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...

Been for a fly this morning and experimented with how the setup works.
I found out that the usb supply is actually on the main bus not the avionics, so turning on the pilotaware before the engine is actually possible, it just takes a long while of waiting with the master switch on before being able to start the engine.

I might just revert to battery power for the pilotaware as I already have the battery and it easily lasts a full days flying.
