So it doesn't actually maintain zero vertical speed, it just tries to in between displacements from level that it may or may not register. I don't have an autopilot in my personal ride, just chimed in because it's interesting. Different flight control systems approach the task of flying the...

The modes for the FD should be the same whether the autopilot is on or off. I'm just going by what I know about flight control from my flying job, not sure I'm answering your questions, sorry about that.

"Too many", as if it's up to you to decide which of Dynon's customers to be rude to. Not everyone here designed and built their avionics installations and troubleshooting an existing system is harder for a new owner than the builder. A shop I was talking to today expressed exactly that. I'm...

if you pick a waypoint that is off to either side from your heading and hit direct, as the autopilot is turning the plane towards that waypoint, the FD doesn't indicate a bank angle? It stays level as the plane is turning? Most autopilots follow the flight director so if the flight director...

What is driving the turn guidance you are following with the FD? A heading bug? GPS route navigation? There has to be something making the FD want to turn and then you just follow it. Or are you expecting the FD to follow your lead when you start a turn (which isn't how they work)?

Why would you type such a useful response and ruin it with nonsense the first half-paragraph? It sounds like there's a preset gain value somewhere that isn't recognizing the drifting altitude even though it is supposed to be maintaining zero vertical speed? If you interpret "zero vertical...

Exchanged emails with Dynon Support, updates for the Dynon/Trig TT22 are buried in the overall Skyview system update, trip to Trig dealer not required.

Hi all, The Trig website says the latest firmware for the TT22 came out in 2018 but my plane was parked in 2015 before I bought it last year. Is there a way to update the firmware without bringing it to a Trig dealer? I'm guessing no. Thanks. :)

Thanks for the reply @BalsaBat ......I've got other details on my plate at the moment as the plane is back flying again. I appreciate the info though, nice to know I can mount it to the front panel if I need to.

I've seen that on MS Flight Simulator, never in a Boeing cockpit and didn't know Dynon could generate it. I suppose it could be used for instrument training but probably not a good sign if someone needs that to maintain SA.

What is HITS? ADS-B in targets? Heading vs. track isn't really relevant for aerobatic practice flights but I get your point. Thanks for the reply

I assumed the map display was capable of using GPS position for ownship position/heading and to position traffic hits on the map as Foreflight does. It's a moot point since the ADAHRS has a magnetometer and will be calibrated and happy before we fly, which is quickly approaching.

My original question was if the Skyview Classic displays interfered much with a compass, not in the manual from what I've been able to tell. I still don't know but I did learn about the ADAHRS magnetometer which is a suitable solution for what I'm doing. Traffic displays graphically relative...

Thanks for the replies. The plane I'm flying is going to be used 99.9% of the time to fly aerobatics so I'm not going to be looking at the attitude/heading displays very often. Flights will typically be to a local aerobatic practice area and back to the airport, lasting about .7 each. I have...

Sorry, a remote magnetometer, I didn’t realize the ADAHARS has a magnetometer built in. I know, ADAHARS includes direction but I just didn’t give it much thought since I’ll probably seldom use the attitude/direction display.
