CPDLC!! Controller-Pilot Data Link Connection - the ability to "text" ATC messaging back and forth instead of tying up the frequency. This is the way forward!

My experience with Dynon Wifi was mysterious and aggravating enough that I finally just gave up and do without.

The Dynon also does not display traffic overlaid on the procedure drawing - so I do as Marc said, I leave the procedure up on my left (main) screen, and a zoom on the right screen moving map to about 3 miles for traffic near me as I'm on the approach.

I have seen a couple planes with a 3D printed bezel that the HDX mounts onto, but I don't have a file or know who produces them.

Ooohhh! Rhino! You have a new BFF! :cool:

Exactly correct, I had to do that once, just call them and they'll give you a code.

Hey now, that's a slick idea, I like that!

And was mostly worthless even prior to that.

I have 5 USB's each cycle for 3 airplanes with the SA charts and Dynon databases. When I plugged the first USB in and got the "Cannot read USB" error, I naturally assumed a USB failure. Then the next one, and the next. 5 out of 5 failed and I knew I wasn't looking at all my USB's going bad all...

I had the same issue, and another local pilot did as well. Seattle Avionics will now download the Dynon database onto your USB stick as well as your normal subscription - but this latest cycle it was corrupted. If you'll download that file direct from Dynons site it will work fine.

I operate on the opposite principle - the information needs to flow FROM the devices with small glass screens TO the device with big glass. I run an IFD440 because after programming the route, everything else happens on the HDX - no need to pay for more glass on the IFD that won't get used.

Yup, that's pretty much the accurate picture.

Another vote for the Princeton converters, they worked much better for me.

Another thing to consider is if you have either screen in "setup" mode, it will inhibit all audio messages for both screens until the setup mode is exited. I discovered this while doing some troubleshooting and watching raw data coming into the EMS module and realized I was getting alerts on the...

This is an alternator regulator issue. It's quite possibly the "voltage sense line" for the regulator has some slight resistance (poor connection) so it not seeing full system voltage, and that makes it push the alternator harder to supply power, which raises the true system voltage. With an...
