Yes, a baro-corrected altitude source is required for enroute VNAV for both the IFD and GTN. It's mentioned in the user manual for both.

That's what it sounded like to me too -that "VNAV" in Dynon is "APR" in other autopilots. But I wanted to check with Dynon reps or people who might have a navigator/FMS that does feed enroute VNAV data. It's not just a Garmin thing. Avidyne added enroute VNAV to the IFD. I'm not sure I agree...

Will the certified version of the HDX autopilot follow an enroute VNAV profile from a Garmin GTN or Avidyne IFD?

The funny part of all this is that for a long time I never even noticed it was missing despite doing and teaching approach, departure, and falling leaf stalls. Plenty of "inherent aerodynamic qualities" warning if the impending stall, as @Rhino mentioned.

It's not that it's not working, there simply isn't a vane stall indicator. The wings are flush. I thought that odd but the maintenance manual says it was optional.

it looks like that's the answer. SportCruiser aircraft were built with a stall warning vane system as an option. I don't see anything about a dual pribe sensor pitot installation in the maintenance logs. @Dynon, when was AoA capability added to Skyview?

Are you seeing this behavior on other approaches? This one, as you point out has a distance/altitude loss combination between the IF and FAF that would have you descending on the glidepath immediately after crossing COVGO. Any excess altitude and you'd be above glidepath in a jiffy. If it's...

we tried it with three and then with two. @Bsquared asks an interesting question. The SportCruiser maintenance manual talks about an "optional" vane-type stall warning system which is definitely not on this airplane. Basically, without the Dynon AoA there is simply no stall warning system...

A friend's new to him SportCruiser with dual EFIS HDX. AoA indicator had never been calibrated. We attempted calibration yesterday. Following the on-screen directions (pic), we did three stalls. Power off no flaps, power off full flaps, and a departure Stall. All three recorded by the system...

Sorry, no. The only Dynon I'm teaching in currently is a dual HDX system so I've had no reason to look for anything on the Classic.

I teach in an HDX SportCruiser. I assign this playlist of videos from Dynon as part of ground training. Dunno how old you are :D but I have found them helpful. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmolGJZEeVA5wTyd_sne9h2FcAuFJsHU2

I think everyone can agree it's not the best interface. More like a command prompt screen dressed up a bit. Having watched it take forever, I think it may actually pull the files to the desktop/laptop first, then copy them over, and then do a verification check. Fortunately, I can put in the...

I'm not going to defend SA. It's funky and old-looking. But since I started using in in December I haven't seen any of the problems folks are reporting.

I understand the difference Between a Call Sign/Flight ID and the aircraft registration. You are right about semantics. Given the multiple terms being used, I was wondering whether the terminology was being used the same way in the Skyview As elsewhere. Apparently it is,

Wow! I pulled my screenshot from the old manual. Thank you! I'll look for that on my next flight.

Thanks to you both. But that's kind of the question... @skysailor, the ADS-B Out standard procedure used by the charitable organizations is exactly the opposite of what you describe. Here's the instructions from the Air Care Alliance. All the rescue organizations have the same procedure. The...

Is the "Tail Number" item the equivalent of the "Flight ID" for ADS-b out purposes. IOW, if I am doing an Angel Flight and want to use my (legitimate) Angel Flight or Compassion code, is this where it would go?

...which makes sense. You may be doing a "what if...?" in the EFB and don't want it to automatically sync,

When I wasn't seeing it, I never saw anything, even flying through Class C and having traffic pointed out to me. It looks like it's functioning normally now but I don't "see" how I can be sure it's not missing things.
