hi there

DO YOU RELY ON AN ipad FOR NAVIGATION?

=3Bi do=2C and on long trips with hard IFR at the&n= bsp=3B end of the trip.
=
=3Bi keep in the plane a charged 12volt Car Sta= rting Battery with a provision for using a cigarette plug to charge the ipa= d.
i have found that i can more or less maintain the= ipad charge=3B but not increase the ipad charge.

Thus=2C while addressing this problem=2C i had had an e= piphany=3B= why not a second ipad.=

i use the ipad for approach plates and VFR charts and = most IFR plates.

but if i had a ipad failure=2C i would have= an increased load at a time that the work load was already increasing.

Yes= =2C i can get information from the GNS 530. but why not have redundancy.

THINK OF IT THIS WAY:<= /b>

we build our airplanes with redundant= NavComs because we assume that having a back up is a safety feature=
ergo= =2C

I HAVE PURCHASED A SECOND IPAD.

it will stay= charged and powered down as a backup in case of a failure or a low battery= condition.
