    Level feature pitching up

    If you are in simplified mode, then just press the "TRK+ALT" button. This will maintain your current track, and hold the altitude you are at. If you are in expert mode, then press "AP" and then "HDG" or "TRK", and "ALT HOLD" If you are new to the autopilot, I would suggest you put it in...

    No electric trim for A36 Bonanza,

    I retained an STEC electric trim system in a C210 HDX installation I did. Required some relays, but works really well as electric/auto trim

    Keying mic affecting cht’s

    I had this on a customers Glassair. When he keyed VHF, all the EGT's went up a hundred or so degrees. He would also lose satellites on his GNS430W The VHF 1 and 2 antenna coaxes had been routed inside wiring looms behind the panel and down through the centre. Also, the builder had used RG-58...

    adding AV30E (w/ AV-link WiFi) to Skyview w/ WiFi dongle

    Using the OAT probe with the AV-30 as an AH, gives you OAT, TAS and DH. Well worth the couple of hundred bucks for the probe.

    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...

    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...
