The screen is made of glass. Unless you're using diamonds in your cockpit you should probably be safe. I've never had a screen protector on a phone or tablet and I've never had a scratch since phones screens went to glass over a decade ago. I just put the iPad in a backpack and it's good to go.

Your scenario is probably equally true. The thread is about flying without paper though. I feel like the old guy would just go flying without the charts. As a matter of fact, I know old guys who can still make a plane go places without moving maps and ipads.

If you had no chart it's ok to cancel. My scenario has the genZ pilot with any combination of TACs and sectionals and they still wouldn't fly.

I would say 90% of pilots in training today would cancel their flight if their iPad was dead and all they had was a paper map to reference. The need the moving map because they have only known it that way.

The general tax paying public doesn't care how much an fbo charges wealthy pilots. Don't forget you I your little cessna are far and away in a better position than the general tax payer in this country. You don't like the price, don't pay it. Just don't act like tax payers even care

Not so fast. It's not as easy to get hired as it was the same time last year. Make sure you know exactly where the industry is and then throw away all that you know about the industry. Things are changing every day. Just do your research before jumping in.

It's just a Citation X sitting on its tail from snow accumulation on the horizontal. Not the first CE750 to flop on its tail, won't be the last. Not photo shopped at all.

Left at 10 am today. Very busy FBO but there wasn't any kind of gate hold or "call for engine start". It was a very pleasant experience all things considered. I expected madness.

If I'm in the left seat and I'm making all the decisions, I'm logging PIC regardless of the paperwork.

I know who goes to the event. I fly the planes to Miami, Monaco, Spa, Austin. I've seen it and lived it.

If they didn't hit you with a fee, we would just fly in and out all day and do drops. That's a lot of movement to cover with the extra workers amd equipment they'll have to truck in. Gotta cover that cost somehow. Supply and demand seems like it's in full effect. They are just lucky they...

I think 3,000 is too cheap. I say charge 10k for these bozos to land. They are still going to go and write the whole thing off. Might as well make as much as you can off of them. I'm going to be flying in for the race so I have a dog in the fight. Maybe if they charged 50,000 to land I might...

Ground breaking stuff again from Cupertino. Wouldn't expect anything less.

You have to pay for ice in Europe. No way they would let you look at the charts for fee.

Holy hell, that looks fantastic. Well taken care of.

Looks like the first day you brought it home from the dealer. it still has that goofy shipping protector on the air dam. If my wife left that on her car I certainly wouldn't wash it.

I'm all for bringing back ashtrays and cigarette lighters. The reason children require tablets and phones on long drives now is because we don't have cigarette lighters to push in and wait to pop out anymore.

Well the deal is that you don't need a water bottle. What do you think they did in the 1950s before the invention of cups and bottles? There's a reason those small airplanes don't have what your looking for, it's not necessary.

rATP doesn't mean anything outside of the airlines. Especially corporate in the corporate world. Corporate usually requires ATP but some jobs could be acquired with just a commercial. Corporate is a tough nut to crack though. It more about who you know.

You should give some good tequila a try. All those you listed have sugars added to improve their flavor.
