BRINGING PAPERLESS EFFICIENCY TO DE HAVILLAND PILOTS No more carrying pounds of aircraft manuals and documents on-board. No more waiting for Temporary Revision (TR) updates. With the De Havilland Flight Deck* application, De Havilland aircraft pilots can enjoy the benefits of going paperless¹ by being able to store and access manual data and other documentation instantly from their iPad® - without Wi-Fi. No other solution combines automatic TR updates, user control of content and aircraft serial number-specific information into one application. De Havilland Flight Deck* generates FAA, EASA and TC compliant audit trails for paperless¹ operations to prove your flight manuals are up-to-date. FAST AND EASY In addition to being able to access De Havilland flight manual subscriptions, you can control all of your electronic documentation in one place. Fleet managers, dispatchers and other members of your team can drag and drop electronic versions of aircraft documents, manuals and forms into online folders. Pilots simply enter a license code, then push a sync button on the iPad® and all updated documents (and subscribed documents) are automatically downloaded and cataloged. In less time than it takes to send a fax, pilots can sign documents, add text and email it to the fleet manager. AUTOMATIC REVISION UPDATES No more manually inserting revisions or Temporary Revisions (TRs) into De Havilland’s flight manuals. These are automatically inserted into the correct sections and distributed across every iPad® in the operator’s fleet by Technical Publications. Valuable time is saved and pilots are always ready to fly in accordance with the latest regulatory requirements. Powered by OBDS XR (r) technology, for reliability, security and speed. ¹ Paperless refers to the process identified in the relevant airworthiness requirement pertaining to paperless cockpits, including but not limited to FAA-AC-91-78,and AC-120-76D Use of the De Havilland Flight Deck* application does not relieve operator and its flight crew of their responsibility to comply with the applicable airworthiness authority approved documents.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CrewPad PRO at every 2 months against De Havilland Flight Deck's every 6 months. De Havilland Flight Deck's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
