Now, some minis might "slip through" the approval process, but beware, the intent of the EFB is to display the chart at the
same size as the regular Jep/Noaa charts. The mini doesn't do that.
I didn't read "same size" in the FAA guidance you quoted.
If it's as legible and clear, it appears to meet that specification.
