Other than detailed fuel planning, it's by far the best IPad app on the = ground and in the air. I fly cross country nearly every week and have = replaced all paper in the cockpit. I have every high/low/sectional = chart available with GPS positioning real time at all altitudes. All = approaches, STAR's, etc as well (although you don't have your position = on the approaches like a Jepp approach. I fly pressurized at 8-10k = cabin alt for 4+ hours routinely and have never had a problem. I also = keep my checklists on it in PDF format, and they are 2 clicks away. If = the battery ever gets low I use the charger that came with the IPad and = plug it into an airline type 12v-120v adapter, but that almost never = happens. It's worth the money, but a couple of tips. Always hook your iPad to = wifi for the monthly downloads so your data account doesn't run over. = Secondly, get a case that will prop the IPad up on the seat so you don't = have to hold it up in the weather, OR get a leg strap to hold it down on = your lap. Also, don't use the gps if you don't need it (go into airplane = mode for nonflying stuff) and the batt will last longer than you for = sure! Lastly, turn the 3G service off (don't use airplane mode) and = the GPS will still work at any altitude and wont run the batt down as = much. Email direct if you need more data. =20 Bob Rickard IV-P On Nov 1, 2010, at 11:04 AM, Colyn Case wrote: > check out ForeFlight for the enroute >=20 > On Nov 1, 2010, at 1:26 PM, H & J Johnson wrote: >=20 >> I used an iPad yesterday for the first time as an electronic flight = bag.
