    Sleep Alarm - Feature Request.

    AIrguy, usually I am in perpetual motion in the cockpit - aviate, navigate, communicate in an endless loop is how I roll. However, I sometimes fly over uninhabited desert for up to four hours in an LSA with no one to talk to and hear no one except the jets thirty thousand feet above me. Now lose...

    Sleep Alarm - Feature Request.

    Airbus allegedly has an alarm function that plays a wake up call if there is no detectable cockpit activity after fifteen minutes. I wonder if Dynon could add this feature.

    Circuit breakers

    Go with whatever you feel comfortable with, after all , that's what Experimental is about. Me, I tried to follow FAR 23 on this subject because that's the sorta guy I am. https://www.risingup.com/fars/info/part23-1329-FAR.shtml I think this sub clause tells me to have a breaker, a fuse or...

    Circuit breakers

    With the greatest respect the Skyview Installation manual section 10 (autopilot installation) still calls for the autopilot servo power to be via "a circuit breaker accessible to the pilot while in flight." This is your last line of defence, short of over powering the servos and perhaps...

    Autopilot Rolls Into Turns Like A Fighter Pilot

    “Problem Cause: As for the reason for the Roll AP issue, from Don at Dynon: “They introduced a bug that basically disabled the roll gyro feedback gains, (pitch too, it just didn't show up as much as there is also a vertical speed rate limiter in use)” ‘’Might the pitch gyro feedback gains have...

    Intermittent erratic fuel pressure indications - Kavlico sensor?

    Thank you for your post. The erratic behaviour lasts for a few minutes, then stops and perhaps restarts. I have not been able to duplicate it. The fuel system is as per plans and performs that way and has done so since construction. The fuel pumps are pressurizing a common rail fuel injection...

    Intermittent erratic fuel pressure indications - Kavlico sensor?

    I have a 912 iS and the latest Kavlico fuel pressure sensor. I am receiving erratic fuel pressure readings from zero to 70+ psi. This happens for periods in flight but I have not been able to reproduce it on the ground. I am satisfied that this is a gauge issue and that fuel pressure is rock...

    Oil Pressure -3 PSI before start up - Rotax 912iS

    Have you confirmed that the reading is not correct? Is it possible that there is a vacuum in that part of the oil system under some conditions? What happens to the indication when you "burp" the engine? What oil pressure is indicated when the engine is running? Once that is ruled out, I think...

    Bug In EMS Display Widget?

    Confirmed today that the gauge pointer in "Inverted" mode widgets no longer runs anti clockwise. Is this deliberate or a bug?

    Bug In EMS Display Widget?

    I'm running 16.2.4 and I think I may have found a bug in the EMS display. I am running a Rotax 912 iS and in my hand coded engine instrument displays, I use the arc widget, specifically WIDGET_INVERTED_ARC_VAL_CENTER to display fuel pressure (ems1_c37_p8) and oil temperature...

    Is 912iS fuel flow widget still uncorrected?

    I agree with Dynons position. I have a 912 iS. It is vital to distinguish between reported values and calculated values on the instrument panel in order to understand and interpret the potential for error. For the 912 iS, Dynon displays the ECU CAN bus values as reported. I want it to stay that...

    Fuel Pressure Sensor - High Reading??

    Dynon followed up and I have a new sensor installed and tested OK. The faulty one is on its way back to Dynon for investigation. Thank you Dynon for great customer service!

    ADSB 472 Traffic Not Showing or Erratic?

    How do I load the patch?? Is it the ”load files” command or “update system software” command under the system software menu? ….and thank you for your help.

    ADSB 472 Traffic Not Showing or Erratic?

    Last week I flew in company with two other aircraft for two hours, both continuously within 4 miles of each of them and both were transmitting ADSB -Out on 1090 via sky echo units which I'm told have an 80 mile range in good circumstances. The trouble is that neither of them appeared on my map...

    Fuel Pressure Sensor - High Reading??

    Thank you Dynon for your great follow up!. I've sent an email to you with the following advice. I haven't checked pressure on the 1013757 - 000 when exposed to atmosphere. What I did instead was plug in my old 101716 - 000 sensor and it showed zero psi just fine. I reinstalled that old sensor...

    Fuel Pressure Sensor - High Reading??

    I have a rotax 912 iS in a Zenith CH750. I have a Skyview Classic. The aircraft time in service is about 40 hours. I changed the fuel injection pressure sensor from a 101716 - 000 50 psi unit to a 1013757-000 unit supplied by Dynon before first flight last November in accordance with Dynon SB...

    EMS Fuel Flow Representation Issue (Rotax 912iS)
