AOPA Announces Exit From Electronic Flight Bag Market

Frederick, Md. – Over the past several years, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) partnered with Seattle Avionics to create “FlyQ EFB,” an electronic flight bag (EFB) iPad application, and FlyQ Pocket, a smartphone application. Following a review of member benefits and products, AOPA has decided to exit the EFB market, and develop a distinct smartphone application focusing on content and functions driven by member needs. The new smartphone application will remain a free member benefit. AOPA’s replacement smartphone application will be available for members in 2015.
