Question about Part91 aviation charts
 
We recently upgraded to a large turbine aircraft with a gross weight over 12,500 lbs. We have current charts on our dual Garmin 750 units and update them. With those active, do I need a LOA to use Ipad charts?
Would I need to carry a complete set of Naco charts perhaps on board to make it legal?

Thanks for any help.

Check FSIMS FAA Order 8900.1, Volume 3, Chapter 18, Operations Specifications (also 91J LOA's) guidance. Also check AC 120-76 for EFB guidance. I don't believe you need an LOA for part 91 EFB use.

We just went through this. When you are a large turbine airplane operator which is 91F, you need to comply with everything in AC 120-76B

You do not need to get an LOA. But you need to document crew training, have an EFB manual, and do the interference testing. If your a Jeppesen customer they have a Part 91 EFB starter kit for free. Basically if your running Jeppview or Foreflight on an iPad you have a Class 1 EFB with Type B applications. They key with the Class 1 is they only need to be secured and not mounted to aircraft. Kneeboarding and temporary section mounts accomplish this.

Sportys will handle all of this for you if you don't have the time for $799. It's says that it's for EFBs with Foreflight but if you read on it says its approval for all Type B applications which Jeppview.

Thank you!

I found my answer. No LOA needed for part 91 EFB for a jet over 12,500lbs.
