(uAvionix) EchoUAT/Foreflight connection loss

[Dean Pichon]

I had another failure last night. My Foreflight lost position data and all traffic. When I queried Settings during the flight, the EchoUAT still showed as connected but Foreflight seemed to think otherwise. I shut off the WiFi and turned it back on. It reconnected immediately and remained stable for the balance of the flight. I'm no longer comfortable with the system and really wish Foreflight and uAvionix would get together and solve this for us.

I use ForeFlight with EchoUAT+SkyFyx and a GTX327 in my 10. The only time I've had issues is on airplane equipment start up. If my iPad is already on and running FF, it usually won't connect. So I turn all the avionics on before I turn on the iPad and start FF. 99% success rate. I've not had it disconnect in flight.

Two days ago, the 1% happened--it wouldn't connect at start up. Began the flight anyway hoping it would connect along the way. It didn't. I pulled/reset the EchoUAT c/b. Problem solved. Connected after it powered back up. YMMV

I'm in central NC, BTW

I?m having similar inconsistent connection problems on my iFly and my iPad. Adventure Pilot staff tells me to use a static connection instead of dynamic DHCP. I?m going to try this on my iPad also when I fly again on Sunday.
