Hi All,

My first post in these forums, I want know what kind of iPad I’ll need for skydemon to work? The one with cellular and WiFi or just cellular? Also when flying will I need internet access to my iPad when using skydemon?

During my PPL training I was taught to use chart and dead reckoning navigation, but now since I’ve passed my skills test I am looking to invest into sky demon for my navigation and situational awareness backed up by CAA 1:500:000 VFR chart.

Thanks for your input.

Is the iPad mini still considered the most practical for Skydemon - or is that advice very old??

In my view it's more about how you plan to physically use the iPad - will it be on a kneeboard (mini is probably better) or will you have it on a RAM mount that may/may not obscure other instruments on your panel.  I bought an iPad Air (10.9") and it's too large for a kneeboard, so am working on a RAM mounting - need to have it secure whichever way you use it given the number of accidents caused by devices jamming control sticks/rudder pedals in critical phases of flight
