    Dynon AP vs TruTrak

    Yeah.....beware what you read on an internet forum. Including what I write :-)

    New stuff from Dynon

    The Skyview (and legacy) are all you need when coupled to a IFR GPS. Now I would say dual screen, dual ADAHRS and backup power is a must. Outside of that you should have no trouble at all.

    Dynon AP vs TruTrak

    I am not so sure that is correct. I have installed these things (sadly) and I do know for certain that on the G3X installations I have experience with the CANBUS network falls over with one failed device or node and the AP goes away. Here are the drawings, and the only model that has any RS232...

    Dynon AP vs TruTrak

    You are very astute to note the Garmin CAN defficiency.......The one reason i would not have it.

    Dynon AP vs TruTrak

    That is not "Talk" that is FACT. Sucks if you are a TT customer or thinking of being one. Several folk up here have been installing them in their steam gauge Savannahs and the service etc has been awful. Manuals awful.....I best stop there. I only discovered this as I have been asked to solve...

    D180, do I need AP74 and HS34 for the autopilot?

    Chris, The Aera 660 is not going to provide you any VOR/ILS capability. If you had a nav radio, SL30, GNS430 etc. you would. No you do not need the HS34 unless you need to connect a certified navigator and or need any further inputs to the system. The AP74 on the other hand, while not...

    Determining static position error

    Fly a GPS box. You will need to message me your email address so I can send the spreadsheet to you. It will not attach here. Set a constant speed based on TAS shown on your SV. Fly 360,90,180,270 and take note of the Ground speed. If there is a +/-1 knot in your TAS just correct the GS...

    AMP Reading appears to low

    Yes you can pull up the VPX screen, and yes the VPX will display all the attributes, but nobody flies along all day with the VPX screen up. So the widget you want displayed on your EMS page is the shunt current that is the most meaningful. That is POS A. Simple as that. POS B or C is simply...

    Pitot Heat

    You should have it set to a 15A circuit. Absolutely. Also make sure your VPX does not have the low current function ticked. I cant recall its exact name off the top of my head but it detects low current such as a faulty lamp or something. Make sure it is unticked. Also, check the crimp...

    AMP Reading appears to low

    Just a thought, and it is a personal preference thing, but every installation I do, I explain the information gained from each shunt "position". In every case when the discussion has been had, POS A is selected. Especially with a VPX installed. The reason is under normal conditions you are...

    ADAHRS Failure

    Is it possible you have condensation in the line and it ran back into the ADAHRS? And think Static more so than pitot, although it could've been either.

    # 2 EGT, CHT issue

    Most likely this is faulty connection between the probe and the harness. It is not DSAB. Order yourself 20 x OLC-1 connectors and install them.

    Transponder and GPS issue

    Yes, your QNH at 30.37 is 1028mb or 15 above 1013, which would be 450 feet different. The GPS height is within range so thats probably close to the mark. No idea what your error is from off the top of my head. Consult the pilot guide or install manual.

    fuel -- full thank but dynon only 50

    Have you done the tank calibration? If so, and it tops out at 50 that will be because the float sender cannot go any higher in the tank. This is a fuel tank sender geometry thing that most planes have. It is not a Dynon problem.

    Switching Com from IFD540 to Dynon Com Panel/ GPS Map Question

    No...........its not the internal battery. When the GPS signal is missing and the 540 boots up (or a Garmin for that matter) it thinks it is still in Kansas. THIS IS NORMAL. The certified GPS is telling the HDX what to do and where it is. The Dynon GPS is saying nothing. Get a skylight in your...

    Transponder and GPS issue

    Yes, as mentioned above, they rarely match because the flight aware data is predicated on 1013HPA or millibars. Your QNH was likely 1023 or whatever that is in inches.

    Screen failure + Transponder failure...

    Many years ago, there were some flakey SSHD drives and it was random as to which ones would play up. Overall not many but like all things, you will eventually hear about them. nobody ever starts a thread about how perfectly their HDD's are running. Well...my three are. But that will have cursed...

    OAT Temperature Issues

    From memory, and I suggest you check the manuals but there is a menu item called INFO and you get to choose left or right. I normally set them up with the OAT/TAS/DA on the left and the VS on the right.
