[h4]iPad gets approval from FAA to replace paper flight charts and maps [/h4]
By Vlad Savovposted Mar 1st 2011 at 9:03AM
The Federal Aviation Administration is moving with the times, it would seem, as it has just granted the first approval for the use of iPads instead of paper charts for informing airline pilots while on duty. There are already a number of EFB (electronic flight bag) devices in use, however the iPad is by far the cheapest and most portable one that's been validated yet. Executive Jet Management, a charter flight operator, went through three months of testing with the iPad, wherein it was used by 55 pilots on 250 flights, in order to obtain its FAA license to rely exclusively on the Apple tablet for its in-flight mapping data. Other airlines will have to go through the same process in order to dump their big stacks of paper charts for a slinky slate, but the important thing is that the precedent has been set. As to redundancies in case of failure or a software crash, the likeliest scenario is that pilots will carry a spare iPad with them, though there wasn't even a single (software) crash during the trial period -- which also included rapid decompression and electronic interference testing.

Exactly. Dude just doesn't want to admit that flash is important and that most of the apps in the Apple market are useless. Androids App Market is growing more and more and has a lot of great apps to boast. Not to mention the customizing ability of Android. U jailbrake ur Apple product and it still looks the same

Whenever I read your posts it makes me want to bang my head against my desk repeatedly. He is simply stating that cell phones in Japan are ahead of ours as far as their features and capabilities. Like LimitedRetroOG mentioning Nokia... average consumers get all giddy and excited about front facing cameras and higher megapixel rear cameras I always get international travelers in my store with phones that make me
