Guess we have a real problem here then. A5 is 210 x 148. A standard iPad is smaller, let alone a mini.
So does an iPad meet CAR233 or the CAAP, and how did the OzRunways boys get approval if the device doesn't meet the specs?
To the letter of the law then the iPad can still be only a backup device (even if it qualifies as an authoritative data source) and you still have to carry all the paperwork.
I'd love a definitive ruling here as this seems to me to be getting rather silly.
From my understanding the CAO refers to AOC holders and recommended to everybody else, but I'm not the expert.
Does anybody really know?
