Just got my company laptop.
Itīs for:
- my cbt-groundcourse
- JAR refreshers on CD-ROM (no classroom instruction)
- other "courses" (FANS etc.)
- T/O-data calculation in the aircraft, to tweak more weight out the charts -updates on flash-ROM before every flight
In the future (whenever that is...) they want a "less-paper"-cockpit (paper-less will never work) as well as most communication (reports etc.) being done online.
Itīs not because they respect me, but because they (will) save a bundle on costs for administration/distribution as well as costs for training facilities (the rooms etc.) and instructors.
