I have version 5.5 and I have no display, tape or digital, of VSI. PAGE 5.9 of the D180 pilot guide manual says that with EFIS>SETUP>CLUTTR I will have a VSI option to toggle display on or off. I have no VSI option showing under the CLUTTR command although the others do display. Is it somewhere else?
Every thing else seems to be working ok. If I understand how it supposed to work, the only way to vary vertical speed is by power, as the pitch command, with ALT HOLD off, is dictated by the airspeed entered on the BUGS page. (I have no SP34) So if a faster rate of descent is desired, retard the throttle.
Third row on the voltmeter I is D180 internal battery. Mine always reads 15+, while the first line bus power reads the airplane battery and is 12 to 14 depending on my rpm. Is the 15+ volt normal? Thanks, zip andre
