Ipad doesn't mean paperless !

[sdflyer]

So according AC 91.78 Your Ipad should be accompanied either by paper copies or another fully charged Ipad. Otherwise, you are not legal.

More about it on page 21

So the button line is flying with Ipad is more expensive since it doesn't void paper charts (unless sure you have another fully charged ipad.)

I heard from someone the other day that you can get dinged for having out of date charts in the plane but not if you have no charts in the plane. Huh?

What if you have an out of date chart in addition to a current and charged iPad

I suggest you direct that misinformed person to read this FAA link on the subject:
