Thanks for the picture. That is way cool. Is that what you fly? Are you on the high end of private aviation? So what are they talking about here? Something for the lower price range? Something a weekend pilot could use?
Your welcome.
That’s a stock pic of a Gulfstream IV cockpit. Its not the actual jet I fly, I fly a G-IVSP which is just an upgraded model of the one you are looking at.
I guess you could say that I am on the high end of private aviation. I fly for a private owner/operator based out of Nashville TN. We don’t do charter or typical corporate aviation schedules.
I’ve always flown in either the corporate or private/owner/operator arena. Never have flown with an airline.
This little guy is for the iPad and has just cleared FAA certification as a class 1 portable kneeboard or Electronic Flight Bag. It allows the pilots to use this instead of keeping actual paper charts onboard the plane. Which has long since been a requirement by the FAA. You must have onboard with you at all times current paper charts and publications for the route you plan to fly.
This is intended to replace those and the FAA just signed off on it.
It would be ideal for the private pilot or small corporate operation as the real EFB’s are quite pricy and tie into the navigational and flight management computers of the aircraft.
