 |
|
I got my Skypad2 a week or so ago and so far have been impressed........but
I have not flown with it. I did run the Voyager software on my PC and
hooked it up to x-plane. Pretty good training tool.
Voyager's approach plates are geo referenced.

Look forward to report from a flight or two. Especially responsiveness
for screen updates. I've seen original Skypad, and software is very
nice, tablet computer was a bit heavy and fat for use on kneeboard or
lap. Hmm, maybe room for it on the tunnel?

I flew with my new iPad last weekend for the first time using plates
downloaded from www.nacomatic.com using Goodreader for iPad.
Played with it at home before taking it in the plane, which I
recommend. Easy to bookmark approaches ahead of time for your route.
Charts and airfield diagrams (appear to be .pdf copies of the green
book pages) are free and you can make a contribution if you want to
help them keep the site going.
Takes a while to download, so I now download to desktop, connect iPad
and transfer.
No room on my tunnel and a little big to strap to my knee, so waiting
for the RAM iPad holder to appear in mid June, then use some RAM ball
joints and connect to the bar going from glare shield to the cabin
top. That way it will be facing me at eye level and just to the right
of my RAM mounted 396.
A little glare in bright sunlight, and have not tried it at night or
in the soup yet, but think it's going to work just fine.
