I recently upgraded my EFIS D10 to the D10A along with the EDC-10 upgrade. I have mounted the EDC onto the same bracket that held the old EDC-10. After I performed the calibration, I am getting a tremendous error indicating 330’, with the plane pointing to 140’.
I had calibrated the old D10 with no problem, so this is puzzling. It appears to be communicating with the EDC… no heading variation with the headset test, and I have entered the inclination and intensity per the procedure. When I call up the calibration program, I get the NESW screen and it goes through the calculations. I did have the engine running when I turned the plane to the 4 headings, and aligned the plane with the magnetic compass. I had aligned my compass
with the airport’s compass rose several months ago, so I feel it is pretty accurate. Any suggestions?
