Wifi off after take off

Is it an idea to automatically switch off the wifi after take off to save battery? Maybe after a 1000ft or so.

I would also appreciate that, until all Skydiving planes are equipped with WiFi.

Seems like an outstanding idea

Your cellphone is equipped with WiFi (-sharing) so… :wink: at my DZ I normally have reception up til at least 10k.

But I might be a good thing to turn it off IF you´re not connected to a network before you take off/ 1000feet or so.

Most of us leave our cell phones on the ground and I doubt that syncing in plane mode is possible. The less the device is doing during critical operations, the fewer errors are likely to happen.

Hi guys - the wifi isn’t enabled after takeoff, it hasn’t been since initial release - if yours has, please let us know as this isn’t standard behaviour.

To clarify this topic:
The request was to either automatically disable WiFi in plane mode or to add an option for the user to choose the behavior.

Hey @Bruce - unless there is a clear reason to enable wifi in plane mode we will continue disable it. What scenario do you think would require it?

@brent
I don’t see a use case for WiFi in plane mode, but you should change the WiFi sign to the disabled sign (crossed through instead of with !)

Yes, definitely as some at Cessna DZ with 20+min rides to altitude.
