ASIG Successfully Tests New iPad to 80,000 Feet
4/18/2102 | Little Rock, AR
Today the flyTab (www.flyTab.aero) team at ASIG announced that they have successfully performed a rapid decompression test on the new iPad (2012) to FL800 (80,000').
Apple has placed an OEM maximum operating altitude of the iPad devices to not more that FL100 (10,000') [See ENVIRONMETNAL REQUIREMENTS at http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/]
Due to iPad specifications and FAA guidance, every iPad has to be tested to the highest operating flight altitude of any aircraft in which it will be used. While the highest rated operating flight envelope for civil/commercial aircraft is as high as FL510 (51,000') NASA and the Department of Defense routinely have requirements to test to significantly higher flight altitudes due to higher aircraft flight envelopes and mission requirements.
:Environmental testing of the iPad is only one aspect of ASIG's flyTab iEFB products and services, it helps our engineers to ensure that when an iPad is fielded as an EFB, it will continue to operate safely and reliably through all phases of flight while providing the flight crew with enhanced situational awareness and reducing crew resource management efforts thereby increasing overall flight safety," commented Luke Ribich, Managing Director of ASIG.
Rapid decompression tests are intended to evaluate equipment installed in pressurized areas of an aircraft that are required to operate during and after an emergency is declared resultant from a rapid decompression event. Besides electrical malfunction, some of the problems that can be determined during decompression tests are: leakage, deformation, rupture or explosion of (gasket sealed) components, or a change in physical properties of low-density materials.
"As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business we are pleased to have the opportunity to continue our service to the nation's scientific community and armed forces by endurance testing the iPad to altitudes consistent with the unique missions that these devices are now being integrated to perform", said Ribich
