Yes, a baro-corrected altitude source is required for enroute VNAV for both the IFD and GTN. It's mentioned in the user manual for both.

That's what it sounded like to me too -that "VNAV" in Dynon is "APR" in other autopilots. But I wanted to check with Dynon reps or people who might have a navigator/FMS that does feed enroute VNAV data. It's not just a Garmin thing. Avidyne added enroute VNAV to the IFD. I'm not sure I agree...

Will the certified version of the HDX autopilot follow an enroute VNAV profile from a Garmin GTN or Avidyne IFD?

The funny part of all this is that for a long time I never even noticed it was missing despite doing and teaching approach, departure, and falling leaf stalls. Plenty of "inherent aerodynamic qualities" warning if the impending stall, as @Rhino mentioned.

It's not that it's not working, there simply isn't a vane stall indicator. The wings are flush. I thought that odd but the maintenance manual says it was optional.

it looks like that's the answer. SportCruiser aircraft were built with a stall warning vane system as an option. I don't see anything about a dual pribe sensor pitot installation in the maintenance logs. @Dynon, when was AoA capability added to Skyview?

Are you seeing this behavior on other approaches? This one, as you point out has a distance/altitude loss combination between the IF and FAF that would have you descending on the glidepath immediately after crossing COVGO. Any excess altitude and you'd be above glidepath in a jiffy. If it's...

we tried it with three and then with two. @Bsquared asks an interesting question. The SportCruiser maintenance manual talks about an "optional" vane-type stall warning system which is definitely not on this airplane. Basically, without the Dynon AoA there is simply no stall warning system...

A friend's new to him SportCruiser with dual EFIS HDX. AoA indicator had never been calibrated. We attempted calibration yesterday. Following the on-screen directions (pic), we did three stalls. Power off no flaps, power off full flaps, and a departure Stall. All three recorded by the system...

Sorry, no. The only Dynon I'm teaching in currently is a dual HDX system so I've had no reason to look for anything on the Classic.

I teach in an HDX SportCruiser. I assign this playlist of videos from Dynon as part of ground training. Dunno how old you are :D but I have found them helpful. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmolGJZEeVA5wTyd_sne9h2FcAuFJsHU2

I think everyone can agree it's not the best interface. More like a command prompt screen dressed up a bit. Having watched it take forever, I think it may actually pull the files to the desktop/laptop first, then copy them over, and then do a verification check. Fortunately, I can put in the...

I'm not going to defend SA. It's funky and old-looking. But since I started using in in December I haven't seen any of the problems folks are reporting.

I understand the difference Between a Call Sign/Flight ID and the aircraft registration. You are right about semantics. Given the multiple terms being used, I was wondering whether the terminology was being used the same way in the Skyview As elsewhere. Apparently it is,
