Hi, 1st post, related to a new-to-me D10 EFIS.
I've owned the plane about 3 months. The D10 has the remote compass and OAT probe. Since purchasing the plane, sometimes when I try to configure 'info' to show OAT & true airspeed, nothing shows up. After multiple attempts (often during a flight), it will show up. Occasionally, it'll disappear during a flight, as well.
A new symptom just showed up today, doing T&Gs during my 3rd flight of the day. The display went to monochrome and a message popped up saying that attitude was unavailable (or unreliable; I've forgotten which). As I continued to do T&Gs, the D10 repeatedly would go blank and then reboot itself. I thought at first the reboots were related to flap up/down action, but then I noticed it happening even in level flight with no electrical 'actions' taking place.
Once on the ground, I couldn't duplicate the rebooting problem (of course...).
Any thought on whether the two symptoms could be related? Could an intermittent connection between the remote compass & the EFIS cause the EFIS to reboot?
Thanks for any help,
Charlie
