Not the first time this has happened, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I am envisioning a computer server running in a closet of an abandoned flop house, maintained by a starving college student who occasionally goes on a weeklong bender and forgets he is supposed to have a job to do.

None of the above. To be clear, you must demonstrate it in my presence. :p

I was going to reply something along the lines of RTFM - but Kevin Eldridge? Nahhh, I'll cut him some slack, I watched him bail out of a burning airplane at Phoenix. Respect.

Contact Dynon with the serial number of your EMS, they may have a fix for that. The phone call is free. :cool:

So that's for the iPad crowd, I suppose.

It's not likely that your system is suddenly pulling that much power and the amperage reading is accurate - unless your system voltage is also sagging significantly during transmit - that's easy to verify. Much more likely that you're getting some stray RF into the EMS box that senses the shunt...

Sounds like one of these things is not like the others. I seem to recall Sesame Street doing a piece on that for 4-years olds...

Once you get it operating, very carefully log at each fillup how many gallons the system THINKS you need to fill to full, and how many you actually pump. After about a hundred gallons or so, do the math for the percentage increase/decrease and dial it in. A couple iterations of that and you'll...

Don't feed the trolls.

Do you have the AOA (Angle Of Attack) system active? Does the beeping continue through the rotation and then fade as you fly off the runway after a few seconds?

Ouch! RTFM has now gone to "look at the pretty pictures" 😄😄

It can be like herding cats, keeping them all in line where they belong.

Hmmm - internal memory battery failure? Is there one in the Skyview? I don't even know...

I would suspect you have a bug or some kind of blockage in the second line sensing AOA, not the main pitot tube line. It would give exactly the symptoms you describe.

Tell me about it. I'm still waiting for the promised auto-trim functionality on the 172R/S models for their STC'd autopilot install - 5 years after installation. The "after-the-sale" support is somewhat lacking.

Yep, go back to standard TOD mental gymnastics. In my RV9A for instance I usually come down at 1000fpm, covering about 3 miles per minute, if I need to drop 9000' it will take 27 miles.

For troubleshooting or fault-finding, I agree that more is always better - but reality is that we cannot instrument everything to the maximum degree possible in our aircraft. From an operations standpoint, I don't care if one or two (or three) of the autopilot servos have a problem in flight -...

You're going to enjoy this STC. One issue you should be prepared for is some fishtailing on the AP holding heading, there is a procedure available from Dynon for in-flight autopilot tuning and once we went through that a few times we had it pretty much knocked down.

Yup, welcome to the frustrating world of intermittent electrical faults. Hardest thing to diagnose/find.
