I've noticed it here as well - running Windows 11 and Chrome

Yeah, a 200-knot glideslope capture might be problematic :p

They will - for a while - but they are prone to failure due to the internal copper braid current carrier flexing on each actuation. I've lost 2 in just over 1600 hours in my airplane. I'm not saying don't use them - I'm saying don't use them on flight-critical circuits. Anything you can't live...

The skyview network already has two data paths within each individual cable for redundancy, that covers you for a break in a wire or pin that takes out one data path (2 wires each in the 9-wire bundle), leaving the other data path valid and generating an error message on the Skyview telling you...

A very good question - think I'll play with that...

I've seen this before, several times. During the second set of updates, for the approach plates and diagrams, sometimes it stops updating the progress of the load on to the USB. The load is still happening - but you can't see the progress - go get a beer and sit on the porch for a bit and come...

Odds are high that this is a wiring problem on the flow sensor, rather than a physical sensor problem. The flow sensors are pretty robust - the wiring, not so much.

You're seeing the VFR version of VNAV that Dynon provides. This is a "glideslope" that can be coupled to the autopilot if you have one, or handflown, and provides a 2-degree descent rate to traffic pattern altitude of your destination airport. It looks identical to a glideslope presented from an...

I've had this before - and with one exception, it was because the USB stick itself was getting so hot it failed to function. In my experience the SanDisk Ultra 32gb 3.0 drives give the best performance, I have very few problems with them. The very small form factor USB sticks are great for...

Rename the cow "Ribeye".

Only if you purchase the airplane. If you build it yourself, you can obtain the Repairmans Certificate and sign off your own annual.

I don't even have an "assist" on my annual, I do it all myself including the signoff. My dentist is pretty good, too.

Likely you don't have enough voltage at the transponder - could be undersize wires, or a bad connection on either power or ground.

Kinda depends on your mission. If you are "IFR Lite" and don't mind cancelling a trip once in a while for true low ceilings where you are going, then sure the G175 will serve the great majority of your needs. Many RNAV approaches will not go below 400' ceilings, and you'll need a true ILS to get...

John has good advice above - I've lost an ADAHRS unit before, in flight. It happens. Something interesting occurs as well with the Dynon if your pitot ices up - your pitch horizon goes nuts for a minute or two as the system is "anticipating" what your airplane is supposed to be doing based on...

While accurate, that answer is not helpful for the question because it is incomplete. Certified aircraft are not allowed to use non-certified avionics, but experimental aircraft are. Exceptions apply such as IFR navigators, ELT's ,and transponders.

Yes, please define "can't get it to take". If the backup battery is not fully charged it will not allow you to start the test. The battery charges through SkyView, and needs full system voltage applied to the Skyview (greater than 12.25 volts) before the backup battery will begin to charge. You...

I believe you will need to repeat the backup battery test to remove that alert.

Same experience here with the procedure turns, using both the Garmin 430W and the Avidyne 440. The procedure turn is shown on the map of the navigator if you zoom in to that level, but does not display on the Dynon. The rest of the flight plan displays on the Dynon just fine, but apparently the...

There's no real substitute or shortcut for RTFM.
