British Airways and the Ipad?

Hi

As BA introduced the ipads to their fleets? I have noticed that a few aircrafts have a suction window mount fitted but not sure if its for the ipad or not?

It will only be classed as a class 1 EFB.

The intention is for permanent mounts with charging and position feed from the aircraft systems. Won't be for another year though.

The ubiquitous 'RAM' mount!

Class 1 only at the moment until, as mentioned above, aircraft feed and power introduced.

We even have an SOP to 're apply suction' during the climb out!

It might actually be useful in the future.

Hi

The programme used by BA do they just give aerodrome and enroute charts or are they being used for flightplans,wx charts,notams etc?

Thanks

Are BA using TGL-36 as chosen method of compliance?? Surely must be moving to AMC 20-25 as an acceptable method of compliance - far more useful ;-)

Eventually with communications with aircraft avionics, that'll make it a class 3 under the old TGL-36 definition, or installed (AMC 20-25)....ram mounts are good, work well.....confused though, given a class 1 installation, that would suggest that at BA, the iPad is only used for reading documents, and nothing else?? I.e. Items with absolutely no safety impact on the aircraft operation (e.g. registration doc. for a/c, noise certificate etc.)......

F/o
