I suppose its just a question of time before a new display is incorporated on the instrument panel which displays jepp plates/airport diags etc from an onboard database? perhaps also optionally superimposing a/c position on the plates....as a back up ref?. Next step after that, of course, would be heads up 3d view of the approach sequence in the windshield...similar to "fly through the boxes" in MS Flightsim?!

Perhaps I'll see that before I retire (assuming I get hired of course), which is now likely to be in 30years time as opposed to 25yrs thanks to 60-65

re: broadband on the flightdeck...narh. Possibly too much of a distraction, especially considering all those wonderful aviation webites you can visit these days (I am of course referring to, the one, and only, pprune!)
