Swapping screens would be my next go to as well. Even if it does not resolve it, it will give you further insight as to where to trouble shoot going forward.

My money's on the Harley……. 🏍️

Looks great! Very well thought out. If you someday get the itch to upgrade a little more, you might look into if a Garmin G5 would fit into space now used by the D3. While the backup battery is 'only' good for 4 hours, you gain the advantage of actual (vs. GPS) pitot static information, as...

Got it. I don't know about the grip I see in your video, but my Infinity grips come with a clearly stated requirement that comparatively high loads (for the very light internal components) like trim motors be controlled thru a relay deck. The hat switch in the grip controls the relay(s), the...

Hi Charlie- I've been following this thread with great interest, and can feel your frustration. After seeing your post re the loaner AP head exhibiting *identical* problems to your own AP panel, clearly the situation is either some arcane electromagnetic feedback of some sort from the Strong...

It would cost the price of both, but unless the certified STC say exactly where the D10A has to be mounted, you could put it on the right side of the panel in front of the right seater, and mount an AV-30 where it would best fit into your scan were your HDX to actually have a problem in flight.

Prior to firmware 16.x.x, twin engine airplanes had to display each engine's data on a separate screen. In order to get alerts generated for both engines, both screen's audio needed to be connected to audio panel. I haven't installed 16.x yet, so not sure how engine data alerts work for the...

Perhaps the solution, then, is an airplane with a propeller on each end. I've routinely used airspeed mode for both climbs and descents in my Defiant with excellent results, less than 1 to 2 kt speed drift, max. And that's without running the manual's AP tuning procedure. A typical cruise...

Just another possibility re the "SB" label: I've also see the SB pointer in my bearing pointer display which is being fed via an SL30 emulation. When displayed, it does not provide any information. It acts like it has no signal. I always assumed the emulation just was not up to the task...

Yup. Canards rule. Thanks for enlightening me re Garmin methodology. I've seen ads for the older 430 and 530 units making a big deal about having unusual looking data cards included, but I guess that's one "profit center" Garmin found harder and harder to justify. As I said above, I was...

I realize this is rabbit tracking somewhat, but I'd like to understand if Garmin users have the same option that Avidyne users do, to subscribe to just data updates, and not the Jepp charts (pictures). It doesn't save a ton of money, but every bit helps. Perhaps someone here might be kind...

Hi Charlie- My setup is not quite the same as yours, but it is analogous. I have an Avidyne IFD540 feeding flight plans to Skyview thru the SV-ARINC-429 box. I was also lucky enough to purchase one of SA's lifetime chart subscriptions before they quit selling them. I'm unfamiliar w/ how the...

It's been a while since I tried that. I seem to recall it did, but can't guarantee it. Since I installed my IFD540 a couple of years ago, with its own database & auto switch (GPS approach to ILS final) the NAV 16 became a back up. The one thing I never figured out how to do was to get the...

I have that system in my plane. The entire remote nav radio is the size of a medium paperback book and has NAV / GS splitter built in. The Vega tuning head needs a 2 1/4" hole. As mentioned, it talks to Skyview via one of the RS232 ports by emulating an SL30. Both VOR and ILS display...

Some of the more sophisticated battery chargers have built in power supply modes. The NOCO Genius charger I use has modes to charge traditional 12 volt wet cell, gel cell, AGM, an even Lithium batteries. It also has a power supply mode that provides 13.6 volts @ 5 amps, which is plenty for...

That's one of the reasons I chose a G5 for my standby attitude indicator. Virtually every other candidate available at the time - including the D10 - would not fit in the space available. Some of the newer round choices that live within a 3 1/4" hole cram a lot of information into a *very*...

Back before EFIS, many pilots learning to fly IFR found that flying 'partial panel' was one of the toughest skills to master. Instructors often advised students to carry devices - anything from special 3" suction cups to something as simple a pad of 'sticky notes' - to cover up instruments that...

Apologies for reviving this thread, but I'd like to get as firm as possible understanding of what I should expect to see on my Skyview screens in flight in a situation like this: I just finished reading an article about a recent persistent GPS interference / outage event centered around the...

Glad to help. Whether or not you choose to have approach plates and / or enroute charts available as a backup on your center screen is entirely up to you. The only cost to you is that of the 3rd flash drive and the time to load it. Do note, however, that should you choose to not have a...

Meaning no disrespect, at the risk of asking a too-obvious question: Are you aware that EACH screen must have its own, individual usb drive with the SA chart data? Each usb port must be connected to the screen on which you expect to display SA charts. It only requires one SA chart...
