It is absolutely essential to mention that only the cell version has the built in GPS! Many ppl have said that an external GPS is recommended for Foreflight but having the internal GPS handy is definitely a plus even if you don’t use cell service at all.

The best review ever. Short and straight to the point! Well done!

Yes, the device I have been waiting for and the video I have been waiting for! I can't wait to get one been holding out for it.

Dude I really hope you’re ok and doing well. Hope lockdown ends soon and I hope to see you back in the air! Great video and best wishes from me over in the UK. John

I use the IPad 5 and love it for my flying. I use it connected to the cockpit dashboard.

Thank you so much for this!

I’m a private pilot, studying IFR ground. I don’t have an ipad but have always been curious about flying with one.

My friend recommended the mini wifi only because he recommends an external gps, apple pencil and a yoke mount.

I was worried it would be too small and the charts would be hard to read but it looked pretty clear to me when you showed them in the video.

I think I’ll buy this one.

Thank you!

Great overview Stef! Mine came yesterday after upgrading from a mini 1 (yes 1..) and already loving it, can’t wait to see how it goes in the cockpit (and your videos when we’re able to fly again). I agree about the software, hopefully Apple can iron the bugs out soon and maybe stretch out the UI to better fit the mini. Quick tip for quick notes, if the screen is off then you can just tap and hold the pencil anywhere on the screen to start writing, not just from the corner (but the corner will work in apps too) in case it is a bit turbulent. Hopefully you can get back up in EYZ soon :)

Thank you so much for continuing to do what you can during your lockdown. You keep it fun. I use the generation five mini that I bought about three months back. I couldn’t wait for the six because I started flying and needed the EFB. I have an iPad Pro, but it was just too big for the cockpit. I’m going to keep the Generation five for now to let software catch up, like you recommended, as well as let the case manufacturers make the case for it. I spent a good investment in the generation five case, so I got to get my money’s worth before I sell/trade it. I use the Pivot system cases and will wait for the new iPad mini case.

Thanks tones for the review👍, I was thinking about buying one to upgrade from pen and paper.

[spiro]

Nice review Stef, though i wonder how the equivalent in opposition would do against this one ?? Hope to see you flying soon. Thanks mate

[ScottWoodland]

Thanks for the review. Debating the upgrade path for my iPad Air2 :) I link with Stratux for GPS and ADS-B weather.

[sactu]

Oh SNAP!! Mine arrived last week too. Agree!!!

[enochsharma]

When you are in the locked screen, you can just tap on the screen with the pencil to open the notes app. Swipe from the bottom right is actually meant for using notes while you are on another app.

Thanks for the review Stef. I did search yesterday for a pilot review of the new iPad mini to no avail.

[carsonberget]

I am so glad that I am not just a crazy person! Put a smile on my face when he checked flight radar to see what the plane was!

[Erik]

Ouch! I just bought an iPad 5 mini (cell) this summer. Like it a lot and I did need it for my schooling in an open gyrocopter. Thanks for your videos - keep them coming.

[sergpryimachuk]

Thanks for the video. I'm working on a project to adopt iPads for agricultural use. I'd be a nice replacement for old-fashioned tractor screens farmers use now. Your video gives me a bit of evidence that farmers will love that too.

[joshsaffin]

Great stuff Steph, always keen to watch your content! What case are you thinking for your mini 6?

[lachlanmcmahon]
