    Autopilot disconnects after 60 seconds - new install, AFS panel

    Yep - you've got a wire shorting to ground somewhere. You've identified the culprit, that's the easy part - now you have to FIND and fix it. Good luck...

    ARINC-429 dropouts are still a problem that has not been addressed - or even acknowledged.

    Send me a beta software build, I'll be happy to check it out.

    User Manual

    In flight you will see a "soft key" labeled FPL, that is the key you would press to access that function.

    Autopilot disconnects after 60 seconds - new install, AFS panel

    The AP disconnect switch operates by grounding a wire to airframe ground momentarily via your pushbutton disconnect. If that wire is rubbing somewhere and has a bad spot in the insulation, and occasionally makes contact with the aircraft frame, the Skyview cannot tell the difference between that...

    ARINC-429 dropouts are still a problem that has not been addressed - or even acknowledged.

    And I'm still waiting on the promised higher-sensitivity software build to find the bug.

    INDENTing Issue

    You should be in ALT mode as you are taking the runway for takeoff. Then your transponder will constantly be sending your ALTitude out with your squawk code (1200 if VFR) all the time. When ATC asks you to IDENT, it basically means that you are in a jumble of other traffic on their screen and...

    INDENTing Issue

    IDENT is a temporary condition - it's a right-now flash of hand-waving attention-getter on ATC's screen that only lasts a couple seconds and then the transponder returns to normal ops in its previous mode. What you're describing sounds like proper operation to me, other than operating in ALT...

    Heated Pitot / AOA install in RV 9

    As David noted above - or mount it on the wing close enough to the inspection cover that you can reach inside to the connections easily. In my installation I left a "service loop" of both tubing runs and the wiring so that I can pull the pitot head off the mast and drop it down vertically out of...

    Dual HDX screens

    Yes, they will sync with each other automatically. You will not need two knob panels.

    SV-EMS-220 errors

    Possible - but much more likely to be a wiring or pin problem. If you've confirmed those are good, then an internal fault becomes more likely and you'll need to discuss with Dynon tech support.

    SV-EMS-220 errors

    The amp measurement is a simple voltage input on two pins to the EMS - one on each side of the shunt. The shunt should be sized to have a voltage differential across it of 1 millivolt for each amp passing through the shunt. 7 amps = 7 millivolts, etc etc. The EMS will look at the voltage...

    SV-EMS-220 errors

    On the RPM, the 30k-ohm is a suggested starting spot, but some installation have needed more, as much as double that resistance, to get reliable results.

    Barometric pressure setting wrong?

    The problem is that the Skyview baro sensor drifts slightly between cold and warm. I see 30 feet pretty commonly between a cold winter morning startup and 5 minutes later once the screen has warmed up a bit. As noted above you have a +/- 75' window of acceptable accuracy, so taking off with a...

    Trim annunciation blocks the turn coordinator

    The current location of the trim annunciation on the screen of the HDX for trim up/down is overload on top of the slip/skid ball for a coordinated turn. That becomes problematic during a couple IFR approach when speeds may be varying (and trim requirements with it) and you're trying to keep...

    Audible Airspace Warning

    Correct, that's on the map display. You can put both the PFD and MAP display on a single screen though, sharing space.

    Glideslope tracking

    In my experience it can only be captured from below the glideslope.

    Flying a Hold or Procedure turn using GNS430

    I have the exact same setup in my 9A, 430W and HDX, and it flies both the procedure turn inbound and the missed holds just fine. You've got something amiss in your buttonology.

    Engine Monitor Failure?

    There are numerous tales of charging system problems with the RV12, I would not be too quick to assume the problem is in the Dynon hardware. You should visit the vans builders forum at vansairforce.com and search the RV12 threads there for electrical issues.
