Curious what your experience has been re power and bad weather. The reasoning behind using an iPad as opposed to a purpose built plotter is that the iPad will be aboard regardless. It’s the plotter that is the extra piece. Again, keep in mind this is assuming a waterproof iPad case and mount similar to what you would put a chart plotter into. I’m just not certain how much of the broken iPad horror stories are with real mounts as opposed to it just sitting out in the cockpit ( or how much this is Raytheon really doesn’t want to compete with Apple).
