I just flew with someone that knew a guy at RAH. RAH actually tested these out for Navtech for 6-12 months a couple years back. After the trial they promptly said hell no. He said they had lots of ASAPs.

Look I'm all for lightening up and moving forward with technology, but it's so frustrating a company that is not at all 'broke' are so god damn cheap with everything. At some point you have to say "we've made plenty now let's use some of this money and make things better" etc. How it's explained to me is this is not costing AWAC anything as we are going to be giving Navtech feedback etc as their only US carrier. Figures.

If they were hell bent on not paying Jepp, I wish they would have just used Foreflight. FF is awesome as hell and the government charts it uses are easier than Navtechs IMO.
