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 navigation and flight information (paper charts, flight plans, clearances), ensure devices have adequate cooling and power, and keep all cyclical data current.
• Do not passively depend on electronic gadgets; actively configure, use, and practice with them to maximize their benefits for critical tasks.
• Mount devices safely to avoid obstructing instruments or posing a hazard in turbulence, and never let them distract from the primary task of flying the aircraft.
