Wi-Fi Client Support
If your aircraft is equipped with a wireless network, Sentry Plus can join the network and
provide its data through the aircraft’s wireless network. Sentry Plus will remember the aircraft’s
wireless network and automatically join in the future when powered on. Connecting Sentry
Plus to an aircraft network allows ForeFlight to receive data from Sentry Plus and the aircraft
simultaneously.
