My suggestion would be a simple software update - have the autopilot hold steady altitude as long as the airspeed is greater than best glide +10 knots, and then any scenario with active power production will not produce an altitude change, but only a turn to the nearest acceptable airport. If...

My thought was VFR-into-IMC flight. Hold the NRST button to engage, pull the throttle to idle, and ride it down to the airport surface until you break out.

Power the screens up on ship power, then turn off your master switch. The screens will go to the backup battery for power and display the "shut down in 30 seconds" message. On the bottom there are some other options you can press a button for - one of them is "battery test".

Are you running 17.1 software? There have been a couple reports of USB read/write errors associated with 17.1, a possible bug.

Aaahhhh - interesting - I'm running the beta version of that software, and thought I had a couple of bad USB sticks, that sheds some light on the problem.

One thing to be aware of - currently as written, the software will try to capture best-glide speed and take you to the nearest airport. If you are at cruise speed, and/or still making significant power, the autopilot will pitch up and climb excitedly to capture best glide, and then nose over to...

The screen will remain alive on battery power if it thinks it's in flight - normally detected by airspeed. If you have a windy hangar location it's possible there is enough gusty wind conditions to make the unit think it's still in flight, or you might need to repeat your "zero-speed...

You mean, like a right 270 turn instead of left 90? Not that I'm aware of, other than just turning the heading bug as the aircraft comes around.

Though you are probably restricting your audience by posting here for non-Dynon related stuff.

Yes, you can. I have 4 tanks on my RV, and have 4 gauges for left, right, left outboard and right outboard. When fueling up I have a "Preset" button and a "Full" button. My Preset is set for 36 gallons (inboards only) while the Full button is set for 67 (inboards and outboards). If you only take...

Each display must be updated separately, they don't "share" the update. If both screens are not running the same software version, all kinds of errors pop up.

Section 20 of the installation manual covers this. Unfortunately I have no information for you on a 182 installation.

It's likely you have a persistent magnetic field somewhere near the magnetometer. You can try to track that down and eliminate it, or move the magnetometer to another location or install a remote magnetometer somewhere away from magnetic fields.

Pull the user logs and parse it for the AP disconnect command. You'll be able to see exactly when, and for how long, the command was received by the system. It won't tell you from where, but it's a start.

The autopilot disconnects when the stick button is grounded - you could have a wire chafing and intermittently shorting to ground for that wire, and the Skyview will interpret that as a command to disconnect the autopilot.

If you have dual screens (you still haven't answered about what equipment you have) then when updating the software you will have to update each screen individually - they will not "share" a software update from one screen to the other. If you update only one screen, you will have all kinds of...

It would be helpful to have a little more information - like what system do you have, what were you doing just before this message popped up, software changes, etc...

Are you talking about headset total volume? Or specifically the AOA alert tone volume? Are you aware that you can set the volume for the AOA tone separately from everything else in the Setup menu under the Audio section?

Almost certainly a compass calibration problem, yes. There is a ground calibration you need to do first (compass rose is very helpful for this) and then an in-air calibration as well after the ground calibration. If the problem persists beyond that, then you likely have some magnetic...

It's been discussed here before, I know I have said it specifically in response to you previously at least once. During the download of the approach plates and diagrams from your computer to your USB, sometimes the program stops displaying the progress in the middle of the transfer. The transfer...
