Hi Charlos,

our boss actually provides iPads as well as an iPad mini for us - with Jeppesen VFR and IFR Apps.

They are really great - but as with every equipment on board, you have to get used to.

you can lock the screen, add assistive touch for easyer handling when in a case - and you have to look after the updates of the appinformation.
You get in time airspacewarnings with relevant frequencies popping up as well.

Additionaly I use my private iPad mini with AirNav as a Backup on a modified knee board.

Works great!
Lately I had it running on a window seat at an commercial flight - and I could monitor the whole flight, even at 34.000 feet ;-)
