You know what mcgrath50, now that i think about it, your exactly right! 'Simulated failed' EFB or even just failed EFB is inevitable and if i dont prepair for it by honing my paper skills, ill end up in **** creek. Im thinking ill stick to paper for a while and slowly introducing a EFB as a referance/cross check only.
I havent discussed this with my flying school/CFI yet but im sure they will share the same view as you.
