# Electronic Flight Bag

{% hint style="warning" %}
EFB Must be operated with a mouse. This tablet is currently incompatible with GamePads. 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Selecting a predefined cargo load through the PAYLOAD menu automatically assigns the corresponding weights to all six cargo stations and updates the aircraft’s center of gravity. No further input is required.

Manually changing these values or entering a different load weight may conflict with the tablet selection. There is no tool available to calculate CG outside the options provided on the EFB.
{% endhint %}

The Electronic Flight Bag provides an easy-to-use interface to interact with the aircraft attachments, doors and payloads. The EFB is located in the left side wall of the pilot seat, near the window. The EFB can also be accessed from the Loadmaster Station, though displayed as a laptop instead of a tablet.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.miltechsimulations.com/miltech-simulations-microsoft-c-17-globemaster-iii/the-aircraft/electronic-flight-bag.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
