    ipad instead of black pear monitor

    I use my ipad pro with my inspire and use black pearl monitors with my skyjib and other SUAS aircraft. Is it possible to use my ipad in place of the black pearl monitor appreciating the image quality will still be low resolution. Just would reduce the amount of kit I transport.

    Just checked on Google Earth Pro and both Leeds and Doncaster ATZ are ringed red that prevents ground station being used. I can understand why this would be for Non CAA Certified pilots, but why only Leeds and Doncaster - what about all the other UK ATZ areas ? Any ideas / comments.
