The review is exactly what I was looking for - thanks!
What are fellow pilot's favorite iPad Mini 6 kneeboards? Great video review, thank you for putting this together!
Really want to like the mini but the larger iPad works for me so I don’t have to zoom so much. Pencil upgrade is key
The big question is what is the best knee board for the new device not the specs of the iPad which most people can find on the web. Many of the existing knee boards have been designed for the old mini which connects to the kneeboard where there was no touch area ( bottom and top ). Those areas have now gone. I notice that you are just using a standard case which is really not going to cut it in a busy cockpit. What is the kneeboard option that people are using?
did you get ahrs on the ipad mini with internal gps or with something else?
Good luck on getting your PPL. Forflight is good to have loaded with your flight plan all set but don’t use it unless you really have to when doing your solo’s for licence. Try to navigate yourself using the Sectional chart and landmarks as much as you can so it will prepare you for your check ride.
Thanks! I only use it for logbook and keep it in the back seat of the plane. Will use it more after I pass my check ride.
I got my iPad mini after I passed my checkride last Wednesday. I’m still trying to figure out how ForeFlight works lmao
What app are you using for the pencil checklist?
If you have mobile Hotspot on your cellphone can you connect the wifi only version, save a few hundred dollars and gonwith wifi only and still have the same functionality?
What case is that?? I’m having a hard time finding a case that holds the pencil
May I ask which mini6 exactly will work onboard with no glitches, WiFi one or WiFi+celluler ?
I received an iPad Air, 5th generation, 256, Wi-Fi & cellular for xmas, and wanted to know your thought between that ipad and the iPad mini, and also your thought on using it for flying. I have been using an older full size ipad now for flying and not sure if i should go to the mini or just stay with the slightly larger one. I do use the ipad for everything, work, pleasure, etc, and not just for flying, so to keep that in thought with opinion. Really appreciate your thoughts on this, Thanks Mike.
A few friends of mine use an iPad Air and like the larger screen size. If I could permanently mount it, I’d go for larger screen size. Since I am mounting it, I like the size of the mini better.
Sorry for the delayed response.
Hi, great video! What Cover do you use? I mean the one where the Apple Pencil fits in as well.
Check out my iPad mini cases review. I go over several cases including this one.
How do you bind it to your leg alike in the videos? Or did I miss something?
I’m a student of Chris’ and randomly came across this video. He actually dropped me off to buy my plane in Anchorage when he picked you up.
No wayyy
@@MillionAirMindSet32 you’re right. I made that up. Total fabrication. You’re right, no wayyy at all.
@@New2Me170B man if you made it up or not it would be cool to meet him
@@MillionAirMindSet32 I didn’t make it up. I thought you were being sarcastic. Haha.
👍😎 Great review, thank you. How does the iPad mini w/A15 perform temperature wise? Does it overheat like earlier versions?
I haven’t had it overheat or feel hot but I also haven’t had it in any really hot climates yet. It’s never even warm to the touch.
I feel this is one of the most important topics for iPad mini use in the cockpit. I use the mini-4 and overheating can become the biggest safety concern when becomming more and more dependent on iPad use in the cockpit (e.g. copying ATIS, IFR flight plan filing, amending, etc.). There are no good third party case options that address this issue well. I've had instances where I'm on the ramp, under the wing trying to cool off my iPad so I could get my IFR flight plan filed. To all GA pilots, be careful in hot weather! IpAD dependency can become a safety inflight issue if you become too dependent on it!!
Do people get the ipad with cellular? I want my foreflight to be able to track my location while in flight and im not sure if the wifi only does that. Any experiences??
I have the same question! I wonder if I could buy the Wi-Fi version and then use my hotspot? Also if you go for the cellular you don’t have to activate the data plan!
What is the brand of shirt your wearing?
TravisMathew...their Open to Close pants are awesomely comfortable.
Hi,,,i am from Bangladesh and want to know ipad air 4 or mini 6 ; which will be better for cessna and atr 72-600?
The 6 will be better
So what about the guys that don't like Apple products I've yet to find a comparable flight aid. Any ideas?
I’d love ForeFlight on Android.
Is cellular required for foreflight on the mini 6?
Wi-Fi only models do not have a GPS radio since it comes integrated with the cellular chipset. Foreflight will work but you won't get a precise position on the map. As an option, instead of having a cellular enabled iPad, you could buy a Sentry device. It's more money but you also get ADB-S and carbon monoxide monitor in the same device. One advantage of having the cellular chipset (and a data plan) is that you can refresh your weather data on the go.
@@josephs3973or connect you hotspot
Is 64gb of storage is enough for foreflight and others "pilot student stuff"? Or it's a better choice to buy 256gb?
64gb is plenty thats what i use
@@10oner Is cellular required, or a wifi version is enough for forflight?
@@ZINC1440 wifi is good bc if you connect to your phones hot spot especially a 5g and a iphone12 serise you’ll get gpa and good connection
@@Fo4assaultriflefan92 wait really?
Samsung has been doing the volume button orientation switch for ages - another example of Apple being late to the game :)
Do you recommend the cellular model or just wifi?
You’ll probably want the cellular model, so you have the internal gps (otherwise you’ll need to get an external gps), but you don’t need to activate the service.
@@emikennedy8826 I don’t need a SIM card right to use the GPS?
@@LordBagdanoff correct, without a sim you won’t have cellular activity but you have GPS, and that’s key
@@JazNBlue so we do not need to get any external gps antenna or sth right? We can have gps just having an iPad mini am I correct?
@@CeyhunRahmanCakroglu cellular IPad has GPS installed. If you do not have a cellular IPad, you would need an external gps system.
