What are the Tablet requirements?

• A. Must be updated, fully charged and spare battery at 100%
• B. Must be kept in bag and unused during flight
• C. Must be shared among crew
• D. Must be connected to in-flight Wi-Fi at all times

Answer: (A)

Having the tablet ready means it’s updated with the latest manuals and procedures, and it’s fully charged with a spare battery available. This ensures crew can access current information and complete tasks without interruption during the flight, even if the main battery runs down. Keeping the device in a bag and unused would prevent timely reference to checklists or safety procedures, which is not acceptable when quick access is needed. Sharing one tablet among crew can slow things down and create confusion, as each person may need to refer to different parts of the material or require individual access. Requiring a continuous Wi‑Fi connection isn’t necessary because many operations rely on offline access to essential content, and connectivity can be unreliable. So the best practice is to keep the tablet updated, fully charged, and have a spare battery ready.
