Bob, I am coming right off my Green "down and locked" light with a wire that goes directly into the EMS. If it is not high, the gear must be up. The indicator light in the HDX is either amber or green. Go to tinyurl.com/177rg, then "Avionics", and under the features list (but before the...

Rent a hangar, move autopilot certification to KS. Staff with stolen Garmin employees. Use their processes and the same FAA stakeholders. Then, if certification doesn't progress along with their competitors, they should be able to understand why. Unless there is something we don't know about...

The STEC 3100 now has over 100 planes on their AML and the Garmin GFC 500 has at least 100 with more in the works, with new approvals announced often. Both brought their autopilots to market around the same time as the HDX system. The FAA is approving autopilots, just not Dynon autopilots.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

Where does it say that plugging something into a Dynon USB port violates the STC? I keep hearing that Video and other connections aren't approved, but the Certified installation documentation talks about WI-FI, as well as Video, and that's plenty good enough for me. I don't think it's a matter...

I am extremely jealous. Thinking about moving to Australia and bringing my Cardinal.

Mick, I used powerpoint to document my avionics modifications/installations and this is the page for the E-04. Strictly my DIY, Dynon/ACK had no knowledge of it.

The picture shows a Dynon autopilot (at least the panel) installed in what appears to be a 210. Was this a one-off?

I don't believe any individual writing a congressman (unless the congressman is Jim Inhofe) will have any impact. We are such a small group that even together through AOPA, EAA, et. al., we have no voice, and getting anything done is like pulling teeth. I have been very disappointed with our...

Yes. I am doing it. I spoke with Dynon when I was planning and they said no problem for the amount of current draw, even when the HDX is running on the backup battery. This is the best way to power an ELT, for the reasons you state. Also, I am certificated (177RG).

Thanks FM. I know it'll utilize the heading bug and that's great, but my Navomatic, designed 50 years ago would do that too. To get the most out of the system, I'd want all the other bugs too such as altitude, rate of climb/dive, airspeed, etc., to feed the autopilot, and I'd want all source...

One thing I am not sure of and that I would need to know before writing congress or anyone else... Why did you miss Q3? Or any of the other missed dates? In your June 29 post, you mention Covid. Your competitor had the same issue yet they managed to add to their AML. You mentioned the 737...

A Cardinal Flyers forum member called your competitor to inquire if the 177A was on their radar. He got this back: "I spoke to the guy that is making those decisions. He said the 177 and 177A will get certified. Best guess is 1.5-2 years. It is #10 on the list." Your competitor is not giving...

Even if it is low confidence, please continue to post a best guess, for reasons stated below. Please publish future aircraft models on as long a timeline as possible. You should already have the fleet rank ordered for, I would think, at least the next three years. This would be a tremendous...

It is discouraging for those of us with Skyview systems installed sans autopilot. STEC talks about their 3100 certification process with statements like, "“In less than 10 months, we were able to certify the 3100 in more than 100 airframes...". Garmin has a long list of planes the GFC500 can...

Thanks Don. I kinda thought I'd have to do that but wanted to keep it as a non caution/warning color.

I am monitoring my Landing Gear Pump motor with EMS37-P11, and when the pump runs, it turns the widget BLUE on the HDX. Works fine. I'd like to also get an audio tone, chime, or other headset message when the pump is running. Is this possible? c37_p11={ valid=1 name=GRPUMP...

Thanks Brent. I love it but sure wish I could get rid of that blank panel.

Hey, I got a blank panel just like yours!

Well said Brent. I would also pay a lot more for the Dynon autopilot than what is being asked presently. The other option for my 177RG, a Bendix/King (Trutrak), doesn't have the features of the Dynon, but costs quite a bit more and would require a lot more labor to install. I've seen a change...
