That explains everything; I forgot, you are LCA!
That's why so many pilots can't do $h..... with iPads, because geniuses like you are teaching them.

Preflight iPad! I bet, you bring your own (Made in China $10.00) power pack on board, because you can't figure out why your battery lasts only 3 hours. I can't wait for another news flash: United airplane emergency landing in (.) due to fire on the flight deck; apparently pilots have used cheep-o Chinese fake power pack not certified by UL, that overheated."

No joke. That thing is as necessary as my ID now. He pushed hard with company to get it made official just like crew companion was but they said no.

As far as updates...that should be automatic and out of view of the user.

My opinion only. Let Tom do it...the EZCCS guy.

Nope

I "are" not "LCA".

And the rest of your post is incorrect too.

I don't ever pre-flight my IPad. Are we supposed to do that?

If you ever get line checked by a geeky fed you'll want to make sure everything is up to date. Its not hard to do and you can find the procedure in the iLog.

It is NOT my job to teach anything iPad but I do run through that with the guys if they haven't seen it.

OK, I give up. What is an iLOG? Also, why hasn't my WSI worked in over 2 years?

Preflight an IPAD? Battery charged?

I am sure there was a bulletin 14.74 months ago that i was supposed to memorize, or was it a CCS message that I quickly deleted so I could check open time?

Our current flight department is FUBAR. I think both legacy flight departments were much better.
