I think everyone is already flying with an iPad now, how simple would it be to get that iPad to talk to the rest of the electronics just like your cell phone does when you jump into a vehicle and it automatically connects to CarPlay?
lettings the tablet have a critical role to fly the aircraft … or corrupts the integrity of the onboard avionics.. NO Thank you

the amount of effort puts into the design, the testing, the manufacturing of aviation grade avionics is a world away from consumer electronics for good reasons.
they freeze it, bake it, shake it, bombard it with magnetic fields, test it in context….there is no pressure to cut corners it is 100% safety. yes it is expensive but you get exactly what you paid for.

this video of how they work at Garmin really exemplify the spirit well
Agile is online now
