Animosity2k Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 So I've been contemplating removing and selling my Aera 796 and replacing it with my iPad Pro. Currently I run the iPad on a mount on the window however it blocks a good part of my view. I haven't updated the Aera since it came with the plane in 2012 and ultimately rarely ever even look at it when flying as opposed to my iPad. I contemplated just sticking the iPad mount suction cup onto to the Aera but don't want to chance cracking the screen and ultimately see no reason to not get rid of it at that point. Anyone have any ideas on how I can go about maybe mounting this in the center section between my two skyviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Gee Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 There are several companies that make things like this. Might be an option. Would probably have to have the panel recut though. https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/ifdr-panel-mount-for-ipad-air-1-air-2-and-pro-9-7.html?utm_source=google_shopping&m=simple&&mrkgcl=596&mrkgadid=3052702985&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=iPad%2FiPhone%2FAndroid&adpos=1o1&creative=295428069982&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=Cj0KCQiA9dDwBRC9ARIsABbedBMDRsS8ekINy6AagOchCrVJLAFty8-sYMFq9tbNgHL8jAS1ep2m2KgaAu5BEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animosity2k Posted January 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Man thats awesome! lll reach out to my local avionics shop for ideas. My only fear is in a few years when the ipad gets larger Ill be forced to recut again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animosity2k Posted January 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I think I'm going to just try to suction the ipad to the Aera. I'd be willing to bet that glass is pretty strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
