I'm talking about closed and modified taxiways. These are things that need to be in the app. But that's ok, I'll just make every block out late while I bury myself reading 20 pages of unlit towers and 10 ft tall obstacles 150 left of the DER to find the flight critical info like this is 1975.
Not to mention as above the time spent heads down swapping between 3 different ground charts for situational awareness and trying to find a ramp freq or an airport spot that isn't there. You know where I can find them in 5 seconds without losing any situational awareness or distraction from the already high workload, inherently dangerous environment? FD Pro.

I’ve found myself hunting and pecking after landing to get to the chart. So far most airports
i know all the “spots” since I go there a lot. Did have to completely rely on my FO to navigate to a certain spot the other day. Otherwise I would have had to stop, or ask for progressive. I think the potential is there for someone to leave a taxi way while they’re pecking away to get the right chart. What you guys think ?
