Jan the 1st quarter Distant Learning (CPAT) comes out, with an iPad/Jepps module...when each pilot completes the online training, they are certified to use the iPad on the aircraft without restrictions.
Also, several Check Airman are already approved to use the devices in all phases of flight.
Thank god... Of course, there will be the 300 or so old guys who "just prefer paper"... Knock yourself out, pal.
