How other pilots display the same info is great.

I hope you can find AP button in your airplane.
You probably still trying to figure out how to set the VCR for recording

And that is another IT problem that is going to bite half of us. The IPAD nazis at United assume we are all APPLE geeks and having been playing with our iPhones and iPads for 7-9 years like they have. I ain't the bottom guy (for once) but half the pilots I fly with are somewhere around my level of IOS illiteracy. The other half can play Mozart on the thing. Some still use paper charts.
At some point somebody is going to figure out that half of us need some level of IOS proficiency.

Or it's time for most of you to retire already, and sit comfortably in front of your trusty Windows 95/98 machines and let hackers go over your tax returns.

I have my iPad set to auto display taxi pages upon 80 knots. 90+ % of the time it pops up just fine showing me exactly where I am. That's one way. IF its so low vis that SMIGS is needed, Stopping the airplane upon exiting the runway and onto a taxiway is prudent. That's just what I do, YMMV.

I'll bet you next months paycheck that you do not know how to properly preflight an iPad. I've yet to have a student come through who could.

Yeah I missed out on that basic function in iPad training. But if you want to have an advanced iPad function contest bring your pocket protector and your bow tie and lets RUMBLE!!

As far as updates...that should be automatic and out of view of the user.
My opinion only. Let Tom do it...the EZCCS guy.

What's wrong with paper? I've asked on 2 different PC's now, how am I supposed to fly an approach, land and taxi right away with a device I can only display 1 thing at a time?
Crickets, like no one else has every had that thought, every time they land Cat3 and need SMIGS, or an unfamiliar airport. 1 hand on the tiller, the other coming out of reverse. Use my nose to swipe pages??
Every time I get out a paper STAR, I get really weird stares from the copilot! Star on the clip board, Approach open in the Jepps book on the bag, iPad on the airport diagram. Simple, until they try to remove paper again.

If we had some really sharp people...the preflight of the iPad would entail entering your flight number and then letting the gee whiz technology do its thing. All info would propagate to the various apps and be readily available to the pilot.

If I was king lots of things would get changed.
