Connected Cockpits: Using Tablets in the Air

Professional pilots have very demanding roles that require time-critical access to an enormous amount of data from navigation charts, weather depiction, flight path, operational specs and other types of information. Traditionally, many of those needs, particularly with regard to navigation, flight path, and operation, were met with extremely dense, heavy sets of paper charts, plates, manuals and other large binders carried in large briefcases that could weigh as much as 35 pounds.
