    EGT marked as INOP when engine cold

    Couple of weeks ago I noticed that #1 EGT would show a red X when the engine is not running (EGT at ambient temperature). As soon as the engine starts and the temps go up the red X would disappear and it would seem to work fine without any problems for the rest of the flight. Now a few weeks...

    GPS accuracy

    OK that makes a lot of sense. My goal is to interpolate the missing GPS data using that data during a loop so as I get all of this into my model will see how accurate it matches the part for which I do have GPS data... . One clarification on heading rate though. I would have thought that this...

    GPS accuracy

    Good tip on the GPS. The info I could find in the manual is not quite on the level of detail I was looking for (maybe I missed something but I looked at the Appendix with the field descriptions in particular).  Couple of examples: - what does pitch show in inverted flight - what does roll...

    GPS accuracy

    GPS-250. -- That explanation makes sense. Will change to recording more frequently next time I fly to validate but I assume that will fix it. On another note do you have any documentation on what the pitch degree, roll degree, turn rate, compass heading etc. does as you are going through 360...

    GPS accuracy

    Hi, I am trying to use the GPS data logged at 1/4 second intervals. However, when I compute the speed vector from the GPS lat/long and pressure alt data I get an interesting pattern (all values in feet per 250ms): DELTA ALT,DELTA VECTOR LENGTH,TAS VECTOR,DELTA DELTA VECTOR LENGTH...
