Wouldn't you have to leave it powered on for the entire flight? Seems like it would drain the battery before you got there.

An iPad (fully charged) with no use in a bag could easily stay powered for the length of any flight. I don't use my iPad often, and when it's 'locked' it can last for a few days on that battery charged. I don't think battery life would be an issue at all.
