What are your "real standards" for kneeboard mounts, which one of the five do you think actually meet your standard, and what others do you think belong on this list? James:

Only one of these is even ok by any real standard. You've left out the top 5 BEST kneeboards for 5 of the first to hit the market. That's a weak review of a concept pilots are eating up hand over fist. Maybe you'll consider updating this with 5 kneeboards that are actually selling real numbers. Top 5 kneeboards eh?

Of course the Advisory Circulars and FAA handbook detail the preferred method the Inspector SHOULD follow to mitigate EFB risks, buy this guidance is just policy or Best Practices, and is not necessarily regulatory.

Our company (part 135) already uses the ipad 2 for jepps and since I already own an first gen, i didnt upgrade. But you are saying as long as our POI says its ok to use, thats sufficient enough?

The Fujtsus were adopted in an earlier era befor the FAA has any idea what EFBs are and how they are used. On the other hand, the military did high altitude testing and EMI testing on several generations of the Fujitsu.

Even the best high fight displays was out at certain angled in direct sunlight. The iPad display is great because you can overcome glare with a minor adjustment in most cases, rather than trying to reposition the device.

It comes down to the PIC / operator to authorize the use, or the POI in case of 135 and 121 operators. RD testing and EMI testing is really about ensuring that the device doesn't present a hazard, rather than approving the device as a navigation aid.

The iPad is nice, "pretty", sturdy but there are better business alternatives in my view - it's a highly limited machine from an operations and business perspective: - no direct external or expandable storage (e.g USB or SD) - not able to directly link to a larger screen for presentations - can't swap a fresh battery in when it's exhausted - can't display the ubiquitous flash player used on most web sites(!) - also not sure if it has handwriting recognition either? I'd like to be pointed to some Android and Windows alternatives that can be used in cockpit, if there are any? I’d be interested in learning about the alternatives to iPad solutions in this area.
