I have the IFR upgrade, and am trying to find where you've hidden the TPP. I thought it would be under the softkey on the left, but no! Where do I find it?

EDIT: Also the Chart Supplement? I know both these are on FF.

The Chart Supplement is not available in "as-printed" form in iFly.  However, the data is parsed and is available on the Airport Info screen.

The TPPs are also not available in booklet form.  Instead, tap an airport, and in the QuickView window, tap View Plates.  You'll find all the arrivals, departures, and approaches in there, and an airport diagram if one exists.

For airports in your flight plan, you will also be able to insert the waypoints from departures, arrivals, and approaches by tapping the "Procedures" button and making the appropriate selections after that.

Thanks Cobra. Having never used it for IFR I'm not familiar with all the locations of these. One thing I noticed, when I Picked a random nearby airport - Grand Canyon KGCN - was, when selecting View Plates |  IFP Minimums | Alternate Minimums, the displayed page was the one containing the GCN minimums. However, when I selected Takeoff Minimums, it did not jump to the page showing KGCN, but defaulted to the last page I was viewing. The first time I did it, with a different airport, it showed the first page. Seems the hyperlinking isn't working as expected for takeoff mins.

Other wise, this is what I wanted. Would be nice to have the intro pages of these included as well - the ones showing lthings like INOP COMPONENTS, TERMS/LANDING MINIMA DATA, etc.

I'm kicking this one up again due to a question I saw on another forum today. What Cobra writes is not really accurate. The airport information screen in iFly contains data parsed from the AFD section of the Chart Supplement, not the full Chart Supplement.

The question on the other forum was raised by a pilot who was new to the SoCal area. He filed an IFR route he though was reasonable (it was) but his clearance came back with a coded TEC route. He was at a loss. So we explaind what TEC routes were and where to find them for decoding - in the Chart Supplement. So I got curious and began looking at my group of EFBs. Surpised to not see them in iFly.

No, they are not listed in the information screens for the airport in iFly. I wouldn't expect somehting that region-specific to be. But I do think an essential publication like the Chart Supplement shoud be included in an EFB intended to be "the complete flight planning and navigation app."
