    bonanza a36 electric trim

    Yes. According to the installation manual, the switch will interface with the trim controller, then the controller will in turn actuate the trim servo. You should be able to use just about any yoke-mount trim switch or MOM-OFF-MOM switch. Since trim switches are usually autopilot specific, and...

    BONANZA V35B ELECTRICAL TRIM SYSTEM

    Does the century STC allow a standalone trim installation? Can you still get the STC approval to install a century component at all? It SOUNDS easy, but there may not be a legal way to just go to a salvage yard and buy a used motor and mount it. Just because you can do it, doesn’t mean it’s legal.

    BONANZA V35B ELECTRICAL TRIM SYSTEM

    As far as I know, your only option is the Genesys (formerly S-TEC) manual electric trim, then interface with the Dynon AP. Pretty sure they are approved for the V35. I can’t find anything on the Genesys site, but Sarasota Avionics lists it for $3,889 plus installation. You should be able to ask...

    Yoke Mounted Autopilot Disconnect Switch Setups

    Not mine, just a photo I found to show what many I’ve seen are set up like. That being said, some are drilled/tapped, but I’ve seen some clamped to the yoke hub extension, or to the yoke itself. I’ve also seen some bonded to the yoke with something like 3M 5200. I’m not going to tell you what...

    Yoke Mounted Autopilot Disconnect Switch Setups

    What I would like to see is he CWS function approved for the certified installations, or a second input for an individual CWS button added/approved.

    Yoke Mounted Autopilot Disconnect Switch Setups

    usually a metal tab is made to hold the buttons then screwed/clamped to the yoke.

    Twin engine EMS inputs

    Thanks, So how about all of the other inputs? I’m guessing you can’t put a THIRD EMS behind the panel for inputs that wouldn’t otherwise need to be run to the nacelles (gear, flaps, fuel quantity, door indicators, pitot heat indicator, pneumatic pressure, etc. that all reside only in the...

    Green Arrow

    How do you change it to the other end of the runway (“flip” the arrow)?

    Twin engine EMS inputs

    When you install a second EMS, the install manual only references utilizing the additional EGT/CHT inputs. Can ALL of the general purpose inputs be used? So, can I have 24 or so useable general purpose inputs? Furthermore, is there any way to interface inputs like flaps, gear position, other...

    Enroute VNAV - Autopilot

    I agree the ability would be nice, but I fly a Baron and almost never get a STAR that has lends itself to a descend-via. The ability to fly a VDI to make a crossing restriction would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me. Reading the HDX manual it appears you can use “skyview” guidance (not...

    Enroute VNAV - Autopilot

    Reading the HDX manual it appears “no” I might be wrong, but the “VNAV” according to the manual is only for GP/GS on an approach, or skyview internal vs to waypoint. At least for Garmin, I’m pretty sure enroute VNAV only works with Garmin autopilots/PFD. Not sure about Avidyne. That said...

    Standby ADHARS for certified?

    Looking through the documentation I can’t see any reference to a second (standby) ADHARS for certified installations. I know this is easy in experimental, but is it allowed per the STC for certified? Edit: just found a note in the HDX install manual (not the certified supplement) that states...

    3rd party ADS-B in compatibility

    Right, that’s why I’m asking. I want to know if I can get traffic and weather on both systems from one source to avoid any redundancy. I’d prefer the Dynon xpdr and ditch the GTX, and as I understand it the GTN only takes ADS-B info from Garmin sources. If that’s the case, but I get weather...

    3rd party ADS-B in compatibility

    That’s one thing I’m trying to figure out: can I get ALL ADS-B on BOTH the SV & the GTN/Pilot app with ONE ADS-B box? And, if not, is the ADS-B traffic/weather on the SV good enough that I won’t miss it on the GTN/iPad if I switch to the Dynon xpdr?

    3rd party ADS-B in compatibility

    Follow-up question: if I get rid of the GTX345 in favor of the Dynon xpdr, will I miss the ADS-B on the GTN650/iPad since the SV will display all of the same stuff? Will I even care about the iPad given the SV map functions?

    3rd party ADS-B in compatibility

    I’ve looked, and I keep finding vague answers. I have a GTX345 that supplies traffic/weather to a GTN650Xi, then eventually (through FS510) Garmin Pilot on my iPad. Can I get traffic AND weather from the GTX345 onto the Dynon screen, or do I need the Dynon ADS-B in box? I know: “sell the GTX...

    Twin engine dedicated EMS screen

    Is the 10” Garmin bigger than the Dynon? Just seems like the certification was not equally applied (FAA, not dynon’s fault) but who knows? Maybe there are differences in system architecture for implementing two engine EMSs.

    Twin engine dedicated EMS screen

    It says a “secondary non-PFD screen” must be dedicated to EMS display for twin-engine aircraft.

    Twin engine dedicated EMS screen

    Interested in a full-Dynon for my Baron. In the documentation it says a screen has to be dedicated to EMS. One spot says 100% or 50% EMS view at takeoff/landing, then elsewhere it says 100% is normal for all operation in multi-engine. The older Baron panel does not lend itself to 3-screens due...
