    D10A encoder mis-reporting

    It isn’t the serial port that’s failing, it’s the actual encoder that is sending corrupt data intermittently. At least that’s what I’ve determined. But serial ports do fail. I have a TruTrak Sorceror A/P that has a failed serial port for the GPS data in. Yet the GPSS serial data in line is...

    D10A encoder mis-reporting

    Nope, not a missing Gray code wire, it a serial connection. I’m reasonably certain it’s the D10A encoder because upon reviewing a recent trip, my altitude was reported 1000’ higher than I actually was during one of the data bursts. I saw it on FlightAware after the flight. Thanks for giving it a...

    D10A encoder mis-reporting

    In my Lancair 320, (GTX330ES xponder) to solve an ADSB intermittent failure issue, I switched from an old parallel data encoder to the serial data encoder of the D10A which solved the problem. However, after about a year and a half, I began having ADSB failures again, related to baro-altitude...

    D10A altimeter problems.

    The D10A encoder is the altitude source for the GTX330ES used for ADSB and I’m having intermittent Baro and Geo altitude failures resulting in exceptions on a PAPR. I also had it indicate a 1000’ altitude excursion on a recent flight. Is it safe to assume that I need to send the D10A in for...
