We at AvPlan congratulate the OzR folks for getting through the approval process before we did.

One thing they did not mention in their announcement email is the CASA guidelines for EFB use (CAAP 233) This applies to private operations (Commercial ones are governed by your companies operations manual).

The most important thing in my view is carry a backup. Please carry a backup. Please. This could be two iPad's (and there are guidelines on the minimum size in that document). This can be paper maps and ERSA for the route to be flown.

All it will take is one incident where the device failed and the pilot had no backup and then expect to have more regulatory oversight, which will affect everybody.
