I would not want to, but I would in the event of complete failure. It's not like you have to feel embarrassed when are are meeting the regs and need assistance due to equipment failures , that's why we pay those guys! That said, what is the real probability of BOTH an iPad and a 496, each with hard wire power and internal battery, failing? I'd say significantly less that 1 in 1000. In the event of a GPS satellite outage, I can still use the iPad to look at charts and it will have my approximate last known position still in it.MovingOn wrote:Two or three sectionals probably weigh less than an ounce or two. I would never want to call ATC and ask for vectors because I don't have a workable chart, either electronic or paper.
I'm comfortable with the level of redundancy I have.
