I don't know much about these things, but is there any autopilot that'll capture the glideslope from above? Are there any approaches where this is even acceptable? Seems you'd always have to fly into it to capture it if ILS, since there shouldn't even be a signal present when above it, and if...

I disagree Tim. Dynon isn't anything like Garmin. There is a very long list of equipment that the HDX will interface to, including, as you mentioned, the Trutrak autopilot. I would much rather have a Dynon autopilot, but my Trutrak does fly off the HDX altitude, VSI, and Heading bugs, and it...

This works perfectly. You can be looking at INFO for an airport and flip the switch to whichever radio you want to send the frequency to. It flips to that radio instantly. My configuration:

I currently have a Garmin GTR 225 connected to my HDX and it works fine using the GTR 225 protocol. I also have an Avidyne IFD540 in the panel and would like to connect either to the HDX selectively, using a switch: Both radios must use the same protocol for this to work, and both will work...

I like this. Any plans to bring this to Certified?

Thanks guys!

I can't find anything in any manuals. Can you tell me what these symbols are? Thanks

I got their email today about the new Airmate Data Manager so I thought I would try it. It was extremely slow and appeared to stall, and even after 11 hours, the progress bar barely moved. I tried downloading the data with a web browser instead, and it was successful and not too slow (11gb...

It is neither. I've tried both, and when you select either Aspen or Garmin, it will not go into "Skyview" mode.

Not sure I understand your question. The V35B was approved years ago. Info at https://www.dynoncertified.com/bonanza-35-autopilot.php

Also, realize that unlike the Aerocruze Track Select and Altitude Target Select, when you use the Heading Bug or Altitude Bug on the HDX, the Aerocruze will blow right through the desired heading or altitude, and wallow back and forth till it finally dampens down. It appears there is no...

One thing I've noticed is that it may not go into altitude hold until the proper altitude is reached. And of course it has been, but the Aerocruze doesn't realize that. Move the HDX VSI bug 100' either up or down and back to 0, and the Aerocruze will pop into Altitude Hold.

It's a legitimate question Hawk, but unfortunately, in my opinion, the only true answer is a cynical one. When it comes down to it, if drivers and their land vehicles had been licensed and regulated by the federal government instead of states, and the controlling bureaucracy eventually ran amok...

True, but just because it seems unorthodox doesn't mean it shouldn't be presented.
