The OP mentioned that the AP connect came first, then the disconnect. This pattern doesn't sound like a short in the APD/CWS switch to me, despite the warning on the EFIS. With the AP off, I think I could press my APD/CWS button repeatedly and never get the AP to *connect*, which is what the OP...

I'll propose a different scenario where this would be useful: if the pilot becomes disabled while in flight, a non-pilot passenger could potentially use this. No, it's not the complete solution that Garmin Autoland is. But it's sure a step in the right direction. I fly behind AFS 5600s, so this...

I will second what @kurtfly and others have written above. It's a very predictable behavior in my plane. When the prop is positioned such that the PMag's LED is green, then EFIS will show a nonzero RPM, my oil pressure warning will go off since the EFIS thinks the prop's turning with no oil...

The temperature sensor problem is known to both the Emag and EngineBridge folks. I've heard of no similar problems with the RPM reporting (although of course that doesn't mean there aren't any...). But I would put that possibility (the PMag reporting incorrect RPMs) very low on the list. I have...

I had the panel space so I installed it. I'm not instrument-rated, but I hope to be, and I think it would be workload-reducing in single-pilot IFR. Plus: There's the auto-trim feature mentioned above, I like the single-button AP on/off right on the panel without getting into the menus, and My...

I just came across this, and I think this technique might be useful in another application I'm working on which is unrelated to this one. Is there a name for this sort of technique? I'd like to read more about it, including tips, cautions, etc. I saw the photo you mentioned that was referenced...

If it helps, this is what mine looked like. When I first noticed it (I'm headed northeast; notice how the southwest portion is sharp while northeast is blurry): Sixteen minutes later, it was getting even worse to the east, and essentially illegible:

I had the same experience recently, on a flight to South Dakota (although I use two AFS 5600s for my PFD and MFD rather than the HDXs you have, the symptoms are identical). It turns out I hadn't instructed the Seattle Avionics Download Manager to include South Dakota in my list of states to...
