The iPad itself as an EFB isn't completely terrible. You can turn the FLIP on night mode and it isn't bright at all. Works fine on NVGs. I would love to see a program like this on the iPad but AMC has enough trouble just keeping up with far superior programs like Foreflight. I think if the biggest problem is having to switch between one app for pubs and one for plates, then were doing pretty good all things considered. Still better than having to pull out a pub, find what your looking for, and have an approach plate open. The technology to use facetime etc is being toyed around with at AMC already. They like the idea of wifi updates, facetime with maint home-station to help solve issues. If it were me I would pursue the iPad venue regardless because I doubt AMC is going to change at this point.
