    Horrible Ratcheting Noise During Servo Test

    That's actually normal - the servos will run up against their limit and then "slip" - part of the design. The slip feature allows you to overpower a frozen or malfunctioning servo in flight.

    16.0.4 with Winds aloft fix has been posted!

    Magnetic calibration is required for a correct calculation of the winds. That's a "must-do" step.

    Shunt breakage

    Throw in an electrical issue in the air, with a little load-shedding activity and troubleshooting to see where the loose amps are getting out of the fence, and you might find that shunt to be more useful than before.

    Altitude hunting

    Try tapping your elevator trim just a touch off center to give it a little force to work against.

    Skyview Upgrades

    If the nutplate threads are too tight (subjectively) you can run a 6-32 tap through them to relieve that a bit. The old style Dynon screws with the hex inset head were notorious for stripping out with tight nutplates - I don't know how many I had remove with a dremel and flatblade screwdriver. I...

    XM weather

    Fair enough, I almost never fly at low altitudes, wasn't thinking about that scenario.

    You mean the one you have to pay for, versus the one you don't?

    Skyview HDX data recording

    It doesn't record to the drive automatically, but you can download the User Logs to the drive at the end of the flight to capture all the data. How much data and how far back depends on your settings - as fast as 16 times per second will record the last 2 hours of data, at once every 10 seconds...

    MAP showing RED X on power reduction

    I have seen the same behavior occasionally, if I pull the throttle all the way closed and the prop is driving the engine, resulting in MAP values around 4" or less, sometimes I'll get the Red X for a second or two. I have only seen this during a very low MAP scenario due to pulling the throttle...

    Auto Pilot Trim Wiring

    Correct, the stick switches are just tying a wire to ground for signal to the AP Panel, the AP Panel does all the switching.

    Wind component

    Did you also do the in-flight calibration? Or just the ground calibration? In-flight will get you a much tighter correlation.

    Wind component

    +1 on the compass calibration - it's the single most effective tool to solve your problem.

    Using the back of Skyview for wire support? (hear me out)

    As mentioned above, I would advise against it - it seems easy to get to it now but once the panel is in the plane you won't be able to remove the display from the panel with those wires attached.

    Sleep Alarm - Feature Request.

    If you're looking for something to keep you awake because you are too tired in the cockpit - I'm going to politely suggest you shouldn't be in the cockpit in the first place. This is a solution to a problem that should not exist.

    No TAF or METAR data

    I had the same problem for a few hours this morning, was cured up after lunch. Maybe the FAA finally got a chance to re-lick their cat.

    Autopilot not trasnitioning to descent in Vnav Mode

    Are you capturing the glideslope from below? It will not capture and follow the glideslope unless you intercept from below.
