GIV CREW HAS DIFFICULTY USING NEW ELECTRONIC FLIGHT BAG AND IS SLOW TO COMPLY WITH NEW CLEARANCE FROM ZMA.

Narrative

DURING CLBOUT TO FL410; WE MISSED THE TURN ONTO AR16 AT THE LENDS INTXN. THIS WAS OUR FIRST FLT WITH A NEW ELECTRONIC FLT BAG ON BOARD. AS WE APCHED THE LENDS INTXN; THE MIA DEP CTLR CLRED US DIRECT TO THE SNABS INTXN FROM OUR PRESENT POS. WHEN HE ISSUED THE CLRNC; THE CTLR DID SPELL IT FOR US; BUT I WAS UNABLE TO WRITE IT DOWN AS HE SPELLED IT QUICKLY. I WAS DOING THE NAV CHORES FROM THE R SEAT WHERE OUR NEW EFB IS STATIONED AND FIGURED THAT I COULD QUICKLY LOCATE THE INTXN ON THE EFB. SINCE THE UNIT WAS NEW TO ME; FINDING THE INTXN WAS HARDER THAN I IMAGINED. WITH MORE THAN A 100 KT TAILWIND; IT ONLY TOOK 2 OR 3 MINS OF ME FUMBLING AROUND TRYING TO FIND THE INTXN FOR US TO OVERSHOOT THE AIRWAY AND BE 12-15 MI OFF COURSE. LUCKILY; THE CTLR WAS WATCHING US AND AS SOON AS HE SAW THAT WE DID NOT MAKE THE TURN; HE QUICKLY ISSUED A TURN AND PROVIDED THE CORRECT SPELLING SO THAT WE COULD LOAD IT INTO OUR FMS. AS FAR AS WE KNOW; THIS DEV DID NOT CAUSE ANY LOSS OF SEPARATION FROM ANY OTHER ACFT. I LEARNED THAT WHEN BREAKING IN A NEW PIECE OF EQUIP; ONE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE OLD FASHIONED STANDBY (PAPER ENRTE CHART) NEARBY WHEN THINGS NEED TO BE ACCOMPLISHED QUICKLY. IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT TAKE LONG TO FIND YOURSELF OFF COURSE; ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT OVER 9 MI PER MIN!
