Nope. Screen failure, I'd bet. Had a D120 for 10 years or so - no matter what the alarms were doing, it never did THAT.

I agree with you that it would be nice for the elevation data in User Defined Waypoints to be useful for navigation, and I have no idea why Dynon doesn't (or can't, with a toggle maybe) use the elevation info for that purpose - an enhancement request, for sure. If there's some airport that's...

Sure sounds like an intermittent momentary power loss, like would occur when strands of wire are just barely touching the inside of a connector and there's some vibration.

My point was, with a $40 switch and a couple of ethernet cables, the OP can have what he wants. Seems simple enough.

So I don't know crap about having a 3rd display - I only have two. But you already know what you need to do for the SV-NET and for all the data lines (splice the third into the other two). For the Ethernet, see page 2-32 of rev. AT of the installation manual - it says: Dynon Avionics strongly...

Where's @SV_Classic when you need them?

Which, if one reads the manual, one would learn without having to ask someone else to do the work for them. People do NOT mind answering questions. What they mind is being asked to do work for folks that aren't willing to put in a modicum of effort themselves. Now, if the question was "I...

No. Maintaining zero vertical speed (the derivative of altitude) is not the same thing as maintaining a specific altitude. Hit a vertical gust (even a very weak one), and you may rise or sink some. The A/P will still, wherever you end up from the vertical gust, attempt to maintain zero VS, but...

I won't say "RTFM", because some folks get touchy about being asked to read the documentation for the complicated equipment they're using (see previous invocations of "Read the Manual" responses in many other threads), but from the Skyview Pilot's User Guide, Revision P, Chapter 8, Page 8-1, it...

The data is very thin, but we actually have data showing the opposite: https://generalaviationnews.com/2025/02/07/taildraggers-and-turmoil/#:~:text=General%20aviation%20has%20long%20faced,down%20accidents%20involved%20tailwheel%20airplanes. not surprisingly, aircraft that are harder to control...

Do you have an data to back that up? The 2022 McSpadden (nee, Nall) report here (last year for which non-preliminary data is available)...

And yet, accident rates, both fatal and non-fatal, have been trending down for many years and continue to do so, even in the face of these claims that "the old days were better". GA accident statistics/facts do not support this claim. I agree with you 100% that all the things you mention are...

Those would probably be the right ones to use, then.

Which pins does the installation manual say to use for tach input?

All of your suggestions are good ones, but no can do. I've had to do simple contact level combining (AND/OR gates) prior to the input line to the EMS. There also aren't NEAR enough inputs for modern aircraft - I've long since run out, but I'm too cheap to buy a 2nd EMS just for the inputs...
