Video: ForeFlight Stratus 2 demo

By General Aviation News Staff · June 10, 2015 ·

Our friends at at FunPlacesToFly.com put together this video of a ForeFlight Stratus 2 Demo on an extreme crosswind day.

“After several weeks of bad weather, we took the opportunity to go up and try out our new ADS-B Transceiver,” they explain. “We also purchased the Stratus 2 ADS-B Receiver for our iPad. This ADS-B Transceiver also has WiFi for the WingX Pro7 app, which we haven’t tried out yet, but it does give the copilot and passengers the option to use either the ForeFlight app or the Wingx app.”

“On this particular day, we had an extreme crosswind, straight across the runway at 17 mph, gusting to 23 mph. I asked my instructor, who has over 5,000 hours of flight time, to take us up for this video.”
