redozbris Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I thought I would pose a question to everyone out there not just us students, 'What is in your flight bag?' what do you take with you for just a day in circuits, a day out within 50nm, and a day over the horizon (or several!) I'll start the ball rolling 1. My Trusty flight bag (Jeppensen Aviator Bag, thanks to my loving wife) 2. Torch 3. ERSA 4. All My Maps and a Map Holder, which in turn protects my Log book (VNC,VTC etc PCA, I was doing a theroy course and I though even though I am not near this stage yet, keeping at least one current map handy doesnt hurt, WAC's etc etc) 5. Various Pens and Pencils and other stationary.. 6. Note Books 7. My headset 8. My Icom Handheld 9. Whatever Text Book I am currently reading 10. Ipad and Charger 11. E6B and Nav Equipment (again for a training course I completed earlier this year) 12. Clipboard 13. POH for my Tecnam 14. Water bottle and snack food hidden away... 15. My license Holder (GA and RA) 16. Some airsick Bags, never know. 17. Fuel Sampler 18. red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foto_Flyer Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Went to a CASA safety seminar 2 weeks ago at Archerfield and was told by the facilitator from CASA that for private pilot operations, including RA, the use of an iPad as an electronic flight bag is approved so long as all the data you need such as charts, flight plan and weather (NAIPS), ERSA, etc. are saved on the iPad (i.e. not reliant on an internet conection). OzRunways was mentioned as a particularly good app for this (he did caution that the GPS/moving map was not to be used as a PFD for in flight navigation). He suggested this was especially good news for pilots of small sports aircraft due to limited space. So going down this route may save a bit of space in the flight bag for a few more Mars bars! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redozbris Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 I was wondering if they where ever going to allow this, The only real problem is that maps dont need batteries :) But a handy option for small jaunts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how that for VFR flying they will allow an Ipad as the primary means for carrying navigational charts, yet won't let IFR pilots use them as a back up!

djpacro Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You will find clues to what CASA allows (or will allow) and why in the new draft Part 91 rules. I've been told that there will be a CAAP on this subject soon so all will be revealed. I plug my iPhone into the aeroplane power and also have a back-up battery for it. My main risk is dropping it and not being able to reach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
