About 30 TAG Aviation pilots have made the switch from paper to electrons, replacing the Jeppesen approach chart binders in their business jet cockpits with small, lightweight Fujitsu touch-screen computers.
Larry Edeal, vice president of flight operations for TAG in San Francisco, said the charter and management company eventually plans to supply the handheld computers to most of its 359 pilots around the world.
