DFC90-Aspen PFD Integration Status Update (10 May 2012):

Today we took delivery of the B55 Baron at our Melbourne facility for characterization flight testing.  We expect to be done with that by 18 May.

We also received what may be the final load from Aspen that we're now testing in the lab and the airplane.

Subject: Entering a HOLD that is programmed in the FLT PLN
Posted: 03 May 2012 at 6:22pm

Ever since I upgraded to the new 9.2.4 release I am having issues with the autopilot capturing the hold.  The departure procedure from my home airport is to climb over the airport in a shuttle over the VOR.  I always program this shuttle climb hold as the first leg of my flight plan in the FMS.  After takeoff I hand fly towards the VOR and then engage the DFC100. The system used to capture the hold automatically and the DFC100 would climb to the necessary altitude.  Now even though I press NAV on the DFC100 and the hold is in Magenta on the FMS, the plane flies straight through the hold.  I even press NAV twice to ensure I am not in HDG mode and yet it will not capture the HOLD.  I am forced to do this manually and when I do press NAV in the hold the system wants to jump to the next let of the flight plan.  Has anyone else noticed this behaviour and is there a reason this behaviour changed with the new software release?
Thanks, John

Got it.  The SMS text messaging will come along as part of the MLX integration (#6 above).]]> Thu, 03 May 2012 08:11:30 +0000 http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=123&PID=695#695 Avidyne SynVis : Avidyne SynVis - General http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=123&PID=694#694 Author: Harvey

I'm particularly interested in SMS text messaging.  It seems such a waste to have the QWERTY keyboard and no functional communication link in flight.  Thanks.]]> Wed, 02 May 2012 22:11:45 +0000 http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=123&PID=694#694 Release 9 Insiders - Anyone can post : EAB support http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=217&PID=693#693 Author: AviJake

Sounds great.  Your contact in Avidyne Sales is Jonathan Pelletier.  His email is jpelletier@avidyne.com and his number is 781 402 7520.  He'll be pleased to sow you the product line and show you around the facility and we can spend time in the lab - that's definitely worth seeing.]]> Wed, 02 May 2012 17:20:00 +0000 http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=217&PID=693#693 Avidyne SynVis : Avidyne SynVis - General http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=123&PID=692#692 Author: AviJake

Hi Harvey,

There are some features that I won't discuss here because it would give away some elements of IFD540 we're not willing to disclose yet but for starters, here are a few features that are baseline to the IFD540 that would come over to the R9 system after the initial release of the IFD540:

1. TSO'd TAWS-B;
2. Integration with the "Avi Stack" (e.g. the Avidyne AMX240 Audio Panel and the Avidyne AXP340 ADS-B Transponder);
3. Support for XM weather data;
4. Support for XM and Sirius Music channel selection and control;
5. Improved Info Pages;
6. MLX Two-way international datalink (this might be a "dot release" after initial one);
7. Improved Map + page datablocks;
8. Improved User Waypoint functionality.

Do you have any specific "wish list" items in mind?

Could you please outline what 9.4 improvements will mean for Platinum DFC100 systems?  Thanks.]]> Wed, 02 May 2012 15:25:59 +0000 http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=123&PID=691#691 Release 9 Insiders - Anyone can post : EAB support http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=217&PID=690#690 Author: avirvniner

I would be most eager to visit.

Not even close to flying.  Finished tail for RV-9 and hoping to begin wing kit soon.  I plan on making it a fairly capable IFR vehicle for short-range, warm weather travel.
 
Thanks!

Yes, would love to see the picture.

My email is sjacobson@avidyne.com

Looking forward to the picture, and more importantly, the 540 being done.
