier of the weight of the aircraft. This setting can be set globally (all airports) or individually for any airport. This allows aircraft of different "weights" to be assessed different landing fees. The value can also be set to a specific amount versus a formula.

Other fees can be added as shown.

Airport & Winds Database Contains most airports over 3000 feet found worldwide. Other airports and their coordinates can be added.

Each airport has an assigned wind direction and speed. These values are used in determining the enroute time between airport pairs when quoting "by the hour". The winds are set from the factory but can be changed individually or globally (all airports) at any time. This might be used during winter when winds are stronger and more out of the north. During a quote the leg is broken into three equal parts. The winds for the beginning and ending part come from the airport of departure and arrival respectively. The average of the two winds is used for the middle section. This provides a better estimate of the actual winds than averaging the two winds and applying it to the entire leg.

Airport Data Optionally, two databases can be purchased; one for US and Canada and one for all airports (World). The databases include a searchable (by city name or 3-4 letter identifier) airport and VOR databases of general information, frequencies, approaches, runway lengths, phone numbers and addresses for airports, FBOs, hotels, caterers, handlers, protective services, weather services, custom restrictions, charter companies and more. The North American databases are updated four times a year.  User notes can be affixed to each airport.
System Requirements Palm OS version 3.0 and above.  PocketPC

Palm Pilot or PocketPC device or compatible such as Handspring Visor, Ipaq or Sony

Installation on Tungsten T5 and Treo 650 has been confirmed by customers.  The installation must be to the core memory and not to an expansion card.  

Without the airport database, any PDA with a 2MB capacity can be used.

Multiple aircraft can be installed on a 2MB device depending upon available space and the type of aircraft installed. Contact CAVU for further details.

PC or MAC computer running Palm Desktop software (comes with PDA). Installation on MAC requires Windows emulator.

Palm Pilot  are available through CAVU at preferred pricing.
