I'm going to leave room for two iPads when I redo my panel. One to run Foreflight on as the main unti, either as a VFR or IFR with approach plates etc. The other one will be used in IFR as a VFR awareness running either same software or a different one.

There are other multiple uses for the second one:

FlightGuide has just announced a graphic TCAS capability with Zaon external TCAS. This is fantastic news and will eliminate the need to look at horrid little text displays. Can't see why it wouldn't work in Europe as well.

WingX software has synthetic vision and will serves as a good backup for total electrical failure.

All of them have some sort of real time weather capabilities if you can get 3G. Which you quite often can if not flying too high.

Good stuff ahead.
