I was in the pattern today doing T&Gs and the Wi-Fi link between my Stratus 2 and iPad running Foreflight was lost. A long list of networks popped up asking which one I wanted to connect to. They were all 1,000' below on the ground. LOL! So that told me that the iPad was working but the Stratus wasn't. Losing my ADS-B (in) data wasn't a problem in the pattern, but I would hate to have that happen on a cross country where I needed to see the weather and traffic. When I got back on the ground, I cycled the power to the Stratus and that fixed the problem. Unfortunately, to avoid the thermal shutdown problem, I had moved the Stratus to the baggage compartment a couple months ago so it's unreachable in flight. Has anybody else had this happen? I run my Stratus 2 on internal battery.
