Thanks Chris! :-)
We do give everyone charts, but it's out of a feeling that we should, rather than a belief they'll use them.
Indeed, throwing a bit of fuel on the fire, I actually think that using a chart rather than an electronic alternative is poor airmanship.
Anything that reduces pilot workload and is perfectly up to date all the time (and even pings up notam zones automatically - love that one) should be used. Artificially making life more difficult than it needs to be cannot be a good thing.
At it's most simple, assuming equal competence with both, a pilot is less likely to get lost/infringe airspace/use wrong frequency etc. etc. if they are using an ipad rather than a chart.
Then, really throwing my hat in the ring, I'm a firm believer that both driverless cars and driverless planes will greatly increase safety. I'll be keeping my classic sports car or old spam-can - but I'll be aware that in using them I'm making a choice of fun/interest/challenge over safety.
