OzRunways 2.whoa!
Does this app run purely on GPS only or does it draw data from 3G (like googlemaps on iPhone)?

I think JBR meant does it use GPS or 3G for positioning purposes to which the answer would be that it uses whatever the iPad passes to the application, so if there is no 3G available, it would use GPS or 3G in the interim until a fix is made by GPS.
GPS does not work in Airplane mode.
But...you can individually disable WiFi, Cell data & Bluetooth, which has the same effect as airplane mode but keeps GPS working still.

Question. Despite having bought and downloaded daps, I either am too stupid to find them or it isn't accessible to me for some reason. Also, since doing the dreaded iOS 5 thing, (5.0.1, I waited.......) I have downloaded ersa again but have no airport info at all. Any ideas? Thanks.

Is the GPS / moving map extendable beyond Australia? Could you preload maps of PNG or other areas of the Pacific?

Thanks for the prompt reply shagpile. The problem is when I open the airports list on any airport, all I get is a blank page. Before the update to ios5 it worked fine, but I still couldn't access daps then either.
Yep iOS5 is a nightmare for transferring data. Best to write down your userID & reinstall OzRunways 2.5 from scratch. It will work perfectly after that (though you'll need to download your maps again, which are about 15mb each).

Not a bad App! Amazing that you can get this sort of thing now a days without having to spend millions on avionics! [and you can 'upgrade' the software without having to go spending another few million!]...
Only question is can someone recommend a good knee-board to hold the dam thing?

There are similar things on the sportys web page that are a lot cheaper and just as good.Im sure there are other places to get them online but that price seems a tad on the high side

Yeah I looked at Sporty's for the same item when I bought mine, but the postage brought it up to more than the Aussie price and I didn't want to wait for delivery from the US. They have this weird system where they charge you $14 for International documentation etc. and then separately bill you for postage after that. The other thing is that my Credit Card company seems to enjoy screwing me on the currency transfer from USD to AUD ..
