PMA-281?I'm not sure if PMA-290 sources its EFBs through -2whatever that sources them for -299, but if so, I'm sure they're a poor substitute for what everyone else in the industry uses. But we've been down this rant-hole before.
PMA-281?
I got to see some "imminent" Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 models before leaving Pax, but still haven't seen them in the fleet.
What kind of batt life are you getting in terms of hours? Along those lines, how are they being used?We just got tablets. I love their terrible battery life.
It probably depends hugely on how bright you have the screen.What kind of batt life are you getting in terms of hours? Along those lines, how are they being used?
On my company iPad (not Navy), the quick-off virtual button on my screen, combined with the fingerprint sensor on the real button, save all kinds of battery life. The fingerprint sensor makes it a cinch to turn the thing on without looking at the screen to put in my PIN. That makes me more likely to turn the thing off more frequently, even if it's for only a couple minutes that I don't need it on. The virtual button saves fumbling with the real off button too.
Do you guys have a charging option in COMAIR? We're not required to have a plug, but are required to have the second unit onboard in order to meet OPSPECs.
The new CRJs we are getting from the factory have plugs in them. But that is a small portion of the fleet. Managing battery power is something think about on the long 5 leg days, but on two or 3 leg days it's no worries.
Captains are issued external battery packs for charging, but I rarely use it. I use my personal one occasionally though.
We are getting new iPad in a month or so. The fresh batteries should help out.
Sorry in advance...when I read this this is all I could think of...about 30 seconds in...The 737 has a plug behind the copilot's head.
I assume you guys use Foreflight for FAA pubs? What about flight manuals, TOs, etc? For non-FAA (AFMAN/AFI/etc) we use Goodreader.
Jeppesen is pretty much the standard for Part 121 carriers. Company stuff is in secure locker. Will be interesting to see how things change with Jepps buying Foreflight.I assume you guys use Foreflight for FAA pubs? What about flight manuals, TOs, etc? For non-FAA (AFMAN/AFI/etc) we use Goodreader.
