The way I read the regs, there is nothing stopping me using the iPad for VFR flights as long as I carry all approved docs and a plan able to cover the planning requirements..
As long as good Situational awareness is used, it has to be one of the most accurate ways aside from tso approved devices to get position fixes.
Running it alongside the Garmin gps in the aircraft it has been as accurate without failure..
Contacting CASA may give you five different answers. That's fine by me because if they are ever to try and make a strong statement or stand on such devices, they'll have to sort themselves out first.
My expectation is that full vfr approval in an outward way will not be far away, as the benefits far outweigh any drawbacks..
