One of those you hope you never need but glad you do when and if you ever need it. Notify NTSB is another great app for pilots in the APP Store.

I have an Ipod Touch and it does everything you would ever need in the cockpit. An Ipad would be the same if not better. Please visit my blog to see some good deals in Ipads and alot of other cool stuff. Ipad in the cockpit is a must have if you ask me.

We are using the Foreflight app which costs approx. $130 for two tablets and one phone per year. Yes, charts are available free from the FAA or fltplan.com or..., but only as individual downloads, not as databases. (If I am misinformed here, please let me know!!) FWIW, with a little research, I have found all the Pilot's Guides or User Manuals for all the equipment in the airplane (wx radar, FCS, Flite Phone, FMS, EFIS, etc.) and am looking into an e-AFM and e-POM. The .pdf files have to be loaded into the iBooks app. We will gain back tons of real estate in the airplane, save 70+ pounds (mostly from Jepps) and the iPads pay for themselves in less than 2-years of Jepp subscriptions. Curious if two iPads equals one with a spare battery? If anyone can site some official FAA sources (written that is), I would be grateful!
