ForeFlight does come up with a message when you are above a certain altitude, but I have flown regularly as high as 17,500 without any problems whatsoever.

But what scared me personally was the issue with the capacitors.. As those servos were nearly the same (except the gears) as the ones we install in our RV`s. I do not want to blame the manufacturer but there was no altitude limit stated? So better watch out for other things if you go really high!

Default I-Pad air 2.

We have an I-Pad air two 9.5". I have had it up to 18,500 in the RV. And just last week we had gone to Omaha on South West. I sat in a widow seat both ways. With Garmin Pilot pulled up it show the flight all the way there and back with only a two or three second drop out from time to time. FL-400 on the way and FL-370 coming home. I sat it on the tray table and watched it with an accessional pinch in or out to look at stuff along the way. I thought it was good for an internal GPS. I use it as my cross check of the G3X system, while in the RV, placed on my left knee and my old trusty knee board on the right knee.
Don't know that this will help, as there are a lot of pads out these days.
Yours, R.E.A. III #80888

Altitude issue really only applies to non-pressurized airplanes. Cabin altitude is what applies.

Had my I-phone up to 13500 worked fine. Used an IPad across the country from Fl to Wa up to 13,500 and it too worked great. Only caveat was that cell service declines the higher you are, so download your charts before leaving. Keep the air blowing on the back of the IPAD to keep it cool.

Yup, it prompts you to don your Oxygen at 12,500' pressure altitude (if you have an iPad 2 with the built-in pressure sensor).
