Read full descriptionHide full description
For years, the AEA has published the AEA Pilot’s Guide, a consumer’s directory containing educational articles and timely information about the avionics industry, its products and its people. The back portion of the Pilot's Guide is a directory of AEA members. Our aim in publishing this annual guide is to help pilots make better avionics buying decisions and to locate the repair stations certified by international regulatory authorities as capable of installing and maintaining these sophisticated pieces of equipment. Enjoy the AEA Pilot’s Guide!"The “yellow pages” of the AEA Pilot’s Guide provide a lifeline to the technical experts in the avionics world who can help make an informed decision based on budget, capability, integration, certification, resale and more." - Mike Adamson, president & CEO Aircraft Electronics Association

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: POPA Convention at every 4 months against AEA Pilots Guide's every 19 months. AEA Pilots Guide's advantage is iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
