Only LRU operating system changes require regulatory approval
- Eliminates the regulatory approval requirements for non-part 25 software application services and configuration changes
- Add new inflight services without re-certifying the entire IT stack
- Reduced software certification documentation burden
- No logbook sign-offs
- Any laptop with an ethernet connection and web browser can access, display and manage the onboard maintenance app which resides on ACPU-2
