yeah, I've never been good at jihads. They remind me of the old line about what one gets when one squeezes an orange, and why.Gotcha. I wouldn't know because I'm not on a jihad against Apple like that guy.

Just an FYI. My tablet does not sit on my lap and does not block any instruments.Yes to the bold. I currently use one that is neither Apple, nor Android. Actually runs on Windows and fits IN my panel. Though they offer the Apple option as well for people that like having stuff on their lap or yoke - which I don't understand at all. You're IMC, looking down causes SD, but lets have something that sits on our lap, or better yet covers up instruments by clipping it to the yoke. Fly on, brainiacs!

Seems you are working on assumptions of what the world is like rather than what the world actually is like.
Which seems strange to me. Didn't you use paper approach charts without a panel moving map at some point? About the same size as a full-sized tablet with much the same kinds of placement options and issues. Didn't they sit on your lap or "better yet" cover up your instruments by clipping to the yoke? If not, why would a tablet be any different?
I used your photo, but in the Mooneys, Pipers, and Cessnas I've flown, it sits right about here and is tilted slightly upward, similar to the old-time yoke clips for approach plates. Mine is a full-size, those with a mini have even more options.
Sorry you need to actually see the radio transmit button. I just put my hand there and press. I didn't realize there were special needs issues involved. That, of course is very different.That should work great as long as I never have to make a radio transmission.

Really. If your beliefs are so strong, there is no reality that can convince you.
I used your photo and I don;t know if I can account for 99% of GA aircraft, but in the Mooney, Piper, and Cessna singles I've flown, it sits right about here and is tilted slightly upward, similar to the old-time yoke clips for approach plates. Mine is a full-size, those with a mini have even more options.
I guess that takes yours out of the 99% of all GA airplanes. One can't account for weird custom PTT placements. Just about all I've seen have the button on the back of the handle facing the glareshield where it can be pushed by the index finger while holding the yoke normally.I need to actually push it. The way that is mounted, I can't reach it, or the tablet will constantly be hitting it.
Oops! Sorry. I didn't realize you were insisting on a panel mount when there is no room in the panel for something. I didn't realize that, having failed on one tack you simply switched to another. As for me, if you folow the thread back, you'll see I was responding to:Did you guys actually look at the picture before saying 'oh just put it here' ? or read what I actually wrote? My guess is no.
I said where IN THE PANEL can I put it.
Were you two dropped on your heads as kids?
Me: "Hey guys, I want a high wing plane."
You two: "Get a Bonanza"
Might want to read your own discussion thread before suggesting others may have been dropped on their heads.EdFred; said:You're IMC, looking down causes SD, but lets have something that sits on our lap, or better yet covers up instruments by clipping it to the yoke.
That's a feature I've missed since my old G396; winds aloft forecast. In a slow plane, it's a big deal. I found the G396/XM forecast and display amazingly useful in the Maule. ADSB is catching up!And to make it more useful, with yesterday's update (version 6.7) they added a "wind barb" layer to the map, with selectable altitude....so now it will be really evident why your GS sucks

Yep. It's obviously trolling at this point.
I don't think it's an ADS-B function. If I read Scott's post correctly, it's the forecast information obtained during the weather briefing, just added by FF as an available layer.That's a feature I've missed since my old G396; winds aloft forecast.

Thanks for keeping up on the forum, actually this one I did know, but sometimes its difficult to get my finger over the right spot if there is any turbulence so I like to just use the big picture for reference.Yes and no. There's no way to do this directly using markers on the map. You have to tap on the ceiling (or vis) marker and the observation will be shown based on the flight category. For example, say the vis is in the IFR category and you are showing the ceiling markers. If the ceiling is showing a blue 12, you may tap on the 12 and you'll see the coded METAR will be in red (as dictated by the IFR category vis).
I think this misses the train the already left the station; mobile devices have, and will continue to have, superior applications over systems you can put in your panel. Why? For the simple reason that they can be cheaply and easily upgraded in ways that panel systems probably never will be.Yes to the bold. I currently use one that is neither Apple, nor Android.

And yes, I will spend 3-4x the money just to not deal with Apple or ForeFlight because they have lazy programmers.
Does Foreflight only show snow when on a cell signal ? I never see any snow when using Stratus just the occasional green blob of moisture.. Sound right ?

Mine actually slides in and out of a standard MFD cutout and is not "installed" so the certified, un-certified isn't an issue. It just looks like it is installed. The problem with every tablet out there is none of them fit nicely "in" the panel. Or if they do, they have crap for EFB software.
Would you mind stating which one you use? Maybe you did and I missed it. Curious.
I've been using these guys for like 6 years.

And the one in my panel is this one.

Ahhhhhh! I get it now. This is why Ed can't sell his Comanche! All those buyers are finding out during pre-buy that there is no ******* spot for their iPad!
