@vfrpad You look like a real ass posting your same false information over and over on various videos, not only from your primary account, but also from the @MrThecorrector1 account. We all know that you are trying your best to bash the iPad or anything other than you VFRpad just to help your own business. It's pretty lame...
Ipad can't be used as an aviation tool. Two reasons out of many, it doesn't have real GPS, you have to use an external bluetooth GPS, and that is prohibited in aircraft by the FAA. Second reason is, all the apps for it are internet dependent, you also can't us Wifi or 3-4G in an aircraft, it is also prohibited. No transmitting devices are allowed in aircraft, only a real GPS is, because it is a receiving device.
If you would have bought a VFRpad, you wouldn't have to buy all the accessories. The VFRpad is a complete EFB, and everything for a pilot is built-in. I feel sorry for all the masses that got scammed into buying Ipad as a flight tool!
I'm using the iPad now with all my IAP's (paper backup in a separate flight bag) - and will never turn back.. So much easier, quicker, more organized. In addition - walk into an FBO, turn on the wifi, and save the latest weather charts to it to be able to reference in flight, file flight plans, etc. It's a whole lot easier for night IFR, too, since it's backlit. The best invention for pilot's today!
I saw a kindle type book viewer at NBAA that had Jeppesen approach plates on it. Does anyone know how to get Jeps on the iPad? I think they where pdf files also but don't know who provides them.
This is a good option if you don't already have Foreflight Mobile on your iPhone/iPad. It is a bit pricey compared to other iPhone/iPad apps, but it gives you full FSS briefing info, flight planning, and CHARTS!!! All VFR and Low-enroute IFR as well as High jet IFR route charts. They are updated on the FAA schedule. Radar, Sat, etc, etc. Check it out! BTW, I'm just a very, very satisfied user...not a salesman!
Excellent demo, thanks. Let's say I downloaded the Nacomatic (thanks to Doug Ranz for assembling that) on my IBM desktop. Could I transfer it over to the Ipad via usb port ? Also, any way to download current IFR enroute maps to view on the Ipad?
@sellnowatlanta Sectionals and enroute charts are also available as pdf download, but it looks like FAA charges a modest fee for the download of $1.65/each, whereas the approach plates and AF/D's are free. There are some ipad apps for aviation which help facilitate downloads of all charts/plates. Those apps have an annual service fee model that looks reasonable. Ref SkyCharts and Foreflight. I'm still evaluating them myself.
@dhallpolo I didn't know the faa had pdf sectionals, I know their enroutes were, but the sectionals I have downloaded have been tifs. It would be nice if they provided the enroutes as tifs because you can do so much more with them.
@sellnowatlanta There are a number of ways to get pdf documents from your computer to the ipad. I'm using my computer and iDisk. The Goodreader website has a nice faq/how-to for transferring files to GoodReader on the ipad.
Thank you for the demo, I'm interested to see how the iPad will play out. I would rename your demo as Using the iPad as an approach reader. There is a big difference between an approach reader and an EFB.
@brou0040 Thanks. If you're using an ipad to read approach plates, you're using it as a Class 1 Type A EFB. I'm not a legal source for this, but this looks to be approved in lieu of paper for part 91 operations.
@dhallpolo Yeah I guess your right. I'm just thinking that most pilots view your demo as a approach reader and that an EFB can bring in additional features such as a navlog, gps georeference, weather, etc.
Great demo thanks - I have not got an iPad yet, can you print out the plates and how does the iPad connect to a printer? Do you happen to know if anyone is working on this for Europe?
I coughed up the $10 and picked up PDF Reader Pro. It's nice and it can search text inside the doc, something some readers can't do.

iPad is a T-PED and is prohibited in aircraft by the FAA. And no it isn't covered under FAR 91.21 b.5, that is for PEDs.

Ipad doesn't work as an EFB, it is internet dependent. Plus, it doesn't have GPS. If you want a real EFB checkout VFRpad. digitalflightpad.
