I don't, except that Foreflight is advertising it now too I think.

My question would be, is the government transmitter going to reach my airplane when I need it most?

Does anyone have any advanced knowledge (beyond what is being advertised from Sporty’s Pilot Shop) about the STRATUS?  It is supposed to be, in addition to a WAAS GPS, an ADS-B receiver that will pick weather and weather maps off of ADS-B and display that information on an iPad using Foreflight.

 

ADS-B is subscription free, so other than the initial $799 for the unit, there is no other monthly fee.

 

It sounds pretty useful and I’m pretty much ready to pull the trigger and buy it.

 

Do any of you guys have any additional information on this set-up?
