VFR Flight in a Piper Warrior with Ipad and Foreflight video shots
VFR Flight in a Piper Warrier - More Ipad and Foreflight Experiences The good bad and ugly follows with the Ipad. Went flying with a fried in a Piper Warrior. Video contains average of 15 second snippets of the flight. No audio (outside engine noise) just text overlays in the video. The good Just like any hand held device, it's awesome for situational awareness especially with the sectional as a backdrop. Video includes a real good example of the need for situational awareness. 3G worked higher on this flight (3500 MSL) GPS held satellite signal nicely with a great accuracy rate. The bad Reflectivity was much worse in this flight. The higher the sun got, the worse the reflectivity on the screen. Nav log did not countdown mileage enroute like a aviation hand held GPS. Could not access NOTAMS for individual airports under the airport option, only in briefing could I access the NOTAMS which was not the full flavor I always print before flight. The ugly The Ipad was on my lap. Unbeknown to me, the thing was baking away in the direct sunlight and it met it's operational temperature limits and shut down. It took 5 minutes to cool down to get back in operating limits with me putting the unit by an air vent. Video includes our "fix" to this problem. GPS assist should NOT be used in flight. While I was using 3G, everything was happy. When I lost 3G, I also lost GPS tracking. The fix to this was to turn off 3G and GPS tracking kicked right back in. Video ends with our landing wing ...
