If not, please make sure that all devices can recover log data after overheating or store at least the log data until it happened. May with a autosave function every 30-60 seconds? Kind regards, ‌Sam‌

What aircraft are you flying and where do you put the iPad, direct sunlight? I get this quite often... We have lots of sun in Denmark these days - just this weekend on a short trip.. The ipad on my knee overheated.. Had to pull power, put it in the shade for a few minutes and turn it back on again.. IPad pro (small one) I have now.. M‌y previous Ipad air 2 and Ipad mini did it as well.. Happens more often with power connected - but also without power.. In very good weather - it can easily happen. Everyone I know has this problem - and always has their phone with SkyDemon on standby in their poclet :-) Me too :-) I‌ would live this data recovery feature - so I can get a better view of the full trip and not segments of it..‌

The iPad stays cool now and I can fly at least 4 hours without external power! :-) The SD software itself seems to be very economic with energy.
