    ADS-B PARTIAL

    You are using the 470, not the 472, correct? I'm not sure you'll have the same upgrade path available for the firmware on the 470, which was discontinued many years ago and replaced with the 472.

    1+2+5 doesn't reboot HDX Screens (RESOLVED)

    Interesting, good to know. Thanks for reporting back.

    Green Arrow

    That's getting into the arena of an instrument approach, giving guidance all the way to the runway. Unlikely you'll get that from Dynon.

    SA Chart Data

    Yep, for VFR only work, there are other options.

    Dynon Nav Data Update

    Actually if you use Seattle Avionics database manager to update your charts on the USB sticks, it does now include the latest obstacle database from Dynon. That's a relatively recent change, maybe the last year.

    Plead Tach reading on new EMS install

    From the install manual - Tachometer pulses/revolution are set in the Engine Information Wizard – SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > EMS CALIBRATION > TACHOMETER CALIBRATION.

    Same here with the GPS 1 message, no clue as to how/why/who/when/where

    K Factor on Fuel Flow

    Agreed - I typically fill within .1 to .2 of what the fuel computer thinks I will need.

    What is the better IFR navigator to interface with Dynon HDX?

    Garmin is shuttering their 430/530 line. I replaced my 430W with Avidyne IFD440 a few years ago and absolutely love it - the user interface with Avidyne is so much better than Garmin. Any of them will interface with the ARINC-429 device to feed nav data to the Dynon - but you really want to...

    Ongoing problem

    What specifically is showing up with red X's? Can you post a picture of it?

    ARINC-429 Offline

    You've replaced the ARINC itself, and the data cables in/out - what about the power and ground? Verify those are good, including any breaker/switch the power is coming from.

    K Factor on Fuel Flow

    And MikeD brings in RTFM for the ultimate win! :p

    K Factor on Fuel Flow

    I was thinking (memory) that the default was 68000 for the K-factor. Either one will get you in the ballpark and let you adjust from there. Now fill the tanks completely full and go fly. The longer the better, burn as much fuel out of the tanks as you are comfortable with, landing near empty...

    K Factor on Fuel Flow

    If the K-factor was working and accurate before, it will still be. The K-factor is an adjustment to how the device measures fuel flow, if you get it accurate at a lower fuel flow (150hp) it will still be accurate at a higher fuel flow (180hp).

    SA database problem with cycle 2401 - updated (resolved by SA)

    As compared to the certified world, and something built by a major company like... say... Boeing? :cool:

    Auto pilot panel - helpful for a VFR airplane?

    And the auto-trim is FANTASTIC. :cool:

    Auto pilot panel - helpful for a VFR airplane?

    It's certainly nice to have - I used the on-screen autopilot controls with my Skyview Classics several hundred hours before upgrading to HDX, with the AP Panel and dedicated knob panel, at the same time I got my IFR ticket. Now for IFR flying, man it's the berries, great stuff, wouldn't have it...

    Form factor and Standby displays.

    That's an admirable thought, and one that I share - but I also think real hard about having a completely separate source of data in the case of failure. The Dynon system has redundancy built in, but it still is run by the same software code internally on all the devices and the possibility...

    Now For A Small Problem

    I'm not a fan of putting 27 different "push to acknowledge" warnings on the bootup. They all tend to get ignored, and that only helps the lawyers in court after the crash. If the statement in the manual is not clear, then clarify that statement and enforce RTFM for the pilot, that's the proper way.
