Hi: I'm wondering if/when there might be new updates (stability focused..) to the IFD100 app? Reason I ask is that, while my IFD440 works great, I see the IFD100 (eventually...) de-sync/re-sync with the 440. The primary experience is that the IFD100 comes up fine initially and works great... over time though (maybe 10-15 minutes...), I will see, in the IFD100, alerts that seem to be centered around loosing contact (or de-syncing...) with the 440. My 440 works great and does not skip a beat. Typically, the IFD100 "snaps back" and works again... but it's annoying and concerning... makes me want to not "trust" the app that much. Thanks! Doug |

There could be a few things going on here. Can you tell us what apps you had running in the background and what iPad model/storage/iOS release you are on? Additionally, is there only one IFD in the aircraft? ------------- Simpson Bennett Avidyne Corporation Product Manager |

Sure... iPad Details:
The IFD100 typically starts out running just fine... seems to get confused about 10-15 minutes into the use of it... I start getting some odd alerts that would seem to indicate errors or sync problems possibly... the errors/alerts seem to fix themselves but they erode the confidence I have in what I am seeing. My IFDs work wonderfully... no issues seen. In fact, they are so easy to use, I sort of wonder why I am cluttering the cockpit with an iPad... I guess I don't really need it... that said, I think there is something going on with the app and likely needs some checking into... Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks! Doug |

Has IOS 11.0.2 broken anything with the IFD 100? I can no longer log into my Jepp account to download Nav data. |

I downloaded my Jepp data into the IFD 100 about 15 minutes ago and it loaded as normal using an iPad mini with 11.0.2 ------------- David E. Cessna 182 RG II |

| Thanks. I figured it out 2 hours later. Jepp told me to uninstall and reinstall the IFD app but as expected, that did nothing. I finally noticed that a VPN setting on my IPad was turned on. This prevented the app from connecting for the downloads and I assume this also prevented the app from connecting with the 540. |

Yup, those darn computers. They insist on doing what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do...
