Regulations 14 CFR Part 91. 21 - Portable electronic devices (PEDs) ● This applies only to air carriers and IFR flights (91. 21(a)(1) and(2)) ● Covers almost all electronic devices–not just EFBs ● 91. 21(a) does not apply if operator determines that the PED won’t interfere with the navigation or communication systems (91. 21(b)(5)) ● The determination may be made by the PIC or operator of the aircraft (91. 21(c))
Regulations AC 91 -21 -1 D (Oct 2017), Use of Portable Electronic Devices Aboard Aircraft ● This Advisory Circular is a complement to 14 CFR 91. 21 ● It reinforces that the PIC can make the determination (meaning the renter-pilot if it’s a non-owned aircraft), “without the need for sophisticated testing equipment. ” ● You can self-certify that your airplane is not adversely affected by the i. Pad.
Regulations AC 91 -78 (Jul 2007), Use of Class 1 or Class 2 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) IMPORTANT: This is the advisory circular that states it’s legal for FAA Part 91 GA piston aircraft pilots to use the i. Pad with current data as a paper chart replacement. > Aimed at Part 91 operators, VFR or IFR > EFBs can be used in all phases of flight in lieu of paper when: - The EFB is the functional equivalent of the paper material The EFB data is current and valid The EFB app meets the AC 120 -76 D definition/limitations of a Type A (precomposed information) or Type B (interactive) application. > A backup data source is suggested, but is not required. Note that this backup can be another electronic device. > Users should undergo an evaluation period to make sure they know how to use the EFB before eliminating paper charts.
Regulations AC 120 -76 D, Guidelines for the Certification, Airworthiness and Operational Use of Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) IMPORTANT: This advisory circular does not apply to FAA Part 91 GA piston aircraft operations, but should still be referenced as guidance when using the i. Pad as a paper chart replacement. Pilots flying large, turbine multiengine aircraft (FAA Part 91 F) must adhere to the EFB testing and documentation requirements listed in this Advisory Circular, but DO NOT need FAA approval before using an EFB as the sole source of charts and aviation data in the cockpit. “Aircraft operated under part 91, except for parts 91 F and 91 K, require no EFB authorization or compliance with this AC, provided the EFB does not replace any equipment or operating information required by the regulations. ” This is the line that shows most general aviation pilots are not affected by this AC. http: //ipadpilotnews. com/2016/02/ipad-legal-briefing-pilots-need-know-2/
