Palmpilots and approach plates..
Just ouf of interest. Is there a way to store approach plates on palm pilots and if you did have one, would you be allowed to use it during your IR test or would it have to much of an impact on the aircraft equipment?
sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

You're obviously a youngster with fresh, new eyes. As a crusty olde f@rt, I find reading the Jeppesen charts difficult enough, without trying to read it from a small palm pilot screen.
It, or something similar is probably the way of the future.

The only way I can think of is using Adobe Acrobat for Palm. Obviously you'd need your Approach Plate in pdf format. But the Palm version totally screws up any graphics. Bear in mind a Palm's (e.g T3) screen is less than a 1/3 of the size of your Approach charts!
Jepp do official tablet PC style units but they're not cheap.
So all in all, not possible yet (sadly). On the other hand if your looking for a Palm GPS... you can go to www.flight-master.com.
