I agree that default settings from the certification aircraft should be supplied. However, recognize that the fleet of C-172s varies widely on force and travel needed in the controls...both by model and age/wear/tear. Earlier models needed much less force and IIRC somewhat less travel than later...

I don't know the default pulse count for the Floscan, as I have the now stock EI red cube. However, the fuel flow at 1000 rpm idle is a bit higher, more like 2.6, with it being in the 2.5-3.5 range for taxi. With all fuel flow sensors the wiring connections are critical, and faston blade...

You need to perform the update to both screens. You will get the exact results you report if you only do the update to one screen. Only on navdata updates will the system update both and synchronize the database. It does not do that with firmware updates.

I ran into this problem with new SanDisk UltraFit 32 drive, formated to FAT32. Friend has 2 aircraft, one with Classic 10", one with HDX 10". With this drive neither system would boot with the drive inserted. However, I take drive to my system with 2 Classic 10" screens. No problem booting...

I agree that your 430W is not part of the problem. The poster is correct that ELTs can and do create problems without transmitting at all. However, most of those issues are caused by a strong VHF transmitter nearby, usually FM or TV, exciting the ELT oscillator. Clearly your problem is in the...

I prefer to keep the max bank angle at what equates to a standard rate turn at normal instrument approach speed. That way, if the autopilot is flying a holding pattern for me, or any other flight plan that needs any significant turn it isn't messing with my senses, and does what is expected IFR...

No need to change nav source. Keep it simple for non-pilot. Punching HDG and ALT buttons engages those modes and disables Nav mode. (it helps to have heading/track dialed close to what you want before engaging HDG/TRK) Punching ALT maintains current ALT, as opposed to using the up or down, which...

Unless there is something about the static port on the outside of airframe, that is where the connection should be made. Sometimes the surface prevents getting an airtight seal on suction cup, forcing connection inside. Some Cessnas have a problem with leakage between the static port inside the...

Most measurement devices are not a straight line proportionality, such that accuracy near the top and bottom of the scale has much higher percent error. I don't think you are going to find fuel tank sending units that are accurate to much better than the nearest 1/2 gallon, and even that is...

Make sure you change the Dynon transponder setup to show you receive both 978 and 1090, otherwise the ground stations are going to send you traffic that you are already seeing directly. When you had the 470 you would have set it to tell ground stations that you only received 978. Seeing your...

Hmm, somewhat like the guy that wants his fuel quantity displayed to the nearest tenth of a gallon. Digital readout does not get you digital precision and accuracy. Maybe it is more pleasing to dial in an exact integer, but it doesn't change the significant digits. Before we had glass panels...

Shouldn't make any difference. The screen would be useless on backup battery if GPS-250 wasn't powered from the screen. As I said, it would be unusual to wire it such that GPS-250 was powered separately.

Seems unusual to have GPS-250 powered separately from Skyview screen. In any case, all Dynon peripherals should be powered before doing any firmware updates. GPS-250 is used for Skyview screen view primarily because it communicates with the screen at 5 times per second, while I believe the ARINC...

Correct. It is either wiring or sensor itself. No way actual pressure would change as much or rapidly as I see. Vernatherm has zero to do with pressure, only whether oil goes to the oil cooler or bypasses it. Oil pressure relief valve is far more likely to stick open than closed. Kelly A&P/IA

Are you serious? If 5 ft makes a difference, you are pushing the WX to tightly. IF a DA, you will be dipping through it anyway on the missed. If MDA you can try to squeeze those extra single digit minimums, but unlikely to make one bit of difference. You will have the minimums on top of your...

Sensor is mounted on firewall. Yes, I see symptoms most every flight. Oil temp during occurrences ranges from 90 to 220, in other words not temp related. Will have to check on the connections, but problem didn't show up until about 240 hours flying.

For the past month I have seen my oil pressure will suddenly jump from 65 to well over 100. It happens too fast for it to be a real reading. My engine is Lycoming IO-540, 260 hp. I have the Kavlico sensors through the EMS module to Classic screens, with about 250 hours and 3 years on the system...

Interesting, this comment. I have been updating my 2 Classic displays with both powered up since about version 4.0. Yes, I get errors after the first display is updated, which I just ignore, and go ahead and update the second display. The only part that is annoying is that with the second...

Yes. I found that if I increased sensitivity to get IAS tracking to match the guide that it got twitchy and would porpoise and hunt on a glideslope, seeing some of it on the flight director bars. Returned the settings to close to default settings and it got better. Same for roll settings. It was...

I would prefer to see the fuel data send over the ARINC, as all of my serial ports are in use.
