OT: Software glitches leave Navy Smart Ship dead in the water
These iPads aren't controlling anything, they are used for charts.
I see. So then why according to the news reports several dozen flights were grounded?
< See apparently the FAA rules state you must have a workable iGadget with a properly configured flight plan app/plane documentation or you can't fly.
So they are in essence controlling whether the plane can fly or not...
Glitching iGadget = grounded.
