Do ameriflight pilots use or are they allowed to use foreflight? Or they must use paper plates.

Another question, is there any training contract for the ACP program?

Is there any regulation that keeps you from using an iPad in your plane regardless as long as you're meeting the requirement of having paper charts in the plane? I can't imagine that some still wouldn't have it on board. I mean people have been doing it for years anyway.

Not legal under Part 135.

There's regulations that require interference testing, training, and validation prior to using any EFB under 135 and 121. The process can take 12 months or more to fully implement the program.

True. I'm not talking about legal or certified, just talking about what people actually do. Non commercial pilots for years have been using this technology even though it's not 'legal', even for instrument flying or approaches. I just mean if you have one, it isn't actually illegal to take it on board in 135 ops, right? It's like the 'honor system' that you won't use it 'illegally', right?

How was the interview? I have to phone interview also and wondered what kind of questions they ask you?

I was curious what the background check requirements are for ameriflight? Does anyone know?

It's illegal to have it powered up in the cockpit on a 135 flight during critical phases of flight.

Got it. That's what I was wondering.

Actually, I take that back. It's not just critical phases of flight, it's in the airplane altogether.

135.144.
(b)(6) means if it's approved, you can use it. If not, you can't power it up. And without an EFB program, it's not approved.

We're hoping for first quarter of 2018 for the test phase.
