Default iPads

Finally, it's official. No discussion yet?

May 2018. Pro 10.5, with cellular out of the box (finally), but no official mention of GPS ownship positioning. I've "heard" several say that we will get that too, but I'd like to see an official statement.

Anyone seen it in action?

The ownship from GPS comes with the cellular Pro, but it is also a software option managed by the company. So even if you don't get it right away, they can turn it on later. You probably won't have it at first, so the company can quickly get the ipads online.

Seen what in action? Ownship display? iPads? Yes and yes. Georeferenced approach plates and airport diagrams are great but become a regulatory hurdle for anything other than Part 91. We can't have increased SA in the cockpit because some knucklehead might turn off all his displays and fly with only his iPad...or something. I've also had ADS-B In Wx as well as AHRS input(basically a PFD w/ GPS derived altitude & VSI) to the ipad but that was with Foreflight, which is light years ahead of Jepp FD. Jepp has teamed up with Foreflight so I can only hope we use Jepp charts through Foreflight and not Jepp FD. Anyone who has used Foreflight knows what I'm talking about.

I am assuming we will still keep the flight weather viewer app? I have found that to be very beneficial, especially when crossing a long line of thunderstorms

I find that 50% of the time it can’t connect to F99A.

I was told there is a metal strip in the surface case that is positioned just perfectly over the attena. I dunno but I used to get it done and now I don't.

Of course we will. They’ve raised a huge stink about FA turbulence injuries lately so it would be hypocritical to backtrack now. If anything delays the iPad rollout it will be the software out of the box.

Pivot case website shows they do not stock a case for the ipad pro 10.5. It does show however that one is coming soon. Perhaps that could play into the summer delivery schedule.

Since they said May that means we should expect Oct/Nov, right? I’m still getting up to speed on time conversions.
