I just spent the grandkid's inheritance on a Skyview HDX for my 182 and have run into questions that I suspect are kinda dumb, but I'll be darned if I can find an answer in the documents I have.
First, does the flight director need to be adjusted before takeoff like the old attitude gyro it replaced? I've been assuming that, being solid state, it doesn't need such, but I've noticed that it indicates a nose high attitude in level flight at 10500', where i usually cruise.
Second, I'm getting a warning from the maintenance log that my pitot static is out of date, but I can't change it in the system to reflect the current status.
Finally, I've downloaded the latest database from Dynon, copied it to the usb drives that came with the system, and followed the instructions on the Dynoncertified page, but I can't seem to get the new data to load, so I'm still running the temporary, installation package that's 3 years old. Doesn't bother me much as the mountains haven't moved much since then in the areas I frequent, but I would like to make it work the way it's supposed to.
