I have no issue with filling in a plotting chart. It allows us to teach the newbies procedures for backup use including HF, and give them some sense of situational awareness to the system.

I have already had issues with iPads not being able to cope with the volume of data I wish to view on an enroute chart and then locking up and having to shutdown and reopen the app or hard reset the iPad.

Also, the electronic enroute does not replace the Atlantic Orientation by an acceptable means. The information takes too long to easily find compared with looking at the chart. It is far better for line training, in conjunction with the plotting chart.

FFS, what else do you have to do on a long trip nowadays apart from drink coffee, criticise the industry and management (because we know we can all do it better) and fill in the Times Crossword???!!!

That's my two-penneth.
