Neither if those references clearly state which Nav sources this option works with. Using the phrases INPUT 1 & INPUT 2 confuses the issue because it can be read to mean that only Nav sources feeding data thriugh the same ARINC-429 will be affected by this setting, i.e., that switching the...

Had exactly the same issue with my O-320 when I first installed p-Mags. They provide spark plug pulse at top of power stroke and at top of exhaust stroke, so you get two pulses every revolution, instead of only one. The extra spark plug pulse at the top of the exhaust stroke apparently doesn't...

I also was confused by this. I set it to "Yes", but was surprised when I went to Flight plan menu and could not switch the Nav source from the external GPS navigator, (I have a Garmin GPS 175), to the Dynon Skyview GPS. When I switched the CDI source back and forth, the Flight Plan Source...

Too bad there's not a wire on the Skyview harness thst you could hook up to a rheostat mounted in your panel that would remotely control volume on the selected radio, without a control head, like you can with Skyview display brightness.

Your question makes me wonder if I am misinterpreting some other behavioral aspect of this. I have asked Don Jones at Dynon in another thread...

Don, will it also change the CDI nav source to an ILS Localizer signal from an ILS receiver on a serial port, if it uses the SL30 protocol, (like an SL30, or a VAL NAV 2000)? Or does it only work with ILS signals in the same box as the GPS, on the same ARINC-429?

Ahh, my VAL Nav 2000 also uses a serial port. The setting I am talking about on the ARCINC-429 is for the Garmin GPS 175 / GNX 375 / GNC 355. The only requirement for this to function as I described is the the Nav receiver on the serial port has to communicate using the SL30 protocol. Don't be...

If I understand your issue, you are talking about shooting an ILS approach on the Trig 56 X at the destination airport which is the last waypoint on a flight plan from the Garmin GNC 355, right? If not, exactly what scenario are you interested in? Remember, you can change the Nav Source for one...

Found the TIE FLIGHT PLAN TO HSI SRC setting. It was set to No. Set it to YES, and everything now works as I expected.

Easy to get them in, getting them out is the problem. 😉

Yes, I'm about to go do that, - Weather permitting, probably tomorrow.

I just installed the Garmin GPS 175 in my panel. I have a Skyview HDX with Dynon Autopilot. Can someone please direct me to where in the users manual or the installation manual I can find the various configuration settings (other than the ARINC-429 settings), necessary to use the flight plans...

Never mind, I think I found it... On page 12-10 of the Skyview Installation manual (Rev AJ), last two-line paragraph, it says: I'm not sure, but I think if this is set to yes, then you would only have to select the GPS 175 as the source for the HSI (which would be used for the Autopilot) and...

Is setting the ALLOW AUTO SWITCH setting to YES (LABEL100) all that is necessary in order to get the GPS 175 to automatically inject flight plans, (and changes to flight plans), including waypoints and specified approach procedures into the Skyview flight plan? ... or is there another setting...

No, Auto-Trim itself is not causing this. Using the A/P panel to control manual trim is causing this. And I did not disconnect the A/P panel completely, I just disconnected the db15 connector from the A/P panel. The db15 connector only connects to the manual trim switches, (normally a hat...

Yes you got it now. I did not remove A/P panel. I just disconnected its Db15 pin (used for auto-trim functionality). Then, to wire up the trim motor myself, I added the relays cause without using the trim functions in the A/P panel, the relays are needed for trim motor to work in both directions.

Sorry, not sure what you mean. You need the relays because the hat switch only has one ground, and one positive output when you push the switch forward for nose down trim, and a second (also positive) output when you pull the switch back (nose up). But the motor only has two wires going into...

One correction, i did not put relays between the A/P panel and the motor. I just took the A/ P panel out of the pitch trim circuit completely. I put the relays between the hat switch on the stick and the motor, eliminating the functions like auto-trim that the A/P panel provides (I needed the...

Christ, that's a good idea. I should have thought of that. And it will not be hard to set up... This is why owning one of these is a humbling experience! As to alien intervention, do you know someone you can recommend?

Marc, You are correct, and my experience with their techs on the phone has at times (infrequently, I would add), not been entirely awe-inspiring. Although I will check the db-15 wiring again, (carefully), before I consider sending the AP panel back again, I do need to keep that option open in...
