    Distance to station from GPS versus DME.

    The data is kind of scattered between the certified and “general” installation and user’s guides. Unfortunately you need to reference all of them for installation and initial setup.

    Distance to station from GPS versus DME.

    The skyview cannot display DME. The distance is a GPS based figure based on the decoded NAV identification (to determine the DME station being referenced) and GPS database of the SV. If you are keeping the KN64, that is the only place to display DME. If you are referring to the “distance to...

    Distance to station from GPS versus DME.

    The implication was it will display GPS derived “pseudo-DME” without actual DME equipment and based on the NAV frequency tuned in your radio, which it will, but that feature has to be disabled in certified installations. Then there was a “do I need DME?” question, which in most cases you do...

    Distance to station from GPS versus DME.

    Understood, however the question was about the “virtual DME” on the Dynon PFD. According to the Dynon manuals, that feature must be disabled on certified installations.

    Certified trim

    Dynon’s lack of an in-house trim system has been an issue. For instance; my plane has a KFC200 autopilot. The electric trim is part of that system. You cannot legally take just the autopilot out and leave the trim in. (Well, maybe a field approval, but good luck with that…) For Barons and...

    Distance to station from GPS versus DME.

    Probably not an issue as you posted a while ago, but on CERTIFIED installations the Dynon manual states that function needs to be disabled (Unless they recently changed something)

    Garmin Pilot App ------> HDX Transfer

    And, since this is in the certified forum, the WIFI dongle is not approved for certified installations.

    Seneca Autopilot

    Apparently not, or I could t have posted the links… And statements above seem to refute this.

    Seneca Autopilot

    Just because the “can” capture from above doesn’t mean one “should.” Many transport category will NOT, and in general you should not attempt to to capture from above. Your autopilot may even restrict (or at least instruct you not to) you from it. Even if they will, there is no guarantee it will...

    A36/BE58 - king trim servo/Dynon AP pictures

    Interesting, revision K is the one listed on the AML for all certified aircraft, but the “newest” is P, which specifically changed the autotrim note to refer you to the AML, which just says “optional” This leaves one with an autopilot like a KFC### in quite a quandary: the trim and autopilot...

    A36/BE58 - king trim servo/Dynon AP pictures

    Where are you finding that information? I have found zero reference in the Dynon documentation about this. Dynon REALLY needs to fix this. They NEED their own trim solution. This is crippling installations in 99% of Beech an I’m sure many other models.

    Switched from Seattle Avionics to Airmate - No Terminal Charts?

    Not sure if they are included, but the Airmate HDX manual says to click “menu” then “map layer” and select the appropriate layer (sectional, WAC, low, high, etc). I’d guess this is where you would access TACs if available.

    Dynon Certified Expands STC Coverage to Include Most Piston Twin-Engine Aircraft

    A36/BE58 - king trim servo/Dynon AP pictures

    I’m looking for any pictures of the installed pitch/yaw/trim servo installation in an A36 or BE58 with a Dynon autopilot that retained the King trim servo. There appears to be interference between the brackets required for the trim and Dynon pitch/yaw assembly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Auto power down (or not...)

    I was going to ask why it was showing a left roll of 2-3 degrees while stationary, then I saw your avatar!
