I have the full Skyview Classic suite in my 9A, with a Garmin 430W feeding the Dynon ARINC-429 for IFR nav data. It works like a charm in GPS mode but I don't get anything at all in VLOC mode. Is there something you can recommend as a starting point for troubleshooting? ILS reception is evident...
No, this was SA-induced. They did not have the data available for download. I just got an email from SA timestamped 2:35pm Central this afternoon that the data is now released for download.
It says they "discovered a problem".... yeah - I did too.
And now an update on this situation - I just uninstalled the data manager, deleted all the files and folders, rebooted, re-installed the data manager fresh from the SA website, and it's downloading data - all dated to expire tomorrow. No "next cycle" data available.
F'ing fabulous. Is SA run...
And now this morning my system won't even recognize new charts at all - my datamanager refuses to see new data from SA and all my stuff is set to expire tomorrow.
Fabulous. Dynon, there just has to be a better way...
...right... because no pilot, ever, in the history of ever, has ever flown under VFR or NORDO in IMC. Right?
right? Surely not... Because, you know, that would be against the rules 'n stuff....
When flying with an instrument approach plate up in place of the map screen, will ADSB traffic appear geo-referenced on the approach plate as it does in the map?
I'm doing this exact thing right now, pursuing my IFR in a 9A with Skyview. I found that my coupled LPV approaches did the same thing if I flew them 90-100 knots with zero flaps. I dropped 10 degrees of flaps and flew it a 90 knots, and the performance is much better. On a whim I dropped 20...
I'm electrically dependent, with dual alternators and a single ETX-900VNT battery. I operate off the primary alternator as standard ops, but I always check the backup alternator for output during the runup. Occasionally in flight I will go to the backup alternator for 30 minutes or so just to...
For what it's worth, I use the Sandisk Cruzer 16GB sticks, never had a problem with them, including with the latest software.
USB sticks are pretty much commodity-priced at this point, you might want to find one that works and stick with it.
I've got a 172 waiting for the Dynon STC but your Dallas-based installer is not yet giving any slots. We'll be at Oshkosh hoping for a sign-up sheet...
"not as comprehensive in coverage" - that's an understatement! Out here in flyover country you can forget about it unless you want to head to the "big city".
