Do you have the GTN set up for Auto VLOC/GPS switching? Make sure the GTN said GPS on the bottom of the screen.

Heard from a bonanza owner that the autopilot delivery was going to be delayed due to some kind of issue (not defined, and not specific to that particular order). Any information on this?

No, FAR part 25 applies to transport category aircraft. I don’t think the STC covers that…maybe you are trying to get a field approval in an L1011? Part 23 applies to most GA aircraft (specifically 23.2600 in this case) and the guidance within AC 23.1311-1C defines the requirements. Other than...

Every installation is different, even on the same model of aircraft. Remember: these aren’t certified for a particular panel layout. I’d be happy to put the larger screen in my Baron, and it would fit. If I’m cutting a new panel I’ll lay it out so a 12” will fit, since the back is the same as...

What the voltage shows AFTER shutdown is not relevant. If you wish to check your electrical system vs. your indications, or your electrical system at all, with any accuracy, you need to use a multimeter with a probe attached to ground and a bus bar WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. That will...

The aviation agencies have really screwed-up ADS-B. You have a transponder, but not the “right” transponder. You can have ADS-B, but not the “right” ADS-B. You can have the “right” ADS-B, but not the proper diversity set-up. Oh, and all of this changes based on where you fly. Don’t even get...

What engine/ignition? If it only happens with engine inning I can 99% guarantee it is ignition or alternator. Check p-lead shields, alternator can have issues that cause noise. RPM dependent?

Can you update ONE stick and just copy it to the second one?

Certified CWS button Certified wifi Certified twin-engine engine monitoring not required on a dedicated screen (this is a big one: would completely change my panel layout capabilities. Big G can display everyth8ng on one screen. Not sure why I have to have a dedicated screen for Dynon)

The math on the voltage divider works on 14v, but if it is a 28v system should the resistors should be adjusted to get approximately 5v at the pin? The manual doesn’t say that…

For the GP pins used in “contact” mode to sense things like gear position, pitot heat, etc; in a 28v system is the recommended 10KOhm resistor adequate to protect the system? Manual is kind of ambiguous (looks like it should…) Second question: I need three ammeters: two aircraft load meters...

That doesn’t work on the certified systems; the Wi-Fi dongle and database transfer through it is not-authorized per the STC.

If you already have it, you may as well install it. No sense keeping it as a shelf protector. Looks like a pretty easy install.

SV can use up to 2A servos without the trim amp. The RAC servos lists 800mA at full-stall. So you should not need it. The trimamp does give runaway trim sensing and some other fault sensing. You should still have full auto-trim without it per the SV manual (assuming you have the trim...

Anybody have any new information about the 215 allowing frequencies to be pushed from the HDX?

Any updates to this? Looking at a Dynon certified and would like to be able to easily drop frequencies from the PFD to the radio. Nav1/COM1 is a GTN650, I would like the other radio (backup nav, probably primary com if this works) to play with the panel. Frogman208 said it didn’t work as...

You could also use a rotary potentiometer with an arm/pushrod, or gears, or belt/cogs. Pretty much any way you can get a potentiometer to interact with the desired control. And, yes, the more of the POT range you can utilize the better.

While I do agree that operating software/firmware updates on certified aircraft is not in the “owner/operator” realm, the rest of your statement is misleading. Please research the 2009 “Coleal letter” and response from the FAA. The FAA interpreted the “list” of preventive maintenance a pilot...

Yes. The FARs do not specify who has to physically do any work. They specify who can return the aircraft/engine/appliance to service (by signing the logbook). You can do anything the A&P who signs the book is allowed to sign for, as long as he/she inspects your work and agrees it was properly...

Is there any chance the option for a separate CWS button on the yoke could be added to the feature set? The STC does not allow this (on the single disconnect button) but it would be great to include this feature to better match other autopilots. It should allow a temporary override of the...
