Hello
Does anyone have any serious suggestions concerning iPad EFB introduction and / or mounting for a Beech 1900?
I am looking to go completely paperless, and incorporate a flight following aspect with two way text capability as well.
This is my first pitch, so help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Similar to the above. My outfit is considering mounts for the B200 and C560 for going paperless using iPADs.

On our C560, we use a ram mount attached to the each side of the dash rather than on the controls. IE on the FO's side it's directly clipped on the dash above the battery temperature gauge and the ipad is kinda in the bottom right corner of the FO's front window. It's pretty much a perfect location - doesn't obstruct the view of any instrument (we have lead-acid so the battery temp gauge is ornamental). We use a piece of cloth between the ram mount and the dash so it doesn't dig in too bad. Works great.

Sulako, are you approved for paperless? Are the Ram mounts approved? If you're approved. I'm guessing that you have a hook-up for power to each unit?

We have 2 AC outlets in the cockpit for power. That's the biggest obstacle - the wiring took a few days and the STC on the 560 cost 13k (!). But while we had that done we added a couple of AC outlets in the back for the pax to plug their iPhones / laptops in as well, to help justify the cost.

We use the iPad 2 - as part of the approval process you need to demonstrate that the ipad can withstand rapid decompression. Fortunately for us, the Kaboom project did exactly that, and got FAA approval, then made the certificates downloadable for free. TC will accept the FAA certificates. Link to iPad2 certs here: http://www.paperlesscockpit.com/projects/ipad2/

paperlesscockpit.com has some really good stuff that's transferable over to TC btw.

Any issue with the Ram mounts not being permanent?

The employer I am on leave from(large YYC oil company) is going paperless with the IPad. Transport had issues with the mounting hardware. They are presently getting an STC for a mount to replace the side mount approach plate holder on the CL65 series aircraft.
They didn't require ac 110 but the requirement for a spare IPad came up. Last I heard they were awaiting final approval.

I would Google "iPad Kneeboard Sport" and forget about those Ram mounts things for the time being.
