Until the EFB can be dimmed to match the brightness of the instrument panel at night, it is going on the floor, behind my bag. Safety of flight.

Whatever rationale you need to willfully violate regulations is up to you. You will be the one held accountable to justify your actions. The EFB works fine at night if it's the Nav Aero. If you are referring to the Panasonic Tough Book I understand the dimming issue. The strap on mount is allowed by the FAA as a secure mount in all phases of flight. An iPad clamped in the EFB while in various cases is Not.

So is this on the 57? 11?
On the 777 the efb is not removable and dims as low as the cockpit lighting system. Our efb is primary for most pilots, and the ipad does not make an appearance in the cockpit unless there is an efb mel.
