Hi there,
I'm new to this forum but am doing research for a university project about the use of iPads as a replacement for paper aircraft manuals, for example, with the recent news of Alaska Airlines and United Airlines introducing iPads in the cockpit.
If I'm posting this question in the wrong forum or if there's someone else I should ask instead, please let me know
I was wondering if you could give me an idea of:
- The weight and number of pages in a set of flight manuals for one aircraft (e.g. for a business jet, like a Gulfstream 550)
- Does each aircraft only come with one set of manuals? Or is every pilot authorized to fly the plane get his/her own set of manuals?
- Where can I get a photo of an aircraft manual (not the specific contents, just a photo that gives an indication of how thick the manual is).
If you could help anyway, that'd be really great as there doesn't seem to be much information online about this topic!
Thanks in advance,
- LL
