Re: lat/vert modes when engage AP

Bob Turner, Thank you once again for the spot on tutorial. You saved me Avogadro's number in fuel cost. Flew today armed with you notes. Everything was as advertised.

lat/vert modes when engage AP

There are several modes for the LAT/VERT AP which are explained (after a fashion) in the 2009 User Manual. My question is: when you engage the AP (I have a GRT AP and dual HX with a GTN 650) what mode should the LAT and VERT default to? You can press the softkeys and the AP modes show up (as I write...

RAIM

I have dual Hx with RAIM option. I recently added a GTN 650 and see that there is a RAIM check in the menu. How do we do a RAIM check in our GRT systems?
thx,

Bob,
I was unaware of the audio output "future feature" as I had an avionics shop install my system. Any chance when this feature goes live that it will enable music from my XM connection?

ALERTS

I am getting a "EFIS VOLTAGE BUS 2 TOO LOW"

Initiating XM Wx

I bought an xm wx module second hand and have installed it. I didn't get any docs with it as to what its ID is. Also the GRT User manual offers no help.* Any help on getting this up and running? thanks, Don *Note to GRT tech pub writers. Take a look at the Garmin GTN 650/750 user manual. That's now ...

autopilot setup

I just converted autopilots from Trutrak to GRT. I haven't finished the condition inspection yet so there are no flights. I'd like to solicit any/all comments suggestions on the setup etc. For example, do you find that the "book" settings need to be changed dramatically, very little, or at...
