This is another thing I started last week. I've got all the connections written on a big Word document, and I thought it was silly at the start but it turns out drawing the system and subsystems on a BIG piece of paper makes some things obvious. Like that LINE is on the bottom of my switches...

HA! I was a career mainline WB FO, retired with 6,0 in the 77 and a biscuit short of 10,0 in the 78. At the end I was getting career 73 Captains who had never flown international and they'd give me the same look. "You're a FO, what do you know?" Then after SIN ate their lunch after a 17 hour...

Can you recommend one? I've been read and rereading the usual books (AeroElectric Connection by Nuckolls), Aircraft Wiring Guide by Ausman) but obviously I've still got a lot to learn. Thanks

Thanks everyone, I'm getting it now. 30 years ago I missed 22 out of 25 questions on my first airline ground school open book take home exam on the electrical system, it's always been a weak spot for me and I find that if I go back to crawl-walk-run on things I don't understand I learn it faster.

Ok, so it's kinda like a reducer so the wires can go to pin 24/25 to read voltage or amperage?

Trying to understand my electrical system better (I had it professionally done and helped), but can someone in simple airline pilot/dummy language explain what the Shunt in the Skyview HDX system does and is for? I know it's not a fuse or a CB, we've got it wired Low off the + master solenoid...

Hi, I have a HDX1100. Wiring was done by Approach Faststack (attached). When I attach a USB drive to update the databases it does not recognize the USB input, but it does when I attach it to the back of the Skyview, so the USB is fine but the Skyview is not recognizing the USB extension. I had...

Sorry: Skyview, Dynon OAT, located very far from the ADHRs. Ran my own 20 ga wires from the ADHRs to the OAT. An old USN Chief who taught me wiring basics drilled into me that it's easy to hook something up, but what are you going to do when it breaks?, so always make it removable and reparable...

Just talked to Dynon Tech Support, they recommend 24" between the two.

Min distance between the ADSB and Transponder antennas? Thanks

Not that hard, actually. Go into Setup menu, EMS Setup, Sensor input mapping, select Fuel Level, and pick or write your own. Easy peasy, Thanks to Don at Dynon Tech support.

Maybe I missed it, but I see Left Fuel tank qty and right, but I only have a single tank in the fuselage. Did I miss that, or can I change it from Left to just Fuel tank? TIA

The 914 shows the MAP being taken from the Connector tube, which is pretty ittybitty. I then have to run it to the Dynon MAP Sensor, which is 1/4", a lot bigger. The Dynon manual says you might have to step down from the Dynon in/output to the specific engine, is this what you all have done? TIA

Sold

Hello, Rotax recommends I install a fuel pressure sensor in my 914 install, they sold me a UMA N1EU07D pressure sender. Not sure how to hook it into the SV-EMS-220. Anyone here done it? Thanks
