Flying
United pilots aim to deliver best-in-class customer experiences. With iPad, they have instant access to their Electronic Flight Bag, a collection of apps for retrieving accurate, up-to-date information in the cockpit. With current data available at a touch, pilots don’t have to rely on paper manuals. Reducing this weight saves United 326,000 gallons of fuel and 21,000 trees’ worth of paper each year. And the SkyPath app utilizes the accelerometer built into iPad to sense and map turbulence conditions in real time, allowing pilots to plan safer, more fuel-efficient flight routes.
