EFS · Flight
The intelligent cockpit layer
Synthetic vision, moving map, traffic and airspace awareness, remote COM and transponder setting. A modern visual flight interface working alongside proven flight references.
Exentra Flight Systems
The Connected Flight Intelligence Platform
From avionics to aircraft understanding. EFS connects cockpit, aircraft, atmosphere, pilot and cloud into one intelligent flight ecosystem.

The problem
Aviation has more data than ever. Pilots still need understanding.
Modern avionics are excellent at displaying information. But in critical moments, pilots do not need more disconnected data points. They need context, prioritisation, guidance and a safe plan.
Traditional avionics answer
- Where am I?
- How fast am I?
- What is my altitude?
EFS flight intelligence answers
- What is happening to the aircraft?
- What is happening in the air around me?
- What will happen next?
- What is the safest and most efficient path?
The next step is not another display. The next step is flight intelligence.

The intelligent cockpit
Intelligence, layered on trusted instruments.
EFS Flight is the in-cockpit application for iPad, Android and embedded systems: an intelligent augmentation layer around a trusted redundant primary flight reference, not a replacement for certified primary instrumentation.
EFS · Dynamic HITS
Fly the safest, most efficient path
Traditional Highway in the Sky shows where to fly. EFS turns it into a dynamic corridor that is energy-aware, weather-aware and safety-aware, riding tailwinds and lift while protecting reserve.
EFS · Autopilot
Guidance, protection and assisted recovery
The full scope of a modern autopilot, with 11 core modes from wing leveller to approach guidance, extended with 9 protection modes including envelope, stall-margin and overspeed protection.
EFS · Guardian
One touch. One plan. One safe path home.
In an emergency, pilots do not need more data. They need a plan. The pilot presses the red button and EFS immediately evaluates reachable options against terrain, wind and energy, then guides the aircraft home with optional autopilot coupling.
- Press
The pilot presses the red button.
- Evaluate
EFS evaluates reachable options against terrain, wind and energy.
- Rank
Landing sites are ranked by safety and reachability.
- Configure
COM and transponder are set; an emergency message is prepared.
- Guide
Emergency HITS and optional autopilot coupling fly the path.
AirSense · Atmosphere · Flow
EFS understands the air around the aircraft.
EFS does not only receive weather. It measures, learns and visualises the local atmosphere, turning invisible air into visible flight intelligence rendered inside synthetic vision and Dynamic HITS.

Live surface weather at Wittman Regional (Oshkosh), home of AirVenture.
Wind streams
Steady airflow mapped so routing can ride tailwinds and avoid headwinds.
Thermals
Rising warm air used to gain altitude and extend range without burning energy.
Ridge lift
Wind deflected upward along the windward side of a slope.
Sink zones
Descending air, routed around to protect altitude and reserve.
Mountain waves
Standing lee waves with smooth lift and sink in alternating bands.
Turbulence zones
Chaotic air flagged early, so the pilot can slow down or divert.
Rotor zones
Overturning circulation beneath mountain waves, close to terrain.
Wind shear
Sharp wind changes across a boundary, most critical near take-off and landing.
Gust fronts
The advancing outflow boundary ahead of a storm.
Aircraft intelligence
The aircraft, monitored and understood.
EFS · Perception
Perception for the next generation
Stereo cameras, forward-looking LiDAR and onboard AI compute support obstacle awareness, landing-zone assessment and future autonomy.
EFS · Monitor
Every system, supervised
Engine, battery, electrical systems, fuel and energy state, diagnostics, maintenance status and service intervals in one picture.
EFS · SafeWeight
Weight and balance, automated
Automatic weight measurement, centre-of-gravity calculation and take-off legality checks produce a clear ready-for-flight status.
- Weight & balance within approved envelope
- Aircraft overweight by 18 kg
- CG outside aft limit, take-off not recommended
EFS · Link™
From radio communication to communication intelligence.
For a century, aviation communication has been a transient voice stream: heard once, then gone. EFS transforms it into structured, searchable and actionable information. It does not replace the pilot's communication or ATC; it reduces workload and improves awareness, keeping the pilot fully in command.
- 01
Voice
A VHF transmission, heard once, then gone in an instant.
- 02
Transcript
Transcribed, timestamped and synchronised to the flight. (Roadmap: feasibility study)

Understanding
EFS extracts the meaning behind the words: runway, instruction, status.
Traditional radios transmit voices. EFS understands intent.
Connect · Cloud · Mobile
Always connected. Even in flight.
EFS ConnectBox links the aircraft to EFS Cloud over LTE/5G, satellite and WiFi with least-cost routing: synchronisation, remote diagnostics and over-the-air updates, with data buffered when offline.
EFS · Mobile
Your flying life, connected
Pilot and aircraft logbooks, live flight log, recording and community.
EFS · PilotCare
Stay current. Stay legal.
Medical validity, licence currency, renewal deadlines and training reminders.
EFS · AircraftLog
Every hour, every part, tracked
Service intervals, inspection reminders, parts history and documentation.
EFS · Fleet
