Software Update - Emergency Glide

[jkgoblue]

Saw the announcement at Oshkosh about the new software. Just wondering when it will be available.

Reviving this question, though not sure anyone is monitoring the forum much anymore...

Didn't make it to Oshkosh this year and was wondering if anything became of this for AFS. I believe Dynon has it already.

Emergency glide is coming with 17.1.0 EFIS software which is due to be released ASAP. We had hoped to have it ready for Oshkosh but could not quite make that schedule.

Any updates on the emergency glide and the new SiriusXM device?

I updated both of my EFIS screens yesterday with the new 17.01.01 software. I followed the instructions step by step and got there.
Actually they are pretty good instructions with screen grabs to help.
I have a couple of issues to work out.
The annoyng one is the screens both show a warning "Emergency Glide needs calibration" note which I can't find a way to do, or dismiss.
I went and updated the glide data and saved it on both screens and still couldn't get rid of the notification for long.
I did this multiple times.
I ended up flying for an hour with the box on the screen without an issue.
I almost always find the culprit is me, so I'm looking for suggestions for doing it right.
Any thoughts?
