Late run after a long two day work trip. Utterly exhausted and sore but for a change it's all from pushing the edge with training lately. Finally getting some groove into the running again. I've refused the e book thing for a long time. I love the feel of actual pages in my hands and somehow always feel better if I have a book or two always on me. This week we finished the test phase with the FAA to use ipads in the cockpit to replace all charts, maps, approaches, and the six flight manuals we carry. I've carried these things for 17 years. Cannot express how strange it is to not have charts all around me anymore. I'll hate to see the day books dissapear but it seems inevitable. |
