dloyd, Yes, Direct to a waypoint will cause BOTH bearing [pointers to point to that waypoint and the little pop up box to indicate bearing and range to the Direct Waypoint.
But if you only have one GPS Navigator, and you have a flight plan route in Skyview, then going Direct to another defined...
My CAP unit aircraft has the Garmin G-1000. But I use my own aircraft with HDX when I fly for local Sheriff Air Group. I was just describing possible use for this functionality, But the G-1000 is the same way. In G-1000, you cannot specify a separate "target" or waypoint for the G-1000 Bearing...
But as one example I fly for the Civil Air Patrol, and I volunteer for local county Sheriff Search and Rescue group. We could use this functionality when we are flying a defined search pattern over the ground, but need to rapidly establish situation awareness about a position communicated to us...
I confess I am relatively new to new glass cockpit avionics. I learned in the USAF using ADI/HSI with multiple bearing pointers and used the bearing pointer and DME for many functions. I may be missing it only because I have not yet become comfortable performing the same tasks using the new...
You do not understand. The Bearing Pointer does NOT point to the GPS satellite when it's assigned to SkyView and you are on a active flight plan. No, it points to the destination of the current leg of the flight plan, i.e., a Waypoint. I am just suggesting that the system software be modified...
By default, bearing pointer 1 in the HDX points to the current GPS waypoint. You cannot control this. Many of us only have one nav source (an SV-GPS-2020/250), installed. In this case bearing pointer 2 is more or less useless. It would be a very useful enhancement to add functionality to allow...
Yes, I posted it in the other thread, because the underlying issue that thread was created about (failure of HDX system to detect Servo when connected through Network Hub), has still never been resolved, and I suspected they might be related, as the Caution Alert only occurred when Autopilot was...
Good idea, I will. It is interesting that the alert log indicates that this caution alert is happening over and over again, (every few seconds or so), on and off, in spite of the fact that the Autopilot is on and functioning properly. I have a resistor across the momentary switch, as specified...
I downloaded the Data logs, and one of the files is Alerts... a portion of which looks like this:
6502.44,2,9,2020-07-12 14:55:23,+37.09436,-110.59238,11087,133.1,288.6,-10.1,14:55:41,AUDIO,PLAY,SYS_CAUTION,
6502.50,2,9,2020-07-12...
So installing the SV-GPS-250 as a second GPS only adds the benefits of having a backup in the event of failure of the primary SV-GPS-2020?
Then, with only the SV-GPS-2020 installed, is there a way to specify a second different waypoint for Bearing Pointer 2?
What are advantages of installing a second GPS?
I do not have a NAV radio. The Skyview HDX users guide (pg 4-19), says that you can connect the two bearing pointers on HSI to any one of the nav sources in the system, and the bearing pointer will "point" at the "radio station or waypoint". It...
I am now having an issue. All of the A/P functions are working as advertised, but whenever the A/P is on I get continuous audible "Caution" messages over the intercom. They only last a split second, so I can never hit the message button fast enough to see the pop up window to see the details. It...
Six months later. I am now having another issue. All of the A/P functions are working as advertised, but whenever the A/P is on I get continuous audible "Caution" messages over the intercom. They only last a split second, so I can never hit the message button fast enough to see the pop up window...
I'm thinking that all I want to use this for is ro give me an aural indication of what would be optimum AOA for turning, just a safe margin below where the canard stalls on my Long EZ. I can test for that and then just file the end of the tube sticking out of the nose appropriately, to "tune"...
I have a Rutan Long EZ, (pusher). The pitot tube is a simple tube, cut flush with the pointed nose of the aircraft so that the cross sectional is normal (perpendicularly aligned) with the aircraft longitudinal reference line. As I understand it the AOA subsystem in the AHARS determines AOA by...
Yes, from the hub into one of the two network ports on the display. I needed it because I have AHARS, a separate Magnetometer (SV-MAG-236), SV-Com Panel (SV-COM-PANEL), and EMS (SV-EMS-220) so I needed a hub...
The AHARS and the SV-COM-PANEL use two of the ports on the hub, and the SV-MAG-236...
