Thank you for your interest in PaperlessCockpit.com’s iPad Rapid Decompression Testing project.
Even though you chose not to donate money to the project today, you can still help. If you are a Designated Engineering Representative (DER), operate a certified testing facility, or would simply like to help spread the word about our efforts, please express your interest in an email to editor@paperlesscockpit.com.
Our goal is to raise $2,500 to cover testing costs. This money will go specifically go to:
- Purchase of the “test article” (an iPad2)
- Performance of DO-160 Rapid Decompression Testing by a reputable, certified testing facility
- Official copy of the complete Test Report and resulting Certificate of Conformity
- Evaluation and sign-off of the testing procedure by an FAA Designated Engineering Representative (DER)
- Celebratory pizza and beer for donors at the next NBAA Annual Meeting and Convention (recommended minimum $10 donation if you plan to attend – seriously, you should a least cover the cost of your own pizza and beer).
Everyone who donates to the project will receive an electronic copy of the test certification, which you can load into iBooks and happily show to the FAA next time your ramp-checked.
If you have any questions about the testing procedures, or would like to volunteer your services (other than helping dispose of pizza and beer), please send an email to editor@paperlesscockpit.com.
