I did a significant avionics upgrade on my plane that I completed in June 2020. Upgraded my PFD from an AFS4500 to AFS5600, installed SV-ADSB, SV-ADAHRS, SV autopilot servos and a Garmin G5. I have...
My configuration: AFS5600 with Skyview autopilot servos.
I have configured a Airspeed Min of 70kts and Airspeed Max of 170kts for my autopilot through the SET > CAL > AUTOPILOT configuration menu....
OK I'm going to reply to my own post... I have confirmed that the problem I reported above was due to an out of trim condition. I did this by conducting experiments at altitude - engaging autopilot...
My autopilot is now functioning as expected under almost all circumstances. However, I still have a problem where the plane will sometimes dive below glidepath partway through a fully coupled...
Doh! Just checked and yes, the min airspeed was 135. I can't believe I missed that.
Shawn, do you have any idea what would cause the Flight Director to indicate an aggressive nose-down pitch during normal flight if the altitude bug is set higher than the current altitude?
I received the servo back a couple weeks ago and installed it last weekend. I'm happy to report that this did solve the problem. When I scan SV devices I now see that both A and B channels are green...
Ok thanks Jonathon. Will do.
Makes sense but I've checked all wires end to end using an ohm meter, including the 4 channel wires. All of them show connectivity from the DB9 connector that plugs into the SV-net hub all the way to...
Hello Jonathan,
Thanks for the suggestions. Today I checked all connections per your recommendation. By disconnecting the servos one at a time, I confirmed that it is the pitch servo that is...
Hello, I upgraded my panel and autopilot several months ago and over the past couple of months have been going on training flights to learn how to navigate and how to do fully coupled IFR approaches....
When expanding this file "terrain-reg-02-north-america-2014-08-26.zip", after it hits about 41% complete, I start getting a whole bunch of file errors. I think it says something like 'error...
Updating with answers Rob gave me by phone (in case others have same questions)...
I just purchased a 5600, ADAHRS, EMS220, GPS250, Backup battery, ARINC and ADSB receiver + cables. I currently...
Hello,
I have an AFS4500 display running S8.8.42-MV16 firmware (Feb 2019). I generally fly with a 3-page overlaid view (AHRS, Map, Engine). In this configuration, the trim control does not...
