The Aircraft Status window is the only screen in the EFB that is not specifically made for handheld devices. This screen is inherited from the TELS main system but due to wishes from users it is also made available as a part of the EFB. The size of the screen makes this best viewed on a PC or tablet.
Tip: If you see this info on a touchscreen (iPad / iPhone etc) and want to zoom by tapping, then click on the symbol JOOMLA zoom icon located top right in this window.

This window shows the status of all aircrafts in the fleet belonging to the TELS licenseholder owning the user license for TELS.
