The second thing (and this is more related to international flying), was how much quicker it is to bring up information on a specific FIR or region you were flying over or into. I’m yet to find a better organized “Country Rules and Regulations” CRAR section equivalent on the Jepps. I might be biased to LIDO on the iPad over the Jepps simply because I had to know more with regards to international flying vs domestic.
never used but from plates I’ve seen, it’s actually not awful. At first you look at it like “wut.” But it’s pretty clean, you know how cluttered Jepp/FAA charts get.
now as far as the app UI, stability, features, gps ownship, etc. No clue how well it works.
If anyone wants to go halfsies on popcorn in a few months, we can sit back and watch what happens. I’m sure the “CBT in the summer cycle” will totally prepare 2000 pilots for the rollout.
