Maybe as a backup, just to follow along, but the standard Jepp plate is
about as small as is practical, I think. We're starting to investigate
some electronic flight bags, with the approach plates built in, and those
might work, but a screen the size of a PDA is just too small to work with,
as a sole source of approach information.

It would beat getting the information from a controller.

Maybe. But it sure wouldn't beat getting it from a standard approach plate.
Or an electronic depiction of a plate at standard size. Miniaturization is
wonderful for some things, not so great for others.
