Re: Magnetometer issue due to magnetised fuel filler cap bonding wire

Yeah the magnetometer is pretty sensitive. Tbe issue in our 2003 was that when we had our old incandescent bulbs in the tip lights, they would draw enough current to fail the AHRS. Once we went to LED Bulbs and then Whelen LED tip strobes the Issue went away. I once had a Gamin engineer tell me that...

G1000 WAAS Question

So it appears that Diamond has found us a pair of GIA63Ws, so we are going to get the WAAS upgrade on out KAP-140 non WAAS DA-40. I do have some questions as to the AP integration with the G1000. Will the WAAS update add roll steering to the KAP-140? If nnot is it possible to add a roll steering con...

Re: Garmin DB Mgr does not work with MacOS Ventura

FYI, I have two Macs (one work one personal) The new M1 with ventura doesn't like the DB Updater app for SD cards. It does work for updating the 430 Data cards though. The older intel based work Mac Still had the old fly Garmin installed (v 1.0.4) and That worked for updating the G1000 cards today.

Re: Standby Attitude Indicator Replacement

Yeah after a lengthy email thread with BOTH Garmin and Diamond, they finally told me that there are no restrictions in the installation manual for the G1000 nor from Diamopnd. So basically it seems like any AI that meets part 23 limitations should be ok to install either via an STC or a 337. On that...

Re: What is a MÄM?

Classic Denglisch ;-) Basically it is all said. There is a MÄM, a M andatory ÄnderungsMitteilung and OÄM, an O ptional ÄnderungsMitteilung. Literally translated they are mandatory and optional advisories of change. From a linguistic point of view, it is very ugly to mix English and German, but even ...

Re: Standby Attitude Indicator Replacement

So here's the interesting things I have found out so far. Garmin has ZERO docs out in the public domain that have any restrictions of what is "approved". I contacted RC Allen about installing the mini6, an I was told that it is ok to install the unit, BUT that it wasn't "approved"...

Re: Bicycles in the back of a DA62

Not a '62, but I regularly fit 2 bikes in the back of our Da-40. I do take both wheels off to stack them in there though.

Re: Standby Attitude Indicator Replacement

So far i've been quite happy with the AV-20 we put in the club 182RG. I'll have to look into the AV-30 a bit more. I was also looking at the RC allen 2610. The 275 is nice and all, but I have had multiple friends pay upwards of 8k to install a 275.
