It is mounted in an aluminum mount that kicks it at a 30 degree angle toward the pilot. This way both the pilot and co-pilot can see the unit. Anyway today I flew in Concord CA (KCCR)where the day was very hot. It was probably 95-98 degrees when I got there and eventually it got up to 106. As I did not want vapor lock upon shutdown, I unloaded my buddy and his stuff and got ready to launch. Just as I called ground control to taxi, my I-pad gave a message that it was too hot and was shutting down. Then it just shut down. Fortunately, I had my I-Phone operating with Foreflight also and I used that for the frequencies, traffic, and runway/taxiway layout. I climbed to 9,500 feet where it was cool and put the I-Pad in the airflow above my knee and it soon booted up again. In the future under such hot conditions, I think that I will take more care to carefully shield my I-Pad from the direct sun. -------- See you OSH '17 Q/B - flying 7 yrs.
