What a great idea! I have a tablet that I use in my day to day work. I
never thought of yoke mounting it!

How did you go about mounting it? What tablet do you have?

Hi all..


just upgraded my excellent Jepp flitestar IFR to flitemap (very good

deal it
was too ! )

I bought a new laptop which prompted this , the very small Sony TR1MP...
Im very impressed with the software indeed, but one question to those

who
have Flitemap..

where do you put your laptop , so you can use it? - is it actually

usable in
flight, or do you really someone in the right hand seat to be using it?
Given that my laptop is small , the coaming would be the obvious, but

even
that would restrict the view


Any answers appreciated..its a great bit of kit!

I got a tablet, removed the battery, reduced the weight to 1 lb and yoke
mounted it.

Laptops are far too large for aircraft use. Referencing the map or plates
is going to require turning your head a lot, and the laptop might start
moving.
