Flying with iPad mini: A pilot's review
crlee said:Just curious…. How does one in small planes like this connect to the internet while in the air?Turns out it doesn’t need an internet connection to do its thing while in flight; all the data for the flight plan is downloaded ahead of departure (for example weather). The charts and maps are already stored on the device, so nothing to download there. GPS positioning doesn’t need an internet connection.Interestingly (for me anyway) the app is capable of connecting over Bluetooth to a whole variety of different aftermarket hardware sensors and transmitters that are common for small aircraft. Things like enhanced GPS, communication transmitters, GSM receivers, and so on. So it can pull in additional data from these sensors to augment what’s already on device, even without an internet connection. -

If a site says, gimme money and I'll give you back more money, there's a zero percent chance of legitimacy involved there.No one says “this is definitely without doubt a scam. I’m in.” -
