If the EFB is broken, what can be used to obtain Jeppesen charts for the flight?

• A. Jeppesen Flight Bag to print Jepps
• B. Print from memory
• C. Email request for Jepps
• D. No charts needed

Answer: (C)

When the EFB is unavailable, you still need official, current Jeppesen charts for the flight. The best way to obtain them is to email a request for Jepps. This route provides the official charts in the proper format (PDF or printed copies) and ensures you get the latest revisions and any relevant updates for your route. It’s a reliable, traceable method that doesn’t rely on the malfunctioning device and can be supported by operations or Jeppesen staff quickly.

Printing from memory isn’t feasible because Jeppesen charts contain precise, detailed procedures and data that must match current publications, not something you can recreate accurately. Relying on no charts at all is unsafe, since pilots need the official navigation and approach information. Using the Jeppesen Flight Bag to print Jepps isn’t possible when the EFB is broken, as that tool lives on the EFB itself.
