Re: Virtual ILS approach

Just to close this from my point of view. Rainier was in the middle of June able to recreate the problem. "OK forget whatever I wrote. I finally got a chance to do some flying. It is the missed approach - it's got a problem. The RPM comparison is the wrong way around - it does a missed approach if R...

Re: Hold function

Any progress on the Hold function inability to Cancel on the 'Active Waypoint' Status. Asked the other day to Hold and later when instructed to resume my own navigation the Hold Active Waypoint Status would not Cancel. In desperation selected a GoTo a nearest Airport, did not replace the Hold positi...

Re: Hold function

Apologies, slow response from me. Rainier, intercept is always from below the glide slope. Glide slope is set as standard at 3 degrees.The a/p bombs out because the Active Waypoint bombs out.

Hold function

Firstly remarkably this works really well with the autopilot and will take you around a hold relentlessly. However when you cancel the hold the Active Waypoint display continues to give you information relative to the hold and the HSI doesn't cancel either. On an old topic that has now been ignored ...

Re: iefis explorer issues

I had a not too dissimilar problem with ridiculous high oil pressure which in the end was a capacitance fuel sensor shorting internally when the tank was full. Somehow it was causing an effect on the RDAC box. So I would disconnect all your sensors connected to the RDAC in turn. If disconnecting one...

Re: GPS Xed out

I have an Explorer and a Discovery Lite, with the Explorer being the Master. I have had problems with GPS as well and sent Rainier screen shots similar to these posted here. Initial suggestion was the two GPS aerials should not be close. However significantly separating them did not resolve the prob...

Re: Autopilot Track accuracy

I have an Explorer G3 and it consistently flies slightly right of track Upto ½ mile, has always done so. Have mentioned on a few occasions previously. Don't use for an IFR approach!

Re: SkyDemon Compatibility

The only way I have got this to work is to set up a route on SkyDemon and then share it with yourself so you can pick up the .GPX file and transfer from the iPad to an SD that is formatted to be read on the iEFIS. The SkyDemon SaveAs will not create a .gpx file only the Share option. You will also n...
