1) No

2) Yes

3) No

4) from http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/articles/qtr_01_10/pdfs/AERO_Q1-10_article04.pdf

 

Since Boeing delivered the first Class 3 EFB certification and integration in 2003, approximately 75 percent of 777 airplanes are being equipped with EFB systems

5) Couldn't find any info, so probably not

1) Does All The BOEING 777 Flying Around The Globe Are Equiped With EFB?

 

No in fact I think the majority of them don't have it because its an expensive option, its much cheaper to provide your pilots with tablets that has the EFB software. 

 

 

2) Do BOEING 777 In Real Life Operate Flights Without EFB ?

 

Yep, see answer 1. I'm sure some airlines don't even use an EFB period. 

 

 

3) Is It Manditory To Use EFB In BOEING 777 ?

 

It may depend on airline rules although I'm sure the few pilots who prefer hard copy manuals can still use them over the EFB. 

 

 

4) What May Be The Percentage Of BOEING 777 Equiped With EFB And Without Them ?

 

Probably 80% of them do not have them.

 

 

5) Does AIR INDIA Use EFB On Their BOEING 777 ?

 

Don't know. 

 

For those who want more info on the portable EFB.
