We keep an updated Garmin 295 in our Skyhawk along with paper sectionals,
Low-Altitude Enroute charts, and plates. I use the AOPA flight planner and
TripPack on my laptop to print plates for trips outside the local area not
covered by my plate subscription. I don't see a time when paper goes
completely away, at least as a real-time backup.

For in-flight diverts, I find that I can page through a bound book of plates
much faster than I can jiggle the menus and buttons on the 295, so until
voice recognition is inexpensively available and the equipment & its power
supplies are totally reliable, redundant, and fail-safe, paper will have a
place in my airborne environment.

I would like to know, how many of us, pilots are using the current
technology out there to our benifit. I'm talking about GPS, E-Flight
Bag, E-Aviation Charts. How long do you think before paper-less
cockpits become the standard?
