No you don't have to have cellular data to fly.
I don't have a sim in my iPad & also use an Android tablet with no cellular.

I have a dumb question here. I am looking at buying the 7th Gen. Do you need to have an iPad with Cellular data to use it?
Yes, really remote area. Poor cellular connectivity also. How does it record the home point without cellular connection. That's my main worry.Just makes it more convenient in remote places.
If you use WiFi, you need to cache your maps (plan where you are at in the app).
Cellular, you do not need to...BUT will you have service in remote areas?

Thanks. That's very reassuring. I think I've used up my quota of dumb questions todayOnboard GPS with the drone.
Until this past summer, I flew exclusively WiFi
The Mavic has a perfectly good GPS receiver of its own that it uses for all flight functions.Yes, really remote area. Poor cellular connectivity also. How does it record the home point without cellular connection. That's my main worry.
Go with the iPad Mini 5 with cellular. I have recent switched to Mini 5 with cellular as my previous Mini 4 wifi was unable to track my location with gps, even though it is connected to my iPhone as hotspot. You will feel the weight of a full size iPad when holding it for too Long.I thought I would look for a used iPad just to see if one is as good as the Android tablet that I use for my display.
I am now totally confused by all the different versions & generations of versions.
What do you Apple fans recommend ? bearing in mind its only use will be for my display screen.
At the moment I use a 10” Samsung table with a none reflective screen, I have no problems with it but thought am I missing out on something by not going with Apple.
For those of you who use an iPad I would appreciate some advice.
