    Dynon/AFS Oshkosh 2015: SV-GPS-2020 and much more!

    FWIW - I've found the SV-GPS-250 antenna will 'lock on' inside a steel hangar whereas the Garmin GTN, 400/500 & GX (Apollo) series Gps antennas will not. My GX60 (Tso 129A1) antenna works very well under the 1/2" foam fuselage top &, unless required to do otherwise, I will be mounting the new...

    Pin callouts for GTN650 ARINC429 and Intercom 2S

    You can make it either one, up to you. However if you have the Dynon as (displayed on SV) Com 1 you can use the database for entry of Com frequencies, that requires a current database but a lot don't do that here due cost. Jake J

    Autopilot swinging left/right

    When the shear screw breaks there can, & sometimes is, be some drag in the system caused by 1. the broken screw end 'dragging' against the servo arm & 2. the arm being held firmly by the arm screw (not shear screw) & nylon washer -with light ailerons the only way (at the moment) to confirm for...

    Autopilot swinging left/right

    thanks for being open about the result, I'm sure it could help others  :)  For me, a note to self - engage a/pilot & gently apply pressure on stick to move ailerons with someone to hold them, do not clamp them in place otherwise you can/will break the screw if it wasn't broken  ;) Jake J

    Pilot cancellable alarms

    Be careful what you ask for as it ends with bigger & bigger ( read more pages) install/ operating manuals which a lot won't bother to read anyway. ::) ;D Jake J

    Dynon Aoa pitot probe bracket

    21 years ago our aircraft had the tube mounted to the outboard inspection panel. FYI & to help others - Ever since I've been doing installation work I've always done the same to other aircraft as it works well & makes for easy removal of the whole tube, mount & associated heater module (which...

    A/P Servo Err on startup

    Steve I think you are correct. We had issues here with a SV TXPDR ocassionally transmitting incorrect (although the correct one was entered) Hex codes, the fix was to boot up the SV's first & then the Transponder. Seems like you're having the same sort of problem. For others reading this I'd...

    Do all measuring instrument need to be calibrated?

    I generally agree about the 'high' quality but let me give you 3 reasons why I'm cautious - 1. I can't afford to totally believe that what the instruments are saying is true - for example, too late to do anything if you have serious engine problems due under oil emp or pressure readings. 2. ...

    garmin696 and dynon autopilot

    Robert Yes to all, DSAB is via the wiring between the units. The install manual (always use the latest version) covers it all :) Jake J

    SV-XPNDR-261 not seeing IFD540 serial data

    Thanks Ian, I'm sure you guys are very busy & doing the best you can - some clients can't wait to get away from Garmin's monopoly position & use other manufacturers products ;) Jake J

    SV-XPNDR-261 not seeing IFD540 serial data

    " When we have the firmware later this year, you can update your SkyView, transponder, and then set the transponder to use the Avidyne format." DS - Can you guarantee you will have the firmware later this year as we have some aircraft ops that require them to be compliant by Feb 2016? :) Jake J

    SV-XPNDR-261 not seeing IFD540 serial data

    John I'm not familiar with the IFD units, yet, but did you connect to 2 serial outputs ie 1 for Aviation Out & a second one for the ADSB out to pin 3 of the -261 & configured for that ? If yes, then maybe it's a software issue between the -261 & IFD units ;) Jake J
