Understood - it makes perfect sense That said, as I thought about the logic and UI of having both modes available, I thought that maybe once I was in VNav mode and descending towards the new altitude in the preselect textbox, pressing the Alt button again would tell the AP that I do want to...

Regarding the VNAV to the runway when using the autopilot: I set up a 3° descent angle, engaged VNAV on the autopilot, and watched in awe as the autopilot guided me down to the runway. I do have a question, though: once the system engaged for the descent, it replaced what I call the "fly to"...

I just got back from riding in a friend's new RV-12 and noticed a couple of odd things. First, when he dialed in the current altimeter setting, the displayed altitude was more than 200' higher than the field elevation. Second, while using the simplified autopilot settings, the vertical speed...

Solved. Based on the serial numbers, I was able to determine which of the two servos was not being found. That servo had a poorly crimped terminal. I should have suspected this from the start because this was by no means the first of those we have found. The next problem was the 4/8 error, but...

It sticks at 'Enumerating Network' - never gets past that.

This is a new build of a Van's RV-12. The build was started as a D-180 and therefore has the Van's Skyview conversion harness. The AP servos were not detected by 'Config | Detect' under Skyview version 5.5, so an upgrade to v 11 was performed. The attached image shows the current state of the...

Asked Van's, they punted to Dynon. Will the AP panel auto-trim eventually integrate with the RV-12 electric trim? If so, will it remove/reduce the Trip Up / Trim Down messages?

I have an identical problem.  Looking at the Skyview install guide, it states that the audio ground on pin 30 of the 37 pin connector should be directly connected to the audio ground of the intercom.  According to the Vans RV12 wiring diagram, it is not. In fact, it is connected to nothing...

It read 1.0, but when I tested the autopilot again it worked fine. If it acts up again, I will be sure to to get the G-reading.

I have a Skyview installed in an RV-12. For the last 15 hours, the autopilot has work perfectly. Today, however, it refused to hold altitude or descend. The servo was engaged; I could feel the clutch slip and received the 'slip' annunciation on the display when I overrode it. Once on the...
