I was more curious how it works as an EFB, charts and plates and airport diagrams. I do not have one and thus far have not had access to one. However, a company I flew for a couple years ago was nuts about everyone using these infernal
FlightPrep devices based on cheap flimsy underpowered netbooks, which were glitchy, unreliable, not self- contained, expensive, hard to update, hard to use, prone to freezing, susceptible to liquids, hard to secure... I could go on. I thought they were a serious step backwards in the name of technology and were a total waste of money. So having struggled with those things for a year and knowing poor they were, I was surprised people are saying iPads are so much better. To make me deliriously happy all an EFB needs to do is show plates and charts and not get in the way.
