This is not true. In fact, we've built our entire business on the fact that pilots can use iPads while flying. www.foreflight.com

Thanks, interesting, and thanks for understanding my point :)

I'm pretty confident that pilots are required to be able to navigate with pencil and paper flight map, in case of equipment failure.

As such, I'm surprised that airlines would allow iPads to be a critical failure point.

I wish you good luck with your business, which I'm confident is highly valuable.
