Eh, yes and no. The FAA requires operators to get approval for iPad EFBs individually, and does not require GA pilots to do any such thing. "Certified," however, has a special meaning in aviation. iPads are not certified hardware, period. Pilots must still use their aircraft avionics (which are certified) as their primary means of navigation. iPads can be supplemental only, for both general aviation and commercial operations.
