    On 3rd question, I picked 2nd choice and it was shown as correct answer. I think if you choose the wrong answer the first time and try to go back and correct your answer it will still give you wrong.

      Stratus can be used with an iPad for ADSB-IN, but not OUT. Gotta have panel mounted harware to satisfy the ADSB mandate.

    Airplane mode does not turn off WiFi or blue tooth. I use both on my iPad with airplane mode selected. If it disconnected WiFi it would not connect to stratus.

      Airplane mode does turn off WiFi, Bluetooth and the cellular radio however you have the option of turning WiFi or Bluetooth on when the unit is in Airplane mode.

        I believe you both are right. Once you toggle on WiFi and Bluetooth in airplane mode, it is saved with that configuration for the next time.
