    Dynon and Avidyne IFD

    This thread popped up when looking to see if the Dynon could control the avidyne radios. Got to thinking recently if Dynon ever got the autopilot for the pa32, I'd like to put in an ifd 550 to go a long with the ifd440 for redundancy and the larger form factor. BUT....I don't want to lose the...

    Backup Battery not holding charge?

    Sounds like the battery has gone tango uniform. If it's ever been completely drained somehow it's pretty well toast. Wonder if there's a parasitic draw somewhere or even a loose connection

    Airmate download manager problems

    Anyone else having issues with the airmate download manager? I had it on my windows 10 pro for 9 months and no problems. Then tried to update one month, tried to launch the app and I get a white box with a spinning cursor. Have to force close the app. Installed on my other office computer, and...

    ADAHRS and EMS failure

    Mil spec is just a marketing buzzword for people that think it's good. It's a minimum acceptable quality the military has established. Doesn't mean it's good.

    Fargo

    Regardless what Fargo is for, it is fantastic news someone is competitive enough with G to expand.

    OK Now I have 2 Autopilot installs working at the same time :-)

    But they could still market the approval of the autopilot even if they're not the STC holder. After all, isn't EAA the STC holder for the HDX?

    https://www.bendixking.com/en/products/ai/autopilots-and-indicators/aerocruze-100 I hope it is approved for the Mooney. But why wouldnt BK list that on their site? This really shouldn't be confusing and an AML shouldn't be hard to find.

    Frankly I have no Idea what was slander in my comment. If I made a false statement, please correct me. Its why I asked if something changed in my original post. I was in no way insinuating you didn't have the ability to pull off the install. Merely questioning how in a certified craft given the...

    Edited as I did look for the AML. Mooney wasn't listed on BK's site. Pacific coast says STC pending for the mooney. I thought thats why all the Mooney drivers wanted the dynon. Don't think I've ever been called a troll by someone with a more recent join date and fewer posts than me. I wish you...

    So you're installing the BK Aerocruze 100 in a short body Mooney despite it not being on the AML? Or did something change? BK is not listing the mooney anywhere but I do see the manual to install it?

    Dynon Training Options

    My cfi asked for a simulator app so he could learn it at home. From the little he's flown with it, he really likes it.

    Fluctuating RPM

    Don't remember this issue previously. But getting some pretty drastic rpm fluctuations. Thought it was a loose connection but it showed up again. Fluctuations go from 2850-2200 pretty rapidly. Plane didn't fly much from July until it was flown to annual and that's where I first saw the...

    Autopilot certification PA-24

    Lol. "Next Piper Single"....ummm only piper single... The pa28 isn't just a Cherokee. Warrior, archer, Dakota, Arrow...a whole lot more pa28's than 32's...but 32 owners are more likely to be keeping their birds for a long time. I should know...I have both a Cherokee 180 (mine) and a Cherokee...

    Fuel tank timer

    Good idea. Didnt know I could set an alarm that way.

    Fuel tank timer

    You could manually start the timer for the tank you were on. Fuel pump on. Switch tank. Tap fuel gauge for that tank, start timer. Fuel pump off. Wasn't trying to reinvent things.

    Fuel tank timer

    No no. A timer that would show total time I've pulled off of each tank. Not a countdown of fuel remaining.

    Fuel tank timer

    I know there's an overall timer. But as an owner of a 4 tank pa32, i think it would be a really neat way to cross check not only the sender but my own notes if there was a way to have a timer shown above the quantity for each tank. Plus not having the expensive cies senders and not being able to...

    Monthly update not working

    Same here. I just assumed it was because I didn't update Europe or something.

    Mooney Autopilot

    From Dynon when this was brought up before we TRULY WISH an A&P/IA, avionics team/shop, and DAR were enough of an assist to make a dent here. We'd be farming projects out in droves. In reality, the complexities of autopilot design require deep mechanical engineering expertise, analysis, SkyView...

    Mooney Autopilot

    Dynon has been pretty forthcoming in buying something else if youre waiting for an autopilot approval. I can commend that. Now, if what Jesse said was accurate ( and I believe it to be), it would be nice to hear from dynon...just to nip these discussions in the bud before they even start. You...
