Well, dang - that was it. Turned off the machine, set it to USB 3.0, booted windows, and was able to get DataManager to see it and use it. Thanks a million!

So, either installed for the first time, or reinstalled, the Extension Pack as described above - it said it was successfully installed. Got out of VB, started it back up and started Windows, got this - still no 2.0 / 3.0 USB support: No Joy...

Thought I did, but I'll try again... Thanks.

It would help if VB would recognize the USB ports on my Mac as anything other than USB1.1. that's the only choice I have, even though I know that they're USB2.0 and 3.0 ports... Thanks. I'll try again at some point...

I guess I made the assumption that since Dynon reads these fora and responds on occasion, that THEY were who he was addressing his questions to. Not to you, not to me, and not to anyone that didn't know the answer. Why do you think that you were the one that he was asking, in particular? I agree...

Meaning what? That in Part 91 ops, reliability and failure modes are unimportant? I understand that performance levels are different for Part 91 ops, and that DO-178C and DO-254 standards, as well as TSO's, even if not absolutely required, might be followed because they're good practice. But...

Does the fact that it's complicated mean that we shouldn't ask the questions, or that Dynon has no responsibility to tell their users what the failure modes of the system are? I performed the SSA/FHA Fault Tree analysis on the SS2/WK2/RM2 spacecraft, aircraft and rocket motor before I took over...

If it's between the D3 and the AV-30, I'd go with the AV30 hands down, as it's got Air Data input as well. If you're going to fly IFR, then having more useful data in your backup is better. If you're VFR only, then I wouldn't bother getting either - just look out the window if you're VFR. My $0.02.

Your questions about failure modes are good ones, and it would be really nice if there were documentation of them. A friend who has a full G3X system in his COZY MKIV had the ESP-X low speed protection kick in on him when his pitot iced up and he lost pitot (exactly what you posit here) and the...

Not currently. I asked for this as an enhancement a few months ago - Garmin's G3X can do it, but only to 100 ft. resolution. It would be really nice to have it to 10 ft. increments - no reason it can't be done, as the terrain database is in there...

If you have ADS-B in to the Skyview, it will provide ADS-B info to the Foreflight app. That's how I use it. No Stratus ADS-B in necessary.

So I took this as a challenge. After much wrestling, I was able to install VB and WI, as well as the Guest blah, blah, blah. Then the Chart Manager. Everything runs and downloads to the computer. HOWEVER, for the freaking life of me, I can't get VB to recognize a USB stick plugged into the...

For TC'd aircraft, that may be the case. But 14 CFR Part 43 does not apply to E-AB aircraft, per 43.1(b)(1). And AC's (either 20-183d, or even AC43.13-1B - the bible) are not regulatory. For new OL's written for E-AB aircraft, paragraph 23 from Order 8130.2J applies, and it says: After...

Ummm, yeah, there's your problem. The N/O contact should go ground, and the wire to the trim circuit (pins 3, 4 , 10, 11) should be GROUNDED when the switch is closed, NOT go to 12V. Don't know what you've done to the A/P controller by dumping 12V into it...

Sheesh. Sorry I missed that. Told you what you already know :-). So the question isn't "can you do this legally", but "where is the regulation that would preclude you from doing this?" As Dan concludes, if you meet the requirements of your OL's (NOT some random version of 8130.2<x>, but the...

Yes. See: https://generalaviationnews.com/2017/04/17/can-you-fly-ifr-in-an-lsa/

Sure - that works. And it's what they recommended I do. But even then, you need to spend $79 for Parallels, and then $139 for Windows 10. So it's still an extra $218, and more software to support and deal with, just to be able to download data. On general principle, I said no thanks. And while...

While I haven't had a problem with my yearly subscription disappearing, I've been in a running battle for 9 months with SA to try to get them to create a MAC version of the DataManager, which is a miserable excuse for software. Or better yet, create a browser based version that can be used on...

If the device is the PRIMARY means of navigation, that is correct but there are other legal primary means of navigation. Also legal for IFR is, per 91.205: Two-way radio communication and navigation equipment suitable for the route to be flown. "Suitable for the route to be flown" is the key...

What you should be checking on Pin 9 is not voltage, but continuity to a common ground with the EMS-220. See page 7-72 of Rev. AG of the Skyview Installation manual. When a contact pin goes to ground, it's closed - when it's open, it's not connected to anything. You also need to set up pin 9 per...
