Pocket PC on the flight deck

John,

Option 3 sounds like it would work, except for this plan to work
effectively. It would have to be mounted and running at all times.


Some people think it foolish to venture into IMC without some kind of
back-up nav device running along independently of on-board systems. A
handheld GPS qualifies just as well as a running PocketPC/GPS system.

Point well taken. If you don't have it (B/U GPS, AI, etc.) out and running,
you could negate it's value reaching for, booting up, evaluate then ... you
get the point.

Like the guy who said his survival kit was what he had in his pockets.

Mine's in new paint can in the back compartment. I'm thinking about moving
it up closer for access.

If it isn't on you, it probably isn't going to make it out of the
aircraft with you. (Vietnam helo pilot advice)

I have a friend that has a MicroEFIS installed in his plane. It works
pretty nice. There is a little box he mounts on the dash that provides
attitude information. He has an IPAQ PPC mounted to the left side of this
instrument panel and that displays the AI. All of the wires are hidden
and the whole thing is powered from a cigarette lighter.
