Forkie us simple folk are easily amused.

Having tested the iPad with ozrunways and the Jepp TC viewer IFR to Longreach, and 90+% of it was cavok I found it no less useful in real terms than Jepp FlightDeck. My reasons for this are I never needed or wanted to use the gps on the IAL plate when I had all the info at hand on the GNS530. In fact I used to use the paper plates anyway for the approach however the tablet was great for info in the cruise and TOD info.

The beautiful thing with the iPad and the ozrwys/jepptc is how quickly you can select and find indoor change from an ERC to WAC to TAC to VTC and at the touch of a blue circle find all you need about an airstrip. This is a very powerful tool for single engine and single pilot IFR ops.

The old windows tablet was slow and clunky.

Now onto vfr flying which has been Longreach, birdsville, Coober Pedy, Ayers Rock, Katherine, Kunanurra, Broome so far, the Ozrunways has been awesome. As Old Akro say a it brilliant for that. Especially for fi
