Well I agree with you on both accounts. But the company doesn't provide us with sh. Just the expectation that it's done every day before fdp. So... who do I contact at the FAA to tell skw to get their heads outta their @$$3$?
We didn't update paper charts everyday. Why do we now have to update the efb every fdp....?

Unless theres clearly an important (legal) chart update, my efb stays in airplane mode from the time i leave home until the end of the trip. I don't update it during a trip because I was almost burned once. Windows downloaded an update, and then installed it when i turned it on in the plane, leaving me without an efb until the door was almost shut.

Seriously it's not that complicated. plug it in update the Jeps, update company material leave it plugged in so it's charged for the next day it takes a few minutes. Much less time than the old way.

At RAH we only have to update before every trip. Has to be charged to 90 percent before every duty period however.

Interesting we can get away with an 80% charge to begin the day.
I quit messing with hotel wifi on the efb. Prior to a trip and when Siri reminds me to do a jepp update I have Siri set a reminder for the next update date.

I was told (at the hanger) it only needs to be up to date before your trip. (If you have to sign in on swol for the trip) thats why we have the new jepp update that has efective charts now..

This is the word that I've heard but I think the FOM is a bit unclear on this point.

That's what I do but still kind of vague as to whether updated the day before the trip is good enough, or if it needs to be done the day of (after you report for duty. so as not to start FDP early). I think day before is OK since the app now tracks pending Jepp updates and gives you a heads up.
