SBuzzkill Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yep, they're awesome other than being afraid of dropping it out the side! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS_HMMR Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Very useful. Foreflight and iBal, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChprPlt Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 recently used one on a long ferry. Foreflight is handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM5 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 My (previous)instructor would bring his along on our cross country flights. They are pretty cool, having access to fore flight etc....but I personally prefer the old fashioned method. An iPad is great, but being an electronic device, it's prone to any number of failures (however unlikely). It also takes up a lot of room on your leg. They certainly aren't small...this might not be such an issue in a larger bird, but R-22's aren't exactly spacious, especially if you're 6'3" In any event, I would make sure I always had a paper backup.

DS_HMMR Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 https://vimeo.com/43842585 the suction mount works well, even with the added weight of the armored case. stuck well, even during hover autos. and the fore flight is a nice backup.

Wally Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 If it's bigger than a kneeboard, it's too big for the cockpit. With luck, you'll survive the experience confirming that observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
