Gadget Flight Rules

Carry a back-up for critical functions: either a second gadget configured like your primary one or-the horror!-actual paper. Print out the terminal procedures you expect to need. Include a copy of your flight plan. Write down your clearance, and any amendments. Maybe even a sectional chart?

Key Takeaways:

  • Always carry backups for critical flight information (e.g., paper charts, second device), ensure proper cooling and power for all gadgets, and keep navigational data current.
  • Practice using your electronic flight bag (EFB) for critical tasks, mount devices securely without obstructing instruments or posing hazards, and avoid software updates before important trips.
  • Do not over-rely on gadgets; they are aids, and your primary focus must always remain on flying the aircraft.
