    An arrogant pilot? I've never heard of such a thing!

    He can do what he wants, but if there is an issue, they'll say he was not using approved equipment. So in the casual sense, what he is doing is not legal for approaches.

    I use the iPad with ForeFlight (and current charts) all the time, but if I'm flying an approach I'm looking at the needles in the panel, which are driven by the certified and tested Garmin 650 with current database cards installed and approved in the aircraft.

    I do occasionally set up and fly the approaches (in VFR conditions with a safety pilot) on the iPad, just to see if I can do it -- but it would be an emergency/equipment failure situation before I would choose to use them.
