What should the PF do if the EFB securing device breaks?

If the electronic flight bag (EFB) securing device breaks, the pilot flying (PF) should utilize the remaining securing device available. This choice allows for continued operational safety by securing the EFB in place to prevent it from becoming a distraction or a potential hazard while flying. The EFB is a critical tool for access to charts, operational data, and other flight-related information. By using the remaining device, the pilot can ensure that the EFB remains stable and accessible during the flight.

Other options may not prioritize immediate safety and operational integrity as effectively. Returning to base or stopping the flight could be unnecessarily disruptive if a method to secure the EFB is still at hand. Continuing the flight without any securing device poses risks, as it can lead to the EFB moving around in the cockpit, potentially distracting the crew or blocking critical instruments. Informing maintenance staff is also important but is more of a secondary consideration once the immediate need for securing the EFB is addressed. Thus, using the remaining securing device is the most logical and safety-conscious response.
