I mean after October 10 are we still going to have to carry our charts as a backup while we use the efb? Or will we magically be fully proficient on October 10 and no longer carry our pubs while trying to figure out how the efb works for the very first time?
Yes, not to be used on the Flight Deck...ie...don't have the mount out and have the efb sitting in it. I'd love to see the look on someone's face when the FAA sees them with the efb out and sitting in its mount and asks...."where's your letter of authorization?"
On or after Oct 10 or whatever date they say, you may use them on the flight deck. I think you need to carry your charts for 10 to 12 flight segments after that date. When you've finished that, then you will not need to carry your charts anymore.
