The frequency entry panels on my Dynon radios are pretty dark. The numbers do not have good contrast so I'm continuously squinting and sometimes just counting clicks to be sure I'm on the right frequency. I don't like this and am looking for ways to get better contrast or definition of the...

Can I use the VSI indicator on SkyView D1000T to optimize my pitch trim setting in auto pilot mode? I have SkyView D1000T on my Flight Design CTSW which has manual three-axis trim. Imagine a scenario in which I climb in autopilot to cruise altitude whereupon the AP levels the plane...

The EMS switch fixed my EGT spike problem.

I had missed this information before and it is almost certainly the reason I couldn't seem to upload Dynon databases because I always leave the Seattle sticks in the panel! Duh!

I'm sure you detected that I spoke of setting the Rotax 912ULS up to run LOP with tongue in cheek. I guess you can call the Rotax 912ULS an ROP engine. It uses Bing 64 carbs which are constant velocity carburetors and thus it internally adjusts fuel flow to match air velocity up until it runs...

David, your comments lead me to do some more research and I ended up back at references and research at GAMI and with Mike Busch. Thanks for prodding me to refresh my memory. I'm satisfied that I know how and why I am going smoothly and quickly through peak EGT and I will no longer discuss it...

Since peak is an undesirable state and one doesn't want to go through it slowly, why go through it quickly and then go back to it as a reference point before going LOP again? It's been 10 years since I ran LOP in a Continental IO540, so my experience may be dated and i am not trying to advise...

I'm going to follow this thread because after reading pages 5-4 and 5-5 of the user's manual, I don't understand what the OP is asking and I'm not sure I understand or agree with the response. Does it matter what engine is under discussion? "To exit the Lean mode, press LEAN again; the EGT/CHT...

Didn't you post this question in another section? I'm confused. If it is the same question, I'll give the same suggestion. Consider re-running the AP configuration process.

Isn't checking the disconnect button part of the configuration? Would it do any harm to re-run the AP configuration and see if that helped the problem?

I had GAMI injectors in my Cessna T210M. At first, I religiously went through the leaning procedure. I learned that after I knew my goals and was comfortable, the fastest and cleanest way to do the "big pull" was to watch fuel flow. I'd simply pull until the fuel flow was where I knew I...

Your suggestion gave me some impetus and I was able to figure it out. Thank you.

Thanks - I'll follow up on that suggestion.

I have dual 10" SVD1000T and the Garmin GTN625. I do not get the option to select the 625 in the window near the HSI icon. I used to get the option for SV or the GTN and for some reason it is not present now. I suspect I made a setting entry in error but I've looked in the manual and have...

David, Please don't preach to me about IFR. I have a lot of turbine and jet charter time and have flown in very significant IMC. In the US, "hard IFR" is a slang phrase which means in IMC, perhaps with some turbulence, and maybe the chance of ice, for some period of time. I used the term...

I have two SkyView SVD1000T and a Garmin GTN625. I am interested in a tablet based EFB and flight planner that will let me export flight plans to both the displays. I run android and WILL NOT run iOS. I have used Fltplan.com for many years and am somewhat familiar with Fltplan Go. I use WingX...

Page 7-51 of the current Users Guide says to use the below URL to see programs that will let you import and export programs in the GPX format. The URL page has no information on it. It would be nice to have this information in one page so one doesn't have to search for it...

I find the secondary frequency panel is so dim it is hard to see the frequency one is setting. I don't see in the manual a way to adjust the brightness.

"the right equipment which includes but not limited to, heated pitot, " A heated pitot may be considered desirable but for part 91 operations in the U.S. it is not mandatory. FAA FAR 91.205(d)

Thanks for the education. AT 76 years of age and after 30 years in the military and 40 years in aviation, this is the first time I've EVER heard of "read the FACTORY manual". Obviously, many of us have not gotten the word so the point is still clear - be careful how you use RTFM because...
