Lots of answers.

iPad is NOT primary navigation tool by any means. Flightdeck is paperless now. Charts are on the iPads, manuals on iPad, weather also and with coming wifi updated realtime weather instead of stale charts at flight ops whichbecome twelve hours old prior to landing on long hauls.

So everything that was paper is now iPad. Nice to have a bonus of a GPS which allows the aircraft position to be overplayed on the aviation charts and wifi.

The nav system of the aircraft consisting of two GPS, two FMC'S and etc plus the FMC computers for route loading.

Yes, dm42 arrived in mail the day I left (Thursday) and I have not upgraded the firmware et.

Cheese was good and I am going to make a plastic base with Velcro for the 29E. I will use the window clipboard to hold it in position.



See the following for HP calc usage on the flight deck:

Not required but fun to have and some routines augment the flight deck duties nicely. The DM 42 will receive all my 41 and 42 routines relating to work. That is why I wanted it to have dynamic time functions (ala 41c) and print capability. No GPS but that is okay.
