iPad and Jepp FD Pro questions
We are getting new iPads this month, the iPad 2 Air, to replace the first gen iPads.
We are FINALLY getting JeppFD Pro after years of Jepp TC Pro. We welcome this, so many more options than TC. I always thought that FD didn't require any charts whatsoever.... however we are being told that we are still going to need to carry and update enroute Hi charts along with 10-1 area charts. Do you long time FD users still carry any kind of paper charts or is this yet another snafu on our end? I thought FD came with enroutes and 10-1s.

We have JeppFD and still carry high, low and area charts...basically all of volume 1. You'll see after using JeppFD that a lot of little notes and whatnot, that are found on the paper charts, are omitted or hard to find on the electronic charts.
It still beats the heck out of having to update all the rest of the paper though!
