Pre-Flight
Howdy everyone,
I'm just curious as to how everyone uses their iPads/Nexus 7's etc. in flight. I personally have an iPad and a Galaxy Tab Note 10.1, but was curious as to how these help a VFR pilot inflight. I recently was running some XC's with my instructor and we had the sectional out, checking our location using the VOR and drawing lines on our sectional, also checking our flight plan and surrounding markers we chose, which was great and all, but as I was driving home I thought that surely there was a way to consolidate this all into one. Is this how people fly using tablets, or do I have it all wrong? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy using the charts and doing things by hand, but I'd also like to know what others do.
Thanks in advance,
Murrgh
P.S - I've only just started flying, I'm around 25 hours right now into my PPL, plan on going into IFR afterwords, then adding Multi on after that as well. So please forgive me if this question seems obvious/ridiculous.
