What the others have said about putting the Dynon Transponder in Standby does disable ADS-B out; however, the ADS-B in still works and you will get traffic warnings, which can be annoying. A little food for thought from the AIM, the FAA now requests that Lead squawks 1203 when not receiving ATC...

So those that who say I should use my checklist, which I do, what I am suggesting is no different than the SV prompting you to check your altimeter setting upon boot up. Maybe that should be removed since it will be / should be caught on your checklist?

Everyone misses stuff every now and then. Regardless, why not use the technology?

I did it again... My last flight I was given a squawk when passing through class Charlie Airspace close to home. Prior to landing, I didn't reset my transponder to 1200. Sure enough, a few days later, I'm flying and realize my transponder is still set to the squawk given to me on my prior...

If you are building up your engine and know you are not going to use the tach drive, be sure to install it, along with a cover, as described. A friend built up his engine and left the tach drive shaft out, with the blessing of Superior. It turns out there is an oil squirter that lubricates this...

I would normally agree, especially when flying close to each other but not when on long flights and you are a mile or two apart. Also, if on an AP, it is easy enough to watch for traffic.

Two suggestions for enhancements: 1. Can you add a "Flight Path Offset"? When flying a course via the Autopilot, it would be nice to be able to offset the course centerline a given distance, say anywhere from 1/4 mile to five miles. This would be helpful when flying to a common destination...

The P-mag ground, pin #1 on the P-mag's green connector, should go to independent case bolts, not a forest of tab ground block! Two P-mags, two different case bolts. I cannot stress this enough! If you put it on a forest of tabs, the tach signal, which is analog, can pick up noise from other...

Any chance we can have "Vbg" displayed on the tape either full time or below a preset power setting?

Just announced today.

Marc, You brought back a lot of memories of watching my college roommates spending hours keeping their charts up to date. The only difference is that today they are electronic, and everyone expects them display the proper date.

While I understand the technical issues behind the dates on the plates being "out of date" but current because Seattle Avionics (and the FAA) only issues new plates when there is a change, my issue is with my CFII and potentially the examiner. My CFII has asked me to show him the expiration...

Thank you all for your input. My friend has been watching this thread and is going to add the MPG widget to his screen. What prompted this question was my friend was flying with a C172 and they were comparing GPH numbers, and he was tired of calculating the MPG numbers. Personally, I fly my...

Thanks, I thought it was there but missed in the manual.

Asking for a friend ... Is there a widget in the SV system that can display the MPG based on groundspeed, not AS or TAS? I couldn't find one in the manual but it would be kind of cool to see it displayed. Thanks!

Can you modify the software so that rather than just telling me my charts are out of date, can you check the USB drive to see if there is an update on there and ask me if I would like to load it?

I did not have the engine running but had all the electronics turned on.

Absolutely correct. If you use the compass method I described above, walk around with the compass and see if it is disturbed by any burred metal.

I would like to have an optional display of the degrees to turn, Left or Right, to take me directly to the current waypoint. Say I am off course, to the left, by five degrees; I would like a display that shows "005 R", which means I need to turn five degrees right to take me to my current...

I am (OK, used to be) an active backpacker, so I used my compass (see image, below). I turned the prop vertical so I could line it up with vertical stabilizer (VS). I then turned the plane in each of the cardinal directions, using the compass to line it up, while sitting on the ramp, away from...
