iPod & foreflight App...awesome
I just have to share this with you guys.
A friend of mine has been using an iPad with the foreflight App for some time and telling me how well it works.
Today I broke down and purchased the iPad and purchased the App for $75 and oh my God!!!!
This is going to be awesome.
The amount of very timely information is just incredible. As few or as many terminal procedures, arrivals, departures, NOTAMs, highs and lows, sectionals, weather, FBO's, fuel prices, and quick very easy comparisons between airports, FBOs and fuel prices in just un real. Very easy to use and the quality of the images as you zoom in on things is incredible. and in addition to all that you have full fast internet and email as well.....
I'm not a sales person...just a pilot and i had to share this with you guys.
I haven't used it in the plane yet but I expect it to be exceptionally convenient and easy in the cockpit.

We use the I-Pad for foreflight and also Jepp. charts. That along with wireless internet on our airplane is one helluva setup. Definately recommend it.

AOPA Online: Jet charter to use Jeppesen iPad app in lieu of paper charts
I don't have one but it looks like a good tool, specially when you're in Aspen and trying to figure out climb gradients and all that stuff

Jeppview is nothing more than a chart viewer - but well worth it as its fast and easy to update. Foreflight may wow any new user but in reality just an accukwik with assorted other questionably useful functions that are pretty to look at (weather)..
Dont get me wrong here - iPads are a no brainer at $499...but certainly not some earth shattering invention for the cockpit.
