Starting my IFR training and even though I can't use the hours toward the rating, having a simulator at home would get me familiar with approaches at different airports. The gas prices are better too. Everything I've found seems to be steam gauges or Garmin. I'd love to find an HDX simulator...

Preface: It looks like I have a couple of sources to feed GPS location data to the ACK E04 ELT. The ELT is going to broadcast the last GPS location it got over the serial port if it triggers after an impact. If I depend on a GPS source that is dependent on ships power and I continue in flight...

Has anyone experimented with upper and lower antennas for their ADSB-472 ADS-B receivers? I have upper and lower antennas that were installed for a passive collision avoidance receiver system that uses a combiner to connect an antenna under the wing (low wing aircraft) and one on top of the...

So, I was talking to a guy at the FAA about autopilots and safety and NORSEE (Non Required Safety Enhancing Equipment). One of the items of safety equipment on the NORSEE target list were autopilots. So, how come NORSEE hasn't made autopilots easier to get into Certificated airplanes. They...

Installing the Dynon and looking at that soon to be empty vacuum pump pad on my engine's accessory case. Has anyone received a field approval to install a vacuum pump pad standby alternator? Both B & C and PlanePower make standby alternators that replace a vacuum pump. They both list them as...

I wonder if there is or would be interest in sharing designs and documentation for user built Dynon related stuff. There might be EAA or other aviation related sites that are already doing this but I haven't found ones that are Dynon installation specific or really present whole solution and not...

Has anyone gotten a Field Approval for your new Dynon panel? The Dynon STC covers the installation of all of the Dynon gear but I think that there still needs to be a 337 for the instrument panel itself. Some instrument panels (like the ones on the Bonanza's) are a load bearing component of the...

For Certified types that can't yet install Dynon Autopilots, Is there a tactical advantage to being able to use the Flight Director display to assist in hand flying? I've never had an autopilot coupled to a flight director display. Is the autopilot functionality (including Flight Director)...

The Problem Full disclosure: I haven't spoken to Dynon about this issue. I'm wondering if what keeps the Dynon's Certified Autopilot list from expanding more quickly is a matter of having the engineering resources to design the servo brackets and control linkages and the logistical and cost...
