What iPad Apps Do Pilots Use?Īt the company I fly for we have just been approved for the use of the iPad for storing and distributing our company memos, manuals, policies, and charts on an iPad and it is fantastic. As they have proven to be very reliable companies can apply to have electronic flight bags instead of carrying around a huge case of charts, paperwork, manuals, and the like. Over the last 10 years, the addition of apps for the iPad has created an incredibly handy tool for any pilot to have in their cockpit. Additional apps for weight & balance, weather, flight planning, scheduling, and navigation make the iPad a very compact and powerful tool. IPads allow the pilot’s paperwork, aeronautical charts, and company memo’s to be stored digitally, thus saving the space needed to be carried in the cockpit. Many a time I have been walking onto a plane and seen an iPad stuck to the pilot’s side window or mounted just to the side of the main instrument panel, but what do they use them for? Surely they don’t watch movies when in cruise flight!
