Hi All.
Does anyone know where CASA stands on using an IPad in flight to display procedure charts, maps, ersa etc?
As its all fairly new still, are there any rules saying they can/cannot be used in flight in place of the paper DAPs? Obviously the paper copy needs to be in the plane, within the pilots reach etc. Although I have heard rumours said that if you have a back up device such as an iphone that this is sufficient.
I had a look at a work mates Ipad in flight the other day... fantastic with the position plotted on the ERC chart etc. Being so easy to access ALL maps, plates and ersa entries so quickly, without going through folders and the flight bag. I can see how this could be the way of the future for documents in flight.
