It was sorta promised to me, but............I don't think it is far away. Along with some other stuff. Maybe Santa is delayed due Covid ?

Jake, the SV GPS will ALWAYS work faster and better than the one connected to your IFD. Or a GNS/GTN for that matter. Its all that "certified" integrity stuff going on that makes seem that way. 200 or so years ago, any world renowned botanist would declare "all swans are white". That was fact...

As a Dynon Authorised dealer and installer, I cannot endorse doing these things. It only has to give trouble once, somewhere in the world, and it is then a bad idea. Regardless of how many successful outcomes. Those who fly in the central USA might be fine, but get into latitudes where the view...

So have you previously with the auto dim manually turned the back light down via the DIM function? I have done a bit of night flying with the HDX and never found this a problem when dimmed down. One more thing to consider. What other instrument panel lighting, or cockpit lighting are you...

I see you have found the manuals :) And yes you would think that it would have been found on the ground, but for some reason it was not. Remember he had Garmin tech help here, and notch filters etc. It was not until I asked for the two to be separated that the problem went away completely. My...

Not sure why you would want to, but you can "trick it" if you want by using the MDA feature. Set the MDA to say 4630 and then wind the altitude bug towards that. It will capture the MDA value. Otherwise no I have never seen a need nor a way to change the increments. I doubt that this will...

Perhaps I should have stated more clearly, the two feet rule is a bit of "catch all" encompassing other antennas also. The various manufacturers all say something different, but pretty much the same. Just because one gets away with it does not mean all do. So I would not be condoning the kind of...

Loading a different file to one screen and not the other.

This applies to ALL GPS antennas. Minimum 2 feet from each other.

I have reason to believe the drummer is getting comfy on his seat and selecting which sticks to use.........so maybe if we are all good Santa will deliver. But maybe due Covid Santa might be later this year.....who knows.

Sorry long time since I have set up a classic AP. Maybe there is no gain for roll.

Hey Don, you and I both know what Robert promised me, ;-) so is the drum roll happening?

I suspect your compass needs a very go calibration in the level flight attitude. There is a well detailed procedure in the manual. This is most likely the problem. The point of attachment to the servo needs to be on the inner most holes that does not cause over centre or travel limit issues...

Exactly........The OP needs to download the manual and work through all the things configuration, then when that is correct look at wiring.

I use a couple of other brands. Not sure off the top of my head. But I have had customers suffer this. Not all do it, but some do.

And the transponder software needs to be current possibly.....lots of things to check here. Sounds like you need to read the manual (installation) and check the configuration. Maybe the GNS430W is not connected or the output is not set up right. Maybe the SV is not set up right.

YES Quite likely you have a USB stick with mapping on them. There are some USB sticks that do not play nice, and the small mini SanDisk seem to be the main culprits. There may be others too. What USB keys do you have connected?

Set them to 1 per second for best diagnostic value. A CHT that went over 500 for any length of time would be a real concern to me, luckily this was not for very long. I would replace the spark plugs in that cylinder if nothing else and have a good look with a borescope.

It can also be a loss of integrity or vertical position accuracy / certainty. The GPS solution can be the problem. The previously mentioned bug is another matter.

You can display the approach plates on the SV. You can crossfire the flight plan from the 530W to SV which is what you get with the ARINC module, and the HSI functions etc. You can not use the SV gps/nav/mapping feature for IFR approaches. Sure you could build an approach, but its not legal and...
