    A/P disappeared

    I had a similar problem and found it to be an intermittent where the power wire connected to the circuit breaker. I had separate power wires to the roll and pitch servos, but they were both connected to the same circuit breaker. I had checked the power several times and it was always good...

    You can certainly make your own with a couple of pieces of metal and a tap.

    What shop time for Classic to HDX upgrade are people seeing?

    Are they going to remove the panel and put new nut plates in? That might take some messing around. I did my own and I drilled the holes and used standard nuts for the new holes, but I was able to reach in the back and didn't have any panel removal issues. I'd bet you could almost use...

    Small size of AOA

    I want a separate display on top of the glare shield.

    ADAHRS and EMS failure

    In the 70's, I was a line foreman for a firm that made variable resistors. My experience at that time was the Mil-Spec or DESC and commercial resistors were built the same way by the same people using the same materials to the same standards but the DESC were 100% tested while the commercial...

    Caution Backup Battery

    The solution was to turn Reversion Mode to No. After that, the backup battery test proceeded perfectly all the way through. Before I installed 16.7.0, there was no problem with backup battery tests. After 16.7.0, the test would start and appear to run for a few minutes, then I'd get a blank...

    Caution Backup Battery

    I tried and can't seem to get the battery test to take.

    Caution Backup Battery

    My backup battery failed so I replaced it. I can't seem to get the display to cancel the Caution message. I've flown 6 hours since replacement. I read and believe I followed the manual.

    AP Panel Button Inconsistent

    Most recently, I was able to use the AP button to bring up the green AP symbol on the display while on the ground. I shut it off. In the air, the AP button would not work but the AP icon in the display menu worked, as stated above.

    AP Panel Button Inconsistent

    Even before the most recent software update, my AP Panel AP switch would sometimes not start the AP. I could invoke it through the menu on the HDX. Once functioning, other buttons on the AP Panel seemed to work normally.

    Version 16.7 software released

    I loaded HDX on one plane the other day no sweat. Loaded it on two HDX on other plane today. Had to download both HDX 10 versions and the system chose the right one on it's own. Both displays hung up after data base load and I had to shut them off and restart. Did this on 16.6, also. Right...

    Version 16.7 software released

    Going through the download process, one of the screens talks to the 16.6.0 rather than the 16.7.0. Works right, just an older subject line.

    Auto pilot panel - helpful for a VFR airplane?

    If $645, panel space and extra installation is not a deal breaker, I'd install it. I have an airplane that is IFR equipped and has the AP Panel. It's handy to push some buttons and get the desired effect. I have another airplane that does not have the AP Panel. I have to go into the SkyView...

    All inputs on Skyview locked up today.

    I have a dual HDX setup and have no such issues. My software is the one just previous to the new release. Which software have you installed?

    Bose A20 mic too sensitive for Skyview HDX

    I have two planes with HDX and I fly with LEMO headsets in both. A Bose A20 in one and a Lightspeed something in the other. I don't have the phenomenon you describe in either plane with either headset. I have 2 SV-COM 25s and Dual 10" HDX in the Lightspeed plane and one 10" HDX with I think...

    Is AOA Real?

    We're getting AOA as stall warning getting conflated with AOA as speed-to-fly (not in the glider term but in the sense of seeking efficiency).

    Is AOA Real?

    Is the AOA depicted by Dynon a real AOA, as one would expect from a vane input instrument, or is it a inferred or referred AOA based on differences in pitot and static (correction - should read "port") pressure? My bottom line question is can one fly the AOA? In a previous existence, I flew a...

    Map Info Setup HDX

    I'm thinking of how to set up the Map Info column. I understand it is largely personal preference, but am curious to know your setup to see if there are some good layouts I should emulate. My airplane is IFR capable, and I want to support that kind of mission, but I mostly fly VFR on shorter...

    What is this map page symbol?

    I read the "you" as an indefinite person, not the second person. Swatson999 might have phrased it as "we all should..." I didn't see "you" as being aimed at any one specific person. I will concur in the notion that is is a good idea for us all to download and read manual updates.
