Grease is right. I use iAnnotate. Same thing just different program. This a great tool for route study. Just remember you can't use them below 10k in the aircraft. I've heard rumors that a couple of airlines are getting approval to use them but don't think that will happen to us.
Of course, without official guidance, captains discretion applies!

I know LCA's that have had line checks given by SCA's, during which the LCA used his iPad as an EFB for all phases of flight. Just make sure you have the iPad in flight mode and you should be good to go, as long as you are not using your iPad to work on your monthly bid...

I still don't think it's legal. Why would the "FAA authorisation was only granted following an intensive three-month in-flight evaluation" for Executive Jet (read previous post) if it was OK for anyone to use it as an EFB. If it was OK why not have your laptop out. I can carry they same pubs in that too. You do have a good point in that we don't have specific guidance. I'll ask the some people to see if we can get the answer.

I have heard the 10K thing mentioned by others, but I think they are off base. Flight Standards has made no official ruling on the iPad. I think this is intentional. The FOM reference you mention is specifically for jumpseaters. I know LCA's that have had line checks given by SCA's, during which the LCA used his iPad as an EFB for all phases of flight. Nothing but positive comments were made. Just make sure you have the iPad in flight mode and you should be good to go, as long as you are not using your iPad to work on your monthly bid...

It is in the FOM

I am not trying to be argumentative and I am certainly not a lawyer nor did I stay at a Holiday inn last night "currently Red Lion" but I read it differently. The heading this is under in the FOM is
PERSONAL PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES FAR 91.21 , FAR 121.306 and the first of the paragraph I read to prohibit anyone even crew from using the listed devices and then lower section gives only jumseaters the ability to use the devices. Then lower it addresses the ability of crews to use the PAT. IF I was having a check ride and a real FAA inspector was on board I would request them not to be used. Just my opinion and your mileage may vary
