Ah, okay. I have my own LTE/GPS ipad with foreflight for private flying and it's awesome. No searching for free wifi at every airport. Glad to hear someone is at least thinking about this. Can't wait until the FAA allows GA to get PDC through an app, because then it will be a hop, skip and a jump to connect the ipad to the panel mount equipment to upload the clearance. If I never have to enter a FRC into a GPS / FMS again it will be too soon.
