Great, thanks. Is there a way to see this resolution other than via a Skyview unit ? Jake J

GX serial out will provide a pseudo CDI/HSI - check the configs on both systems ;) Jake J

I'm with you Matt. In our part of the world (or any place other than the USA) there are issues with Terrain and SynVis (applies to most manufacturers) that's why I advise against diving in and buying early due to the unknown issues that could exist with software as well and therefore the higher...

Peter "if you are outside of the USA, you need to go and download terrain for your area. There is a low-res base map for the whole world (you know, the same resolution many systems use as their high-res stuff Wink ) but the high-res is so large we can't fit the whole world on one system. We...

Jaba-who What is happening is 'normal' however the amount of 'hunting' can be mitigated by changing the gain setting - applies to most autopilots when using only a serial datastream, not Arinc or GPSS. HTH Jake J OZ

Re: Brand new AP74 fw update from 5.1.1 to 5.2 iss David Didn't you say your system was working purrrfectly before vers 5.2 ? :D Jake J OZ

Ken Can you PM me ? - I can go over a few things before posting the results. Jake J OZ

Does this happen often for a open to occur on new installations? I was wondering if I had some kind of engine problem that caused this on second engine start? In a word, no :-) I've done many installations and found only 1 sensor DOA. Jake J

David The 'problem' with the EGT/CHT wires is the inherent stiffness in them - I now (have done many installations) always remove the backshell and force the wires towards the dsub connector - in a way this gives some flexibility in the loom.   To demonstrate what I'm saying is the problem...

It has been grounded so far with a wire running from the engine and held tight on the casing of the sensor by the clamp. Atar That should work however I'd use one of the ground wires direct from the Dynon - always has worked for me  ;) Jake J

I'd check the connections on the CHT - recheck the pins at the 25dsub, that is where some problems emanate from. If you flex the loom while looking at the oins you'll find that they can move in and out sometimes resulting in a poor connection. Also check the coonectors near the probe - the...

Not so clear but, yes. Jake J

Dean Why don't you give me a call, after all I'm in the same city ? Jake J

You could use a biased switch so that the amps show for #2 Alt and momentarily hold the switch for checking #1 Alt. So this situation will result in the Dynon showing system volts ( from 1 & 2 alt) however the Alternator warning light (on #1) will indicate a failure and the Amps indication...

Wouldn't surprise me if Garmin is discontinuing the 296/396 ;) Jake J

Normally you don't need a separate static connection, just tee into what you have.  However not all static systems are equal ie there can be variances in the system whether they be builder induced or be a product of the aircraft design.   A simple check, and this applies to all Alt Hold...

"First things firts. - the disconnect switch was a normally closed one, so I did not replaced it." Hi Alex, Your comment above - the switch has to be a normally open (N.O.) type. ie when you press it, it makes contact. Not sure if you understood that :) Jake J

c) verify if I have the 'disconnect' switch - check that it IS a 'normally open' MOM type. Because they (jakej) say that: “…If it is a 'normally closed' one you can complete the calibration BUT the servos won't move when final system test is done…” Alex The MOM switch issue happened to...

Re: Problem installing Autopilot on EFIS D100, AP7 Alex Do you have the 'disconnect' switch - check that it IS a 'normally open' MOM type. If it is a 'normally closed' one you can complete the calibration BUT the servos won't move when final system test is done. Jake J

Re: Setup Procedures for Garmin 300, SL-30, GTX-32 Lan - thanks for your reply re various avionics connections. BTW - due to some other interface issues I did some checking with Garmin AT re SL 30 outputs - it can do the serial and analog at the same time ie I'm running SL30 serial to D100 and...
