GRT Avionics

Again, that helps a lot. I need to go out and do some work with what you’ve told me. Particularly learning more about how and when auto mode switching in being done on the IFD navigator. I will report back with any IFD particulars I discover.

Thanks!

That all helps a lot.

The wild card in my experiences may be the automatic mode switching in the Avidyne navigator. I have a checklist item to confirm mode switching is anticipated (the Avidyne displays GPS>>VLOC) but I don’t check to see when it actually occurs. I will do some testing and checking ...

So on a VTF approach, after the last vector has been given and I’m ‘Cleared for the ILS/RNAV 22L approach’, I should hit the EXECUTE key.

What I’d like to expect is that the system would keep navigating on a straight line until close enough to the intercept for a smooth, anticipated turn on to the ...

Having done a number of ILS intercepts with the ARM feature engaged, I’ve never managed to have the system automatically switch from HDG mode to NAV mode, when ARM is engaged, as it intercepts the Localizer. Instead I’ve had to manually switch from HDG to NAV in order to have the AP do the intercept ...

I have an RV-10 panel with an HXr and (2) HX displays. After a period of 3+ weeks of non-use, the 2 HX displays start-up with flickering screen images. The longer the period of non-use, the worse the flickering.

I have not tracked the timings precisely but after 4+ weeks of non-use, one screen was ...

Okay then! Thanks for the quick response.

I ‘nexted’ out of it until I got a normal display. Did the Config set and confirmed that Techsen = H. My GRT HX panel lit up properly with all engine input displayed and after startup, the tach worked. Success. Test flight to follow since I’m still afraid I ...

I’ve been using a model 6000 in my RV10 for over 10 years. I recently installed 2 Surefly SIMs and a Tach2 unit. Everything was working properly except I was not getting a tachometer reading (0 rpms). The problem appeared to be the need to change TACHSEN from “L” (low) to “H” (high).

I attempted to ...

Thanks! That's what I needed.

I'm guessing that the settings I used for the UMA T1A9 pickup will work as-is but I'll check the TachSend setting = High.

Does the EIS require SureFly's Tach2 product for tachometer input?

Here is the description of the product:

Tachometer Signal Converter
The Tach Signal Converter (Tach2) converts SIM P-Lead signals to negative –going signals compatible with the Horizon P-1000 digital tachometer input and to a ...

Is there any support for GRT products (HXr) by the Bad Elf Wombat product? The Bad Elf Wombat webpage list GRT as a supported product but I can’t figure out what kind of support it might offer.
