Gadget Flight Rules
Great article on cockpit gadgets (“Gadget Flight Rules,” February 2013) and I especially like “GFR”— I think that might stick. Could you please share the details of the mounting device you’re using for the iPad in the photo on page 19?Thanks!
Key Takeaways:
- The article responds to reader inquiries about cockpit gadgets, recommending RAM mounts for their modularity and clarifying the legality of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) in small aircraft: generally permissible under VFR Part 91, but prohibited for air carriers or IFR, with the PIC determining interference for non-commercial IFR.
- A reader emphasizes that the most critical pre-flight mistake is the complete omission of a pre-flight inspection, underscoring its foundational importance.
- The publication corrects a previous error, stating that aircraft without lights must be on the ground by sunset, as mandated by FAR 91.209, rather than the end of civil twilight.
