Hello,
So, my partner and I are going to replace our AI with Either The D10A or another manufacturer of a digital AI or EFIS.
The ONLY thing stopping me from wanting the D10A is that the small white "airplane" (similar to a Flight Path symbol on common EFIS displays) is too small to teach by...
Even when we de-clutter the screen on the D10A in the other Piper Cherokee that is installed to make the attitude symbol bigger.. I cannot justify this becoming a replacement for the attitude indicator, yet.
Ultimately, I have heard that @dynon avionics is pretty responsive on here and/or someone may be able to help out. I am looking to change the symbol on the D10A to that of the D2 screen's black "pitch/bank bars". This way the pitch and bank would be noticeable at a glance, more easily, as traditional EFIS systems are. It would be:[list bull-blackball][*] Larger [*] More contrast [*] More similar to the students future environment
[/list]
I have been flight instructing for about 3 years and am a airline pilot who would like to teach my students with a similar UI to that of our aircraft. (like the D2 display). Also, I know of a few flight schools that use the D100 and would benefit from teaching students (bound for the airlines) to fly off of the pitch/bank bars rather than the white attitude indicator (that is in our EFIS, at least, the flight path indicator). Correct me if I am wrong, but I cannot find where the white attitude indicator is in fact a flight path indicator.
P.S. I think I've done my research and still have not found any other forum posts that can help, settings, or upgrades to help. If not, let me know.
Thanks!
