I believe the autopilot will only capture the glideslope from below, not while above or descending through it.

Same reason I posted above. Different float senders may have different final output voltages at the top end of their travel. One of them reaches the limit of travel before the other one, thus a slight difference in output.

Unfortunately, the only way to get those unlocked is through the manufacturer, and they may be unwilling.

As the fuel indicator float rises, it finally reaches a point of maximum travel and any further fuel added after that does not change the indication on the output. Skyview knows how much fuel you have added and in what increments, and calculated that the float arm stopped travelling at 35...

You might want to rethink that installation - you don't want to have to undrill the wing skin to remove/replace a failed or plugged pitot tube.

Certainly you would need the current terrain map - though those don't change often, now do they? Obstacles - no. There are always obstacles - the purpose here is engine-out off airport landing opportunities. By the time you get down low enough to worry about the obstacles, you should already...

I would really like to see the glide ring take terrain into account (like Foreflight) rather than just draw a circular glide distance down in heavy terrain. We don't know if that ring is using the highest point, lowest point, average height, or something else to calculate how far out the ring...

Agreed. It's getting out of hand, time to take other steps.

More likely to be an antenna/coax problem.

Of course you won't have GPS approaches available to you, and those are by far the majority of IFR approaches now.

I had to repeat my AOA calibration and autopilot servo calibration, other than that everything else came across.

One reason that comes immediately to mind is that maybe those existing products are not quite as excellent as they could be, and their price is too high. If you can build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door.

To be perfectly clear - I have zero knowledge of anything Dynon is doing, or not doing, as far as producing a certified NAV receiver. Dynon has a long history of not talking about products at all until they are ready for release - and a large number of things that people ask for have not been...

Pretty much, yes. The FAA would need to review/approve the HDX and sprinkle it with magic FAA holy water and it will do just fine. That hasn't happened yet. The IFR and VFR navigation by GPS works the same way, it's just that to be approved for IFR you have to do a lot of continuous checking of...

Not without a certified NAV receiver to guide you. The HDX currently is not certified for IFR navigation, so you would need a certified IFR receiver to feed the navigation guidance signal to the HDX through an ARINC 429 box, then you can fly according to that data and be legal. The quality of...

The method mentioned by John above is probably the best way if you have limited space and don't have a compass rose - just taxi on a ramp area or fuel pump area and do the best you can. Then go fly - and do the airborne calibration which requires at least two 360-degree circles. In my experience...

I spent 3 years with dual 10" Classic and the last year and a half with HDX, and in my opinion yes it's absolutely worth the upgrade. I had reservations about it at first, but those have evaporated.

David you may know this - are the AP function values the same between the Skyview/D10? I'll be happy to share my values, but on the HDX it may not mean much.

Which update was this one - the current released two days ago or the one previous? I have had one occasion of this same problem a couple cycles back - but I updated 5 screens in three airplanes today with normal results.

Agreed - from your first photo, see the instructions on the screen - "ensure free range of motion" - that means hands and feet inside the car until the ride has come to a complete stop. Do nothing to interfere with the flight controls - see if they do their thing correctly.
