Auto power down (or not...)

[Europaul]

Hello Dynon friends,

On shut down, my D700 (16.7.0 sw) senses the aircraft power loss and starts a 30 sec countdown to shutdown... it then 'senses' the power loss again and begins the 30 secs anew, thus never actually getting to shutdown. I spotted this and manually powered off.

Any ideas what is causing this and, more importantly, how to fix it please?

Cheers,

The airspeed is the clue as to what is wrong with it. It is showing airspeed and right at the fine line where the system will prevent the auto shut down thinking it's flying. To correct, go to the setup menus, go to HARDWARE CALIBRATION > ADAHRS CALIBRATION > ZERO PRESSURE IAS / AOA CALIBRATION and perform that in a windless environment. That will zero out the airspeed and correct the shut down issue.

Thanks Don!

I was going to ask why it was showing a left roll of 2-3 degrees while stationary, then I saw your avatar!
