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, clearances) and ensure electronic devices have adequate power and cooling to prevent overheating.
  • Maintain current charting and airport data on your devices, but avoid installing major operating system or app updates right before a multi-day trip.
  • Do not solely depend on your gadgets; practice their use, mount them safely without obstruction, and always prioritize flying the aircraft.
