My new share-o-plane has a PilotAware fitted on a cigarette lighter adaptor.
Saves messing with a usb battery like my previous rental setup, but being switched on with the avionics master means that it isn’t ready for use for a couple of minutes after startup.
I’ve got quite used to the engine start and off blocks logging, but this requires starting the flight before the engine is started.
Is there any way to start a flight using my iPad’s location services and then switch to the PilotAware once that has booted?
It should have finished booting by the time runup checks are completed...

Yes, but this isn't 1980, surely the most it should take to "boot up" before a connection can be made to it (even if a fix isn't yet available, which is understandable) would be 30 seconds or something?

Well my (admittedly 18 month old) iphone boots in just under 30 seconds and my apple watch (latest generation) just over 35 seconds.
But by your own argument these would both still fail to meet the current 15 second timeout and that is before we consider the fact that I will have 'gone flying' selected 'log engine start' and actually started the engine before turning on the avionics master.

Given that you have a specific subset of your software dedicated to Pilotaware, can you not add an extended timeout (or at least an selectable option) to accomodate the startup delay of the 1980's raspberryPi?
