    I’ve lost my iPad functionality in flight too many times. My iPhone is my first backup, and there is no replacement (in my opinion) for paper charts on a long cross country or a flight into an unfamiliar area.

      Hello Mel,
      I know the phenomenon – the iPad usually switched off shortly before landing. I found a remedy by using xNaut products, since then the iPad can be operated in the blazing sun, even on the fly on the ship in direct sunlight. No, I don’t get any money for the tip … Just a practical report.
      Best regards
      Robert
