It'd be nice. Fltplan Go is good but I need a lil more
Some of these companies need to talk to the FPV drone world on augmented reality vision and other things these apps can deliver. Those guys have to build visualization displays that work with human factors because it’s the only way for them.

It’s pretty amazing what they’ve managed to demo and not with a cool animated video but a live demonstration where we injected stress questions.

If you’re looking down at a tablet or a dial/screen right now to see ADS-B or instrumentation/navigation, you should be upset.

EVS/SVS ftw! Still need a nice free app though
 
Both Garmin Pilot and Foreflight have gone to “dynamic charting” for approach plates, so I’m not sure of the super long term prospects for any printed format.

10 years? 15?

We've seem the same thing in land based mapping for SAR and things like hunting and hiking. It's way more efficient to the mission to dynamically generate the information layers you need at that moment and the level of zoom detail you want.

As much as people knock Lido charts (and they totally should), the concept of just embedding the approaches in the bigger picture isn't really a bad one.

NGA has flat ceased producing any new paper charts. That’s where all DOD Flip (our version of Jepp) come from. Everything is now cloud based.

That’s one of the things that’s got some of us in the know screaming at our acquisitions people how critical it is we get on the digital tablet boat. Somehow “operate legally” doesn’t mean much to the bean counter people in the Pentagon.

Are any tablet devices you’re using at least somehow ‘hardened’?

In my weird science fiction brain, I figure if things got aggressive with the east, anything electronic built in Asia probably has a built-in killswitch — much like buying a used “black market” cellphone in the Middle East last year.

Supply chain strategies are part of the DOD acquisition requirements.

What is a problem is the use of personal devices not sourced through proper channels. Government is providing Samsung tablets as a program of record…. Meanwhile Peter Pilot is bringing their personal IPad with ForeFlight Milbag they purchased and dropping their flight plan into it…

judging by the design we're in 1997 but that's progress at least https://www.aidu.mod.uk/aip/

Wait so NOS charts are over? That isn’t gonna go real well for some of us when the current charts/plates expire here pretty soon. We can’t all fly with tablets (from a security standpoint). We have them, and they have been revoked retroactively.

Everything is going to/gone to the cloud, so the ability to have the chart made is now on you from a capability/capacity standpoint.

They’ve been slowly walking this way for a while and every time we would say something they just point at Map of the Workd like “there it is.”

It’s not so much the paper version, but I’d love an FAA app, vs a subscription, garmin, foreflight etc
