I wonder how many XC pilots carry external battery for their cell phone in case of landout? Otherwise you likely going to run out of your smartphone battery just before your crew arrives.

I solved this problem by having the same connector for my navigation (Kobo) as my phone and my inReach. As I've only ever exceeded the capacity of one battery 3 times in 10 years I'm guessing there will always be something left in the other one to charge them up. I truth I also have a small USB battery pack that is in my landout bag, total cost about £15.00
