iPad use in US FAA exams?
For those of you in the U.S., can you tell me if Ipads, with such apps as flight planning, performance and wieght and balance are allowed to be used during the written? Or are you required to use the plotter and E6b?
In europe its not approved and I don't think it will ever get exam approved in faa. Flightdeck approved, thats another thing.

Dauntless software for written test:

Geez. Suprising you actually ask. Did you read some FAA sources saying Yes or see it specifically allowed in the PTS?
What's tested on flight exam is not following the magenta line on moving map.
I've seen it first hand when someone, supposedly flying heading/altitude or tracking 'CDI' on G400 to next waypoint, fiddled with iPad too much or veered off course few times, watching the iPad's magenta line more than what's been told (by me as FI).
Yes, it's handy for easy fuss-free private flying planning and more, but for checkrides??

For now you need to know them by heart.. and some rules of thumb mentally. By the time you have progressed to some newgen machines, all would be taken care of in the FMS
