You seem to have done your homework old bean! I too have been reading that AMC, but doing so feels like wading through treacle, and has led to unplanned naps.
I'm not an expert but
AFAIK iOS apps are sandboxed, so the app can have problems and crash (to the user it closes suddenly) but the system remains fine.
Windows (win32 desktop stuff) is not so easy.
My company is getting EFBs certified at the moment, and we have come up with a cool solution that uses quite sturdy duplicate suction mounts on the inside of the flight deck windscreen. They work very well indeed - we did some informal testing in the office and just one of them can easily support my bodily mass (no mean feat; must lay off the strudel
). As the outside of our building is mostly glass, I suppose I could climb it Mission Impossible style.
We are using some excellent software for OFP / w&b / manuals etc. and have made some custom journey logs etc. that work with it. Flight plans get pushed to it automatically as well. It's really awesome stuff and light years better than what most people do now i.e. iPhone camera picture of techlog to Ops
