Have you ever seen those problems without the engine running? Try shutting off the alternator field after engine start, and see if that affects the problem. All those components, if mounted on the engine, are relying on a good ground from the engine back to the battery. If that ground is not...

In that particular case, no it cannot. Skyview will display information from a single outside source, screen selectable. It can follow it's own VFR gps guidance, or follow any outside device that feeds CDI guidance, but only one source at a time. In your case of a G175 navigator (which is GPS...

Yep, I'm still waiting on the promised auto-trim module for the STC'd install in our 172 from FIVE YEARS ago.

Don Jones personally promised me in Spring 2020 that I would have the "autotrim" module for the Cessna 172 R autopilot before the end of the year, so we pulled the trigger on the STC install that happened in May 2020 for our 172 tail number 2451N performed by Jesse Saint at their certified...

That data would not be coming from the Skyview, it is sourced from the certified IFR navigator that feeds the CDI data to Skyview.

Not the first time this has happened, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I am envisioning a computer server running in a closet of an abandoned flop house, maintained by a starving college student who occasionally goes on a weeklong bender and forgets he is supposed to have a job to do.

None of the above. To be clear, you must demonstrate it in my presence. :p

I was going to reply something along the lines of RTFM - but Kevin Eldridge? Nahhh, I'll cut him some slack, I watched him bail out of a burning airplane at Phoenix. Respect.

Contact Dynon with the serial number of your EMS, they may have a fix for that. The phone call is free. :cool:

So that's for the iPad crowd, I suppose.

It's not likely that your system is suddenly pulling that much power and the amperage reading is accurate - unless your system voltage is also sagging significantly during transmit - that's easy to verify. Much more likely that you're getting some stray RF into the EMS box that senses the shunt...

Sounds like one of these things is not like the others. I seem to recall Sesame Street doing a piece on that for 4-years olds...

Once you get it operating, very carefully log at each fillup how many gallons the system THINKS you need to fill to full, and how many you actually pump. After about a hundred gallons or so, do the math for the percentage increase/decrease and dial it in. A couple iterations of that and you'll...

Don't feed the trolls.

Do you have the AOA (Angle Of Attack) system active? Does the beeping continue through the rotation and then fade as you fly off the runway after a few seconds?

Ouch! RTFM has now gone to "look at the pretty pictures" 😄😄

It can be like herding cats, keeping them all in line where they belong.

Hmmm - internal memory battery failure? Is there one in the Skyview? I don't even know...

I would suspect you have a bug or some kind of blockage in the second line sensing AOA, not the main pitot tube line. It would give exactly the symptoms you describe.

Tell me about it. I'm still waiting for the promised auto-trim functionality on the 172R/S models for their STC'd autopilot install - 5 years after installation. The "after-the-sale" support is somewhat lacking.
