Might be good preventative maintenance to replace the hose since you've got it apart . . . .

I've had to replace that hose firewall forward due to degradation of that hose. Pretty cheap fix from NAPA !

thanks for all the suggestions from the Board. The zero-calibration in the set-up did the trick.

Well, I hope the shop that did my p/s test (see initial post) correctly and put the Dynon into p/s test mode when he did the calibration. Maybe that's the root of my problem. As for 999's comment, sure that is a concern which is why the AP just used his mouth to blow air (which raised the...

Wow, thanks for the response. I'll hit the airport tomorrow and give this a shot and report back.

So here's my update. Pitot/AOA is not blocked at the probe. Blowing in the tube shows airspeed increase. However . . . . . The AOA "below" was set at 20knts and my airspeed is reading 21knts when parked in the hanger and with the pitot cover on !!! So I can use the above procedure to increase...

I'll check that port but the AOA functions correctly at airspeeds above 75knts but below that "low airspeed" it continuously goes off (which it should while in the air, but not on the ground or at taxi speeds).

Sure back-ups are always a good idea. Just trying to avoid the frustration of making the back-up, installing the update, removing the update, re-installing the back-up if then update is known to be a problem.

No, this is with AP disengaged. I think the alarm is the one associated with the AOA Just strange that it only started to beep on taxi after the static/pitot/transponder test-calibration.

As I understand, if you got a Lifetime sub for an iPad then later got an aircraft with Dynon, you still have to buy a sub for the aircraft. SA won't let you use the Lifetime iPad sub for Dynon updates. Now if you didn't have one for the iPad and just started your journey with FlyQ when you got...

Sooo. . . . . really had nothing to do with the update ?

I had same issue. Pulled the sensor, looked up the part number and for $15 got a replacement off Amazon. It's typically a general auto parts MAP sensor.

About to do that update myself. Is this a widespread problem for other folks as well ?

So my "airspeed low" was working great, only coming in on final approach (set at 10 kns above stall) until I took my plane in for pitot/static and transponder certification check. Now it goes off at any altitude if below my setpoint (e.g. like taxiing). What could my AI have done to screw up...
