Re: Avidyne TAS/FLARM anyone?

Here ya go. Is that the avidyne or flarm antenna? Do you also have bottom antenna? How is the field of view/reception, any problems? It also comes with a bottom antenna, ours is placed slightly behind the transponder and DME antennas. Looks a bit different due to the interrogator: https://www.avidy...

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III

I'm guessing that moving the SR airframe to the G3000 is a precursor to Cirrus introducing autoland on the SR22, since the Vision Jet, Piper M600, and TBM 960 with autoland all use the G3000. That would be interesting! Also means G8 should come with autothrottle, possibly fadec for the mixture cont...

that sounds like an extreme overkill. an emergency battery (to be replaced every 2 years) only for the flood light (which is not needed by the LED backlit SAM anyway....)?! :shock:

Re: Standby instruments

Right. I haven't tested any, but these types of devices generally have their own backup batteries and are supposed to seamlessly switch when necessary. Ok, then it does work different in the sim :shock: I only know the DA40 with analogue backup gauges by heart: the emergency switch connects the sin...

Re: Standby instruments

The airspeed indicator, compass and altimeter are mechanical and do not rely on electrical power to operate. The attitude indicator as originally supplied is a "stupid" spinning gyro that still works for awhile after losing power due to its inertia. It no more "boots up" than tu...

Re: Standby instruments

Sorry, I cannot answer the question, but I recently flew on an FNTP II simulator and had a total electrical failure. After turning the emergency switch on, the standby instruments took ~15 seconds to 'boot'. One can claim that this is an improbable scenario as you usually have a main battery for a w...

Re: XLS or NG?

for example if the pilot accidentally switched off the engine master instead of the electric fuel pump (it's happened). I rather wonder what happens after the electric master goes off. If my understanding is correct the engine continues to run till you don't turn it back on. Then the ECUs recycle, ...

Re: DA40NG RPM >2100 (yellow) with load <92%

erchegyia wrote: Sat Apr 22, 2023 9:28 am it's not. The max continuous RPM is 2100, so you are not allowed to run for more than 5mins in that range. In our case, MT prop SL71 (max rpm adjustment) + waste gate restrictor cleaning + boost pressure actuator replacement solved the issue.
Update: unfortunately the problem is back :shock:
