I resisted for years upgrading to 10.3, given everything was working great (Foreflight/ipad IFD550 Stratus), and there weren't any features that I really needed.

But I upgraded and now traffic drops all the time, datalink errors are frequent, and a big irritant, everytime you join the network on a connected device to use foreflight, you have to hit "cancel." If you hit foreflight mode then you have to reconfigure the Avidyne.

This is ridiculous. I take from multiple forum postings I'm not alone.

Avidyne, you fixing this most basic functonality? Having traffic disappear is huge safety issue.

I should note that by comparison, my ancient and non-supported 530W and Garmin transponder works perfectly with foreflight in my other plane.
