    TX POWER LOW (145)

    Oh yes, I've seen some wonderful examples over the years. I was particularly referring to getting someone that knew what they were doing to make the cable :)

    TX POWER LOW (145)

    I had a BNC 90 degree adapter do this to me recently with a new Garmin GTX345 installation. The GTX was brand new, new antenna cable, and the adapter was brand new out of the packet. It caused a 1030Mhz receive fail. Process of elimination revealed the adapter was at fault. It wasn't a cheapo...

    VFR check - transponder not locking onto squawk codes question

    I reckon you have an electrically noisy power supply. Voltage won't be an issue, as modern avionics (Dynon included) will run no problem between 11-33 volts. Weird things happening in a digital system is indicative of noise on the power supply. The fact it went away when you stopped using the...

    Need 2000 psi sender to measure gear system pressure?

    I use some Honeywell MLH series sensors on an AirTractor that give pretty precise pressure indications on the 5000psi hydraulic system using 0-6 volts. These, by the way, look exactly like the Kavlico sensors.

    OAT sensor reading ~50c low

    If I had to have a stab at it, I would say that when your D10A went for repair, they have upgraded the firmware, so now the D10A and the EDC have different firmware versions. Is your compass heading making sense?

    Vsi

    Go to EFIS setup, and then go to "style" Make sure it is set to "Modern" and not classic. This should be the fix.

    Can't close IFR plate once open

    I've had one screen do this. Unfortunately it had to go back to Dynon. Turn-around was quite fast though. Get in touch with support and get an RMA

    VOR CDi with IFD540

    What is your nav source selected to on the 540? Is VLOC source green on the upper right of your 540 screen when you are attempting VOR/ILS?

    Remote magnetometer drift

    I have mounted the magnetometer in the tail before, mounting it on a small shelf that spans the tail, attached to the mid stringer each side. Folded the edges for stiffness. I think I have a photo or two somewhere. On Cessna's, I have mounted it to a rib outboard of the fuel tank. Built a...

    D100 horizon doesn’t align with wings level

    The D100 has a remote compass module (Magnetometer). The ADAHRS system is inside the screen. Roll levelling is not adjustable, and is dependant on the screen being mounted level in the aircraft. Level the aircraft, then run a small spirit level or digital protractor across the top of the...

    Ammeter Gauge

    A good start would be : 12.5v Bottom of the green 14.5v Top of the green Pick whether you want amber or red above or below, but have a look at your aircraft/alternator/voltage regulator specs

    Ammeter erroneous reading

    If your shunt looks to be still OK and connections are all tight, have a look at the fuses that come off the shunt. There should be two. I have had these become intermittent and cause what you are seeing. The fuses are cheap, just put a couple of new ones in there, and clean the fuseholders up.

    Post Install - SV-COM-PANEL - No SV Error

    Hi Dan. I had the exact same error on a customers pretty new system in a Jabiru. Was intermittent, and then hard faulted. Dynon repaired it under warranty quite quickly.

    AOA Calibration

    If you haven't done the AoA calibration procedure, then you will have no indication on the SkyView for AoA at all. After you do the calibration, then the AoA widget will appear. The calibration procedure does seem simplistic, but it works. Follow the on screen instructions exactly during the...

    Fuel Gauge misreading?

    The Vans RV is similar. Even with 70 litre tanks, the fuel sender float tops out at about 55 litres, so that's where the fuel quantity system stops seeing a change in the signal during the fuel calibration. In this case, it will read 55+ with full tanks, even though it knows the tank capacity...

    Has anyone ever added a marine or non-aviation radio to the system

    I install commercial UHF radios in aircraft very often. They are used extensively here in Australia for mustering and station work, as well as marine UHF/VHF maritime work. I use a NAT AA34-300 commercial radio interface unit (now made by Cobham) to interface the mic, audio and PTT to aircraft...

    Max and Mim autopilot airspeed

    The inflight setup screen only takes up half the screen, as opposed to when you are on the ground where it takes the whole screen. You will still see the PFD with airspeed, altitude, etc, on the left hand side of the screen, and the setup window on the right.
