Multiple Current Sensors with iEFIS Challenger

I was looking to install a second current sensor with my iEFIS Challenger G3 and RDAC XF. The manual for the MGL Current Sensor show how to install multiple sensors on an EFIS Odyssey G2, but the menu for my Challenger is different and it doesn't look like it's possible to do this with the newer pan...

V16 Longevity

Hello all. Wondering if anyone else has experience a failure with their V16. We just lost our 2nd V16 today. The plane came with a V16 when we bought it and that one failed after about 3 years (according to the installation date in the log). We replaced it with a new V16 and that one failed today at...

Re: Discovery Lite altimeter

I experience this same thing on my Challenger and Explorer iEFIS screens as well. Not just the Altimeter bouncing around but the VSI readout can jump from something like -500 to +500 fpm within less than 1 sec. It makes the readout useless.

Using iEFIS for IFR Flight

Is anyone using an MGL system for IFR flight?

I know that MGL iEFIS is not TSO certified but if you add a certified Garmin 430 as the primary GPS source and the aircraft meets 91.205 it seems like it might be possible.

I'm just curious if anyone is doing this now.

Thanks
Kirk

Lithium Ion Backup battery and AVIOGuard

Has anyone used Lithium-Ion backup batteries for their iEFIS systems? Looking to add a backup battery and AVIOGuard to my existing iEFIS system. Does anyone know if the AVIOGuard can charge Lithium-Ion batteries? The AVIOGuard manual specifically mentions lead-acid and I know the two battery types r...
