Re: The proper way to mount your ipad

This individual used to be my First Officer on the A300 and there was never (ever) a dull moment.

While he likes to come off as a hick from Bangor Maine, he graduated at the top of his class at the United States Naval Academy, has an astronomically high IQ, and is a superb pilot.

After a three day trip with him years ago, I sent flowers to his wife with my condolences of what she must put up with on a daily basis.

That was good. Even my wife laughed, then mused at how a 777 might disappear into the ocean while the captain is licking windows.

The few AA cockpits I've been in lately had the ram tab-tight holder bolted to the side of the cockpit. No suction mount.

I trialled a suction mount on a SuperPuma ferry across the Sahara, and it left a nice perfect doughnut shaped deformity in the plastic windshield.

I'm too busy pimping Troy's book to be making RAM mount documentaries, but you can see my securely mounted iPad just behind me.

Okay...my sides hurt...I would love to fly with him. I love the sanitization effort at the start...but boy is it downhill from there!

And MAU MAU...thank you. I don't think I pay you enough. How about we double your retainer from here on out?

Re: The proper way to mount your ipad

That's funny! Interesting they went with the suction cups. Supposedly the Feds said that we couldn't because it would interfere with the window shades. So they are bolting the mount to the window frame. I'm hoping that it is the Ram Tab Tite. They are good mounts and what I use in my plane.
