>>age 16. SEL, MEL, IFR, etc. etc… > 4000hrs"
>>Flew in my SR22T to Portland for first time 2 weeks ago at 14.5k.
>>iPad gave me “CAUTION ABOVE 12,000FT” WARNING and exploded.
>>Turns out iPad is not certified to be used above 10,000ft. Voids warranty also BTW.
I checked and it was the screen that disintegrated, nothing to do with the battery.
I know the individual slightly, he belongs to a Santa Barbara pilot group meets monthly for lunch. This is first hand, not a rumor.
But the points raised here are all very relevant, I'll get back to him and we are going to run some iPads in a benchtop altitude chamber. We'll let you know. THANKS…
