In my case keying the radio didn't work for me. Put a label on the panel next to the xponder with 7600 and 7700. Leave out 7500. They might figure it out if it's too obvious.

I installed a capacitive sender in the main tank of my Glasair II. The float sender wouldn't read the bottom 40 litres. 40 litres is about 1.5 hours flying time. That is a long time to be flying not knowing how much fuel is remaining. The capacitive sender reads down to zero litres I expect. I...

Not all that useless. I had to look up the code for no radio on the internet when my radio quit last year. How often does that happen? Well twice for me. My friends radio quit the other day on downwind but then I remembered the code. I added the emergency squawk codes to my checklists. Almost as...

I didn't know the ZAON had any sound. If it does, you'll have to connect it to the audio panel. Skyview generates sounds but they also go through the audio panel.

I always wondered what the IAS was when I landed. Like everyone my eyes are outside. I upload my logs to Savvy all the time so I checked a few landings. It's nearly always the same IAS on landing. You can see on the graphs below, both the pitch and AOA break when I touch down. The pitch and AOA...

My ZAON caused a lot of radio static at 120.0. It worked fine otherwise. I had the ZAON TX connected to both my GPS495 and SV RX.

It might help you decide if it's worth keeping by running through a few scenarios where a single transponder has failed. Personally I can't think of a time or place where it would be a problem. I'm VFR so working with limited knowledge here. ;) I can think of a few scenarios where the second...

Yes. In the picture above the vertical bars are EGT's. The horizontal bars over the vertical bars are CHT's. The CHT bar and the value are both yellow for one cylinder. On the following picture two of the EGT's bars are blue. It looks like the values only change colour if they are yellow or...

You can't connect serial connections through the five port network hub. The connections are made directly to one of the five serial connections on the 37 pin DSub connection on the back of SV1000. You might want to review the Installation manual about connecting serial devices. There is some...

There also is some discussion on this forum. There was a solution offered where you could use two different calibrations. You might also want to change the color of the fuel gauge so that you know which calibration you are using.

As Steve says they change color according to the ranges.

Thanks Doug - That worked :)

If you use a bar or arc as the gauge it will display the PPM.

I had trouble with a log I loaded into Excel and saved as an excel file. I saved it as CSV but it wasn't loading last time I tried. I lost the original file so I'm hooped I guess.

I had a problem with the ADS-B transponder flooding my pitch servo with RF and making it go offline (composite a/c). I moved the antenna and problem went away. With one antenna on top and one on bottom you'd think there would be enough separation. Perhaps try moving one antenna.

I believe that it takes about 4 hours of flight to charge the backup battery. When I do the backup battery test, I put a charger on the aircraft battery overnight and turn on the master so that Skyview is on. You need a charger that doesn't switch on and off and supplies >4A. Check to make sure...

I added a LEVEL button. It's in my passenger briefing and I demonstrate it if they ask about it. If the AP-PANEL is not in the cards, the KNOB-PANEL also works as a LEVEL function. Press and hold the HDG/TRK knob will level the wings. Press and hold the ALT button will capture and hold the...

The RS232 connections won't work. Disconnect them when you get a chance. Your connection to EMS C37 P31 will work. You just need to set it up and add a gauge to one of your ENGINE pages. If you have never added or modified an engine gauge you might want to read through the "EMS Sensor...

Did I say PDF? My bad. I'd go back and correct that but it won't let me. I can understand Cessna sticking with a standard format. Some of their planes have a dozen or more different pilots climbing into the left seat daily. My plane has one pilot for the last 800+ hours. I don't think I'm going...
