Which is a nice feature but not exactly realistic. 

How many screen shots are shown of the plane in an outside view? Do ppl fly that way or just use the feature to fill the task of taking a screen shot? My point is that both (being able to fly in spot view and being able to see inside a planes engine) are unrealistic but if used as a tool for the right reason it makes a nice tool to have in the tool bag. In my simpit I have a tablet that I use Popout Manager for the A2A tablet. I find that the A2A tablet is designed with two tabs that are useful for inflight and the rest which I use for when I'm on the ground and playing the role of Mechanic.

As a real pilot, I've moved from simming to virtually fly to train to stay current. In doing so I treat each flight like a real world flight. Just bc A2A offers the ability to see things a pilot cant during flight doesnt mean I have to use them. I dont use them but will use them in the role of a MX trying to troubleshoot a squawk.

The Duke Tablet is really all about the MX side. At first I thought I would be using it like I do the A2A tablet, I use the tab that has the checklist and inside temp/climate as my defualt page in flight. BS Duke seems to offer none of that so it really just for use to trouble shoot all the many possible failures.

P.S. 100 hours is not required unless airplane is used for training, and only IA can do your annual !

I fly using OnAir and FSE so I've sync my planes hours to those hours as I fly Part 135.
