SkyDemon could help us do this in flight in several ways: A setting to automatically dim the screen after some timeout As above but with some smartness to bring back the brightness for certain events, example nearing a turn or altitude change. A very accessible on-screen button to maximally reduce brightness without fiddling about with the control centre. Option 2 would be absolutely amazing. But even option 3 could be a nice win for battery life and heat reduction.

I have an iPad 6 mini with x-naut cooling case and still connection problems with an Air Avionics AT-1 at high cockpit temperatures. ;-( Achim
