Flying around your Antipodean skies is a lot easier and probably more fun than than the crowded airspace you used to frequent over here!
The I pad especially with SkyDemon is the greatest thing since GA aviation sliced bread. Used intelligently is a great aid for safety en route and avoiding Airspace infringements.
Nothing flakey about the technology either, being FAA and CAA approved for commercial flight decks out of the box. Instant up to date Notams,met, airspace changes, enroute frequencies, and on IFR flights up to date Jepps as soon as on WiFi. The GPS position very accurate with external bluetooth receiver.
No more bulky books and reams of paper updates.
If you keep it out of direct sunlight in your windscreen it doesn't overheat, and if
you do make that mistake, up and running normally after a short cool off.
Technology has far overtaken the regulation Luddites!!
Yes we have charging facilities, and carry two on IFR trips, in the unlikely event of failure.
