I no longer carry any paper in the cockpit. IPad with Skydemon coupled with GTN 650 and Garmin Aera gives me all I need.

I don't use the real time GPS capability of Skydemon, but it has all the charts I need both VFR and IFR as well as all the plates for aerodromes. Moreover they are always up to date which the paper ones never are.

Should I fly to Holland again, which in haven't for a while. I'll buy a chart in case of ramp checks, but it'll never be unfolded!

I get weather and notams from Skydemon when planning, but use other sources as well such as Orbifly and the Met office, AIS and Olivia.

The French have all the IFR and VFR aerodrome plates in IPad and iPhone Apps VAC and IVAC so I tend to have those as well. Pooleys also have an App and others are appearing more or less daily.
