That's a great letter - thanks for writing it. Let's hope it gets a positive (and not smoke blowing up the you-know-where) response.

When you are stationary on the ground, what are the GPS speed, IAS and AGL indications? These are used for the system to determine if it's in flight or on the ground.

As do I. As I do not. But in any case, while there are some workarounds for the obvious bug in Dynon's software that's now been there for years and is a large issue and COULD be a safety issue, what does any of what you wrote have to do with that bug, which is what's being discussed? Also...

So this will depend on what you're defining "error" to be. If you want to know how far off a non-WAAS (since the D3 docs say nothing about WAAS) GPS can be vertically from the ACTUAL GPS altitude above whatever ellipsoid is being used as the surface reference, this...

Yeah, it's the User Guide, Chapter 3, not the installation manual. Maybe in the IG as well, but unnecessary to look there. Just press the "DISPLAY" button on the bottom, hit "SETUP", then set the screen to have the primary content be "ENGINE". Then hit the "back" button and press "FULL". Done...

More detailed, sure. Accurate, no. Page 7-44 of revision AT of the Skyview HDX installation manual very clearly indicates that all you have to do to measure VOLTAGE at one or two locations in your electrical system (I use the cold side of the master solenoids for my two buses) is hook up pins 1...

You don't give enough information to be completely accurate, but there's nothing inconsistent about the #'s if you read the manual so that you know what the device is showing you. Since you're on the ground, on the right you've dialed in 29.79 on the baro and see 2520 in the altitude window...

"Perhaps", as a friend used to be fond of saying, "monkeys will fly out of my butt" :). I've been suggesting about the simplest thing in the world to implement - have the list of "nearest" airports update distance order in real time for ...hmmm... 6 - 7 years now - something that the Garmin 195...

Yeah, this is another thing that would be nice to have (although there would need to be a simple toggle to turn traffic on or off in busy airspace). There have been times on approaches where I wanted traffic situational awareness directly (not over on the other screen, and having the traffic...

This does NOT display the approach plate as an overlay on the moving map, as Foreflight does - it merely displays the geolocated approach plate in the moving map part of the display. Charly is aware of THIS functionality, but he (and others) are looking for more - the ability to see the plate...

Using airport Identifiers (KSEF, in this case) would make it a lot easier for folks at home to follow along. So yes - the approach is aligned. What's your definition of "not aligned"? Heading not 005? Track not 005? What were the winds? Are you using a Flight Director? AutoPilot? If the A/P, how...

The VNAV will become active on the GPS175 on the leg inbound to the FAF. That is normal. Well, some approaches do not line up with the runway. Look at the RNAV-04 at KMHV, for example. If you don't tell us which approach it was that you're discussing, it's going to be pretty hard for anyone to...

You mean like the SkyView Video Input Adapter described on page 15-7 of Revision AT of the Skyview Installation Guide?

Two possibilities - first, the tubing is not tight in the nylon fittings - you can easily check to see if the nuts are tight and that the "olive" is inside, gripping the tube. Second, I do not see any sealant on the 1/8" NPT threads into the ADAHRS. It's possible that it's just not visible...

This. Unless you've got the map at a scale of 5 miles or less, you won't see obstacles. I generally set stuff to 12, 20 or 30 mile scales, depending upon what it is, with some stuff set to 100 miles or more if I want a larger picture.
