If you're looking for something to keep you awake because you are too tired in the cockpit - I'm going to politely suggest you shouldn't be in the cockpit in the first place. This is a solution to a problem that should not exist.

I had the same problem for a few hours this morning, was cured up after lunch. Maybe the FAA finally got a chance to re-lick their cat.

Check for a broken shear screw on the pitch servo.

Are you capturing the glideslope from below? It will not capture and follow the glideslope unless you intercept from below.

Try other airports - it could be an error on just the one plate, or it could be that your GPS is giving a false location.

If the power wires leading to the LGPC are serving as an antenna for the noise, then putting this filter as close as possible to the LGPC may do the trick. Does the LGPC have a metallic case to serve as a Faraday cage for internal noise? If not, the aluminum foil idea has some merit.

Likely, that is correct. When the FT-60 itself fails, normally what you get is zero flow indication at all.

The SkyView is not a certified navigation receiver - so no. It may be even more precise than the legally certified device, but it's not certified, so no.

It could be either sensor or circuit. If you have any bubbles in the fuel (air bubbles, or fuel vapor bubbles) the FT-60 will see each of those bubbles as an extra "pulse" that will artificially increase your fuel flow. The fuel is not flowing faster - but the sensor believes it is. On the...

Perhaps the Parallel is getting to you. I have been one of the most vocal critics of the SA app and I still don't like it much - but I will give them credit for the recent software overhaul. It did make most of my heartburn go away and my last few updates have been a non-issue.

Your ball is centered with the autopilot on and left wing low? If you need a little rudder trim, and don't have the ball centered with your feet off the rudders, then the AP will drop one wing to counter the rudder.

There are plastic backshells also, and brass hardware is preferred.

This is likely a wiring problem on the cables coming into the HDX. Check for a bent or loose pin, or a wire loose in a crimped pin, or a loose connector.

Yep, what Rhino said. The answer is "Maybe", but nobody outside of Dynon knows for sure and nobody is going to say publicly until it's ready to ship.

What is that standby AH you have on the top right?

Reception of traffic coming in is from the ADSB-472 receiver unit. ATC seeing your aircraft (primary versus secondary) is in your transponder.

Hah! So I was mouthing off about how I've got so much time on my shunt without breakage, and wondering what you guys were doing to them... then I started my annual inspection this week (RV9A), and guess what I found? Yup, I just ordered a shunt... 7 years and 1250 hours, but it finally gave up.

I never really considered it before, but there might be a way to set an alert on low OAT (say dropping below 40F) to alert the pilot to activate Pitot Heat.

Hey now, that's interesting - I hadn't noticed that before, I'll have to go fly some approaches to verify. Dynon - care to comment? Is auto-trim disabled upon VNAV capture?

I'm not sure what you're asking for here - there was no failure involved for the equipment - only for the pilot. You should have pitot heat turned on anytime you are in IMC with temps below 40F or 5C. If you are asking about a "partial panel" procedure to follow after you have already lost the...
