    AP Panel Button Inconsistent

    Even before the most recent software update, my AP Panel AP switch would sometimes not start the AP. I could invoke it through the menu on the HDX. Once functioning, other buttons on the AP Panel seemed to work normally.

    Is AOA Real?

    Is the AOA depicted by Dynon a real AOA, as one would expect from a vane input instrument, or is it a inferred or referred AOA based on differences in pitot and static (correction - should read "port") pressure? My bottom line question is can one fly the AOA? In a previous existence, I flew a...

    Map Info Setup HDX

    I'm thinking of how to set up the Map Info column. I understand it is largely personal preference, but am curious to know your setup to see if there are some good layouts I should emulate. My airplane is IFR capable, and I want to support that kind of mission, but I mostly fly VFR on shorter...

    Rotax Oil Temp Audio Alert

    Just installed dual HDX replacing DT1000s. I don't get an audio alert if oil temperature goes into the high red range. (I don't recall if I had audio alert on the DT1000 or not.) I've looked in the HDX Users Guide and in Chapter 12 I believe I see that oil temperature audio alert is possible. I...

    Refine Electric Trim

    I have a Ray Allen electric elevator trim system and it is a little too coarse. I'd like each button push to initiate a smaller trim step. My friend says his Dynon has the ability to reduce the trim segment. I have a Dynon HDX but no AP Panel. I don't see where I can adjust the size of the...

    External AOA Display?

    Is there an AOA display that can be fed from the Dynon HDX and be located on the glare shield or on the panel where it's easy to see? The Dynon AOA display on the glass panel is too hard to read and too far out of my FOV.

    Seattle Avionics, Airmate, or Nothing?

    I have dual DT1000 and a Garmin GT625. I typically do not use a tablet or pad, just the SkyView. I don't carry VFR charts or IFR LO charts. I'm due to renew my Seattle Avionics subscription and have been unhappy with their download manager. I'm trying to decide if I should stay with Seattle...

    Chartdata Subscription not found

    I checked my Seattle Avionics account and it's good until May of 2023. When I try to upgrade to the new charts, I get a message "No ChartData subscription information available" and I don't get an update process. I'm leaving on a longer trip on 6 Oct, the date of the new database, and am a bit...

    Define Op Limit 1 Area

    Is there a way to draw a 25 nm circle around a given point so that one can see if one is flying inside the approved area? This is a common requirement for flying off the initial hours of an experimental amateur built plane. I understand one can specify a USER waypoint (the center of the 25 nm...

    Change USER Icon?

    I have several USER locations saved in my HDX and would like to change the icon representing the location. I want the location to be represented by a different icon or symbol on the map. I've searched the manual and online and can't find how to do that. Any help is much appreciated.

    Roll Servo Offline

    I have SV42 pitch and roll servos. Pitch always works. Roll usually is listed in red as offline. When it does work it seems to work correctly. I have verified I have power and ground to the servo side of the DB9 plug. Tweaking, prodding, pushing ,etc. doesn't change anything. In talking to...

    HDX EMS Screen Layout

    I'd appreciate any tips on using the HDX EMS screen editor. I have read the manual (although I won't promise I understand it all) and I have spent considerable time "fooling around" with the screen editor. 1. How do you move the widgets around on the screens? 2. Does anyone have any examples...

    Anyone Tried ChartData Manager 6.6.0.2?

    I will confess, I have low confidence in Seattle Avionics and will delay installing the new version of ChartData manager until I get some sense from the field that it is working satisfactorily.

    Inst Manual -AJ Heading Question

    The SkyView System Installation Manual Revision AJ has me confused. On the top of each odd-numbered page in Chapter 24 is this heading. Appendix C: Wiring and Electrical Connections. On the top of each even numbered page is the heading: Appendix D: SV-EMS-220/221 Sensor Input Mapping...

    Sees B/U Battery but text "greyed" out

    My HDX 16.0.4 sees the 320 B/U battery, but in the menu line LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP, the text BATTERY CONNECT YES is greyed out. Is this normal?

    CHT Displays Instead of Coolant

    I have a newer Rotax 912ULS with coolant rather than CHT sensors. I select CLNT rather than CHT on the setup screen but the display doesn't change from CHT to COOL. HDX with 16.0.4. Here's the menu. SETUP MENU->EMS SETUP->ENGINE INFORMATION->DISPLAY COOLANT INSTEAD OF CHT->CLNT But, when I...

    Tune Com?

    My recollection is that when I invoke NEAREST and ATC that I would see FLT->COM near a button on the display and be able to push the button and have it populate the radio. That still works for Airport and I thought used to work for ATC, but very recently what I see now when in the ATC column is...

    Reclock Servo Arm?

    I want my Dynon servo arm to be vertical. I made a mount for the servo and as it lays the arm is not vertical but off at a significant angle. Can I reclock the arm or do I have to remake the mount?

    Which Dynon Servo For Rans S7S?

    I intend to install Dynon roll and pitch servos on my Rans 2015 S7S. Have any of you installed Dynon servos in this configuration? Which servo did you choose? I've seen a Garmin servo installation in the S7S where the the GSA 28 was used. It has 60 lps max torque, but I doubt if it was...

    Nearest doesn't change position in stack

    I note that when the "nearest" window is open that miles updates as one flies along, but the relative position does not change when the miles indicates a change in relative position is indicated. For example, if "nearest" shows airport A 10 miles away and airport B 12 miles away, when A becomes...
