Correct ....certified EFBs are great. Wish our aircraft had them.....it is private IPads (non SOP )I am referring to.

Biz jet - my issue is around certification of the hardware (not the jep software) IAW RTCA/DO-160....it mentions in the iPad mini text an iPad being subjected to a decompression test at 51,000' this is one of many environmental tests required before an item can be classed as certified. If someone can show me any proof of certification of an iPad as aircraft equipment great ( Even if it is only referred to in the MEL) otherwise my info is that this is not certified aircraft hardware ( kind of like an exploding Samsung isn't).
