"The iPad mini’s compact footprint will enable exciting new options for space-constrained cockpit use. Its size is ideal for kneeboard use. The small mass should enable lighter-weight mounting systems that more easily meet retention requirements, including applicable RTCA DO-160 testing. For some, the iPad mini also may serve as a great backup source of EFB information for airplanes with full-size iPad EFB or traditional Class 2 and 3 EFBs. The form factor may also be ideal for other aviation users such as flight attendants and technicians.

Regulatory Authorization
Due in large part to the factors and observations noted here, we do not anticipate any issues for operators to gain regulatory authorization of Jeppesen Mobile apps on iPad mini according to the FAA AC 120-76B standard, or the EASA draft AMC 20-25 standard. In support of our customers, on November 6, 2012, Jeppesen successfully completed Rapid Decompression testing of a representative iPad mini, to 51,000 feet."
