iPad Rotation?

I have the 8.1.67 update but while it now runs in Landscape Mode, I do not see any way to get it to change to Protrait mode...

What am I missing?

Re: iPad Rotation?

Frustrating and I also noticed my custom panel, etc. were gone. After restarting my iPad twice, I found that my panel and the rotation was back to normal. It seems these items might have been mentioned in order to aleviate the aggravation.

Re: iPad Rotation?

Yes, it maintains whatever orientation you are in when you start the app. It does not appear to be a way to change it after you start the app. I did find you can exit the app and then start it again and not lose the flight plan. I do agree with not just using the auto rotation of the ipad, this is too sensitive for using in the airplane. But, a button would be nice. There is a button while viewing plates that step through 90 degrees of rotation.

I did not seem to lose any of my custom instrument layouts during the update.

Re: iPad Rotation?

Even though you my not lose your instrument layout when shifting screen orientation, what is appropriate in portrait mode is OFTEN not desirable in landscape mode. I suggest that 2 separate layouts be saved if you are displaying numerous instruments.
