One guy I flew with had managed to get the Flight Ops CD onto the iPad, with a working menu.

Forgot to ask how he did that, wish I had.

Anyone know how to do this?

Flt Ops CD

There are many ways to load the CD, the easiest/fastest method I have found so far is to use iTunes and Goodreader.

Load the cd on to your computer desktop.

Connect your iPad to your computer with the proprietary plug to USB.

After iTunes opens and sync is complete, click on your iPad's name under 'Devices' in the left hand column

Click on 'Apps' in the menu appearing along the top of the new page.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see a box with Apps that can load documents, select the Icon for Goodreader or any similar App.

Then click 'add' and highlight all the .pdf files you want to add from the CD, and then select 'choose'.

The .pdf files will load to your Goodreader App in just a few seconds.

Disconnect your iPad from iTunes

In Goodreader, open the .pdf file you want to use.

If there is NOT a menu available on the page that opens, tap the centre of the page to get the menu.

Tap the 'open book' symbol on the black coloured bar at bottom centre of the page.

In the box that opens, tap 'outlines' at bottom centre.

From the menu that opens, keep tapping the blue arrow on the right side to see sub-menus and when you find what you want, tap on the item you want to read.

The OM(A) is also searchable from the chapter index pages, tap on any heading in the chapter indexes and you will taken direct to that section.

Yada,

If you want a working menu for the EK cd on an iPad do the following:

1/ duplicate your complete content on your desktop into one folder
2/ zip the complete folder
3/ move the zipped folder via good reader as explained before to your iPad
4/ in goodreader click on the zipped folder to unzip
5/ delete the zipped folder, only keep the unzipped one on your iPad
6/ start the cd menu by clicking on the index file in the unzipped folder

I personally star the index file in good reader, so I can start it with one click.
You have to go through the zipped folder because goodreader does not accept complete folders, only zipped ones.

Hope it helps

Change to Downloads HD

If you are wondering why the App won't Save a copy of the displayed plan as a .pdf file in the normal manner - once the OFP is displayed on the GABI page, copy the URL in the address bar, select DOWNLOADS at the bottom of the App page, select '+' to display the Add window, then paste the copied URL into the address bar of the window and then select DONE. Next, select FILES from the bottom of the App page and you should find .pdf copy of your OFP.
