You are correct, and yes - under the supervision of an A&P, you can perform any tasks that the A&P is legal to perform.

Everything you say is correct, but... I have an HDX and GPS175. I went with the 175 rather than the 650 because I looked at every airport I'd ever flown into with an instrument approach as well as any airport I thought I'd WANT to fly into with an instrument approach and at least as of 5 years...

So does the A/P work, but just ask for trim a lot? Or does it not engage? Or if engaged (at least per the indications on the screen), does it do anything? Will it hold altitude in altitude mode, even if you perturb it? If there's no friction in the pitch system and the flight forces can be...

It would be extremely useful, when asking for advice, to provide information that might allow folks to know more about your system. Like: What airplane? Which servo model? Do you have the A/P Control Panel? Are you in Simple or Expert Mode? If you're already at 100% torque and it's still...

Because if you have a certificated aircraft with a TC, then each year, when you bring your plane to an IA for an annual inspection, they will determine if your plane meets the TC, any STCs, any 337's, and has appropriately legal equipment in it by examining the equipment. If it does not have...

No. When you're in VNAV, you're following a glideslope, and the only control the A/P has is the pitch control. YOU use the throttle to control IAS. If we had autothrottle...

Good answers here. I flew two practice approaches today with a hold and a PT. As @Pfactor says, the waypoints are all in the Dynon FP as pulled from the navigator, but the reason the PT/hold isn't shown is that a hold or PT is going from a listed waypoint to itself. In my case, it was from...

None of the above. Use the Skyview manuals to learn how to export user data. Export the data from however many flight you've had since the last time you erased your user data to a thumb drive in the Skyview port. Put that thumb drive into your computer, go to the Savvy website, log into your...

Not quite sure what you're asking here. First, I assume you mean "Savvy Aviation", right? You upload data from your EFIS TO Savvy - not download data from it. So you already HAVE the data that you uploaded, presumably on a thumb drive, in CSV format (because that's what Skyview puts out). Now...

THANKS!!!

Sigh. I've checked the "Sensor Config" and "User Config" output files to find the table of "voltage vs. fuel quantity" numbers, for a capacitive sender but no joy. Where the heck is that information stored? I can edit the table on screen, but on screen doesn't allow for inserting an extra data...

Well, all I can say is that the capacitance fuel level senders (from Princeton and now Red Avionics) have been calibrated and read within 0.5 gallons of the actual amount in the tank at ALL levels, in BOTH tanks. So, while TC'd aircraft might have really crappy fuel level senders (and I've never...

If you hit the "Direct To" button, the NAV will take you to the approach end of the runway it's pointing at, with the parameters you set in setup (altitude, distance, etc.).

Sectionals. Nothing else (for VFR). Definitely not "required", although nice. If you've got FF on an iPad, you've already got sectionals, so...

Look at the D180 (or EMS-D120, or EMS-D10) Installation guide. There are a couple of "contact" inputs that you can use to create on-screen indications. HOWEVER, you won't be able to have them sense IAS. But you CAN hook up microswitches in series so that the circuit will only "ground" the...

I don't know squat about the 215, but I have a dual HDX system with a GPS-175. The 175 talks to the HDX through ARINC lines to the ARINC 429 box and one serial OUT line (also to the ARINC 429 box - NOT directly to the HDX). The 175 also has one serial line to talk to my G5 and another to talk...

Huh. I have a subscription and received no email... Thanks for posting this.

Is anyone having issues downloading the Seattle Chart Manager update for the next cycle that starts tomorrow? I get updated VFR sectionals and IFR low altitude charts dated 3/20/2024, but the "Airport Diagrams" and "Approach Plates and Airport Diagrams" stay at the 1/24/2024 date - they won't...

Why? PS Engineering doesn't sell it anymore, and in fact, don't even sell the 360EX (which I have in my plane) anymore. Seems like a waste of effort to support something that's not on the market... No one with a Skyview system will have one (since they wouldn't have worked) and they can't get...

This: Is basically what I did, but with a parallel switch for the Co-Pilot grounding of the Disengage/Disconnect. I also ran each servo through a separate 3A fuse, rather than ganging them together, and put a DPST switch in line to turn off power to each servo for takeoff and landing.
