Which Tablet Is Right For You

[@scottstoll-dn2yx]

I'm an app developer, and every app developer I know uses Android, not Apple. Some use a MacBook for work, but personal devices are almost exclusively Android. This is in part because Apple traps people in the little Apple world in ways that make it very hard to escape, selection for apps is very limited, and then they charge you through the nose for it. Plus Apple has their own, proprietary ways of doing things with developers that are notorious for being unnecessarily difficult, and often nonsensical. They even rejected an app for a newspaper because they said it was stealing content... from the newspaper's site. This is with the name of the newspaper in huge font at the top of the app! No Apple here. I only own them because I have to use them for work, and they sit in the closet, otherwise.

I use a Samsung phone and watch without any issues for general (non aviation) use. Now that I'm working on my Private Pilot's license (and beyond), I'm getting a tablet. Theres really no need for me to switch to Apple other than for flying. The Aviation industry settled on Apple as the Gold standard a while ago. I honestly don't know any pilots not using Apple for their EFB . Being Pro Android, What do you use or recommend that would support and EFB such as Garmin Pilot? Nobody here has mentioned anything Android yet. Thx

I like to fly with my IPad 10.5 inch screen on my right leg (kneeboard style). I am left handed so my notepad Tri-fold kneeboard is on my left leg and my IPad is on my right leg. I like the bigger screen to give me a good view that I am able to see especially approach plates. I do recommend strapping the IPad to your leg so it doesn't move on you and stay secure. I have tried the window mounts but they are bulky and give me bind spots where I cannot see outside. I fly C172XP / C172 mostly.

I remember back in the day Jason would fly the airplane in the videos....living the Cirrus life now.

[@Aerialphotovito]

I use a Mini 6 in my Sundowner on a suction cup mount does not take up a lot of space , and I too also use paper for notes .

[@lucky_one2]

Mini 6...primarily on knee board (SR22)...but will use a suction mount in the Lindberg reference in CAP aircraft. Trying to be less dependent on the iPad and use more of the planes capabilities recently. I have to say that has reduced my distractions and improved my workload.

[@STDario21]

Yes the cockpit space is very important in the moment to chose an iPad , in my case I use the mini 6 256gb and foreflight , all in conjunction is a really good tool for flight.

[@jewlzpdx9878]

I’m currently working towards my private pilot license almost at my first solo in a Cessna 172 and I have the iPad 10th gen using a iPad knee board

[@Warkip]

I was thinking about getting an ipad mini, but they are so incredibly expensive i ended up just upgrading my phone from a iphone se (tiny screen) to a iphone 13 and use that with skydemon, works like a charm

[@karlfruecht7258]

Jason - Need a class on turbulance. It's everywhere and can affect your confidence. How should a pilot address confidence?

[@randalldevalcourt4000]

I use a mini 4, but just got a notification from ForeFlight that they will stop supporting that model along with some older iphones. Will go back with a mini 6. A short video on that notification from ForeFlight would be great. Thanks!

[@drcode4]

Hi Jason, I started with the mini, which I liked, but moved up to the 9" pro and I like it better, but it does take up a lot more room in the 172 I fly.

[@abacojack13]

I missed 1/2 of the webinar this afternoon. Will you be posting the entire thing here on KZbin..?

[@toonybrain]

IPad Pro 9” for me as well. Perfect size. I like to see my charts on Foreflight.

[@junetebarts1334]

It's a tough one. I need the bigger iPad for my eyes, but I fly different planes, some with sticks (where anything on your leg gets in the way) and C172s. Suggestions? I also don't like blocking my view in the window.

[@river_peak]

is there any difference with foreflight between android and ipad tablet?

[@gabestorm7150]

Wow, making a commercial on an aircraft that is very fast, hands off the stick and not watching for traffic, good job guys, the FAA,needs to watch you. As a pilot myself I just had to cut off the video, I had chills of fear.

[@Linn5602G]

First thing I noticed too...

[@gveduccio]

my family is all Android including the kids...except for flying I just upgraded my ipad I been using with ForeFlight for years with the 9th gen 10.2 wifi only to work with whatever is in the dash of the planes I fly or the Stratus in my C150...screen is big but as I get closer to 50 it is nice to have a bigger screen...recently doing CFI training my instructor was using ForeFlight on his phone to look at storm cells...I said your controls I am getting the ipad out...

[@DeanPhillips-jk5fy]

Am I the only one who has never heard of a 9” iPad Pro? I am only aware of an 11” and 12.9”.

[@FernvalleyFarm]

Hey jason vince from chicago rember we talked at aoskosh the only reason i have an i pad is for fore flight im totaly an android person have no use ffor apple LOL im with magda i use the i pad mini love fore flight.

[@spencermackel7800]

I would personally avoid using suction mounts in the Cirrus. Regardless of the suction quality, long term use of a mount will develop a ring on the interior of the windscreen and is not cheap to repair.

[@Tushka154]

I’m an iPad Mini 6 user and I never felt I needed anything bigger (especially as I’m only flying C152 and C172) - my backup is my iPhone and a printed 1:500 000 map. I’m looking for suggestions on a good kneeboard mount though as I use the thing for content consumption as well - currently I just have it unsecured on my lap during flight 😬

[@hansfm2032]

I fly the "iPad" Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8". Performance is not more than acceptable indeed but the combination of size, weight, reliability, build quality and display brightness, resolution and contrast is actually unsurpassed. If it would only have a slightly more modern SoC..

[@DayaMcCarthy]

Do you run into challenges when it comes to downloading apps such foreflight?

[@hansfm2032]

@@DayaMcCarthy Foreflight is an Apple-only app, I think, so that will not work. SkyDemon works well and EasyVFR and apparently Garmin Pilot are available though.

[@DNModels]

King school successors? :)

[@marsgal42]

I fly with an iPad mini on a yoke mount.

[@novartec]

i use a Ipad Mini with foreflight

[@Starlight_glimmer04]

I’m planning to use iPad Air, anyone can give me some suggestions if it’s good to put it on my knee?

[@barrysherman1162]

Good introduction to type of tablets, but you forgot the important options; cellular or wifi! Is it better to use the onboard GPS (cellular) or connect to another GPS source? Great video, it's easy to tell that you both love what you do.

[@marsgal42]

Personal choice. My iPad mini has GPS/cellular but I use an external GPS (Bad Elf) in the air. The cellular data is handy for weather updates and such.

[@flysport_tedder]

of course Jason loved his blackberry 😄

[@Ruger41mag]

mini

[@josephkaminski1857]

totally useless video. Not a single thing useful. He uses I pad pro, she uses I pad mini, there has to be 20 Ipad pros and 30 Ipad minis. . No version described or compared. Nothing. the video first picture shows all these pads as if they are going to talk about them. Clck bait waste of time.

[@Harlanb2002]

How come Magda didn't get to talk much? Jason kept cutting her off.

[@colostomybag9367]

One of my friends flight instructs in pipers with the big iPad Pro. It hast to be hitting the yoke all the time.
