Very helpful video. Does a tailwheel plane need to be in level flight attitude for this rotation procedure?

No, you do not need to lift the tail for a tailwheel plane.

It seems the alignment process for the 5600 is a bit different than what is shown on this video. It seems some of the steps shown in the video are now skipped and the instructions are to "taxi" in a circle (not turn.) Might you comment on the differences?

Thanks,
Dick

With the new AHRS it skips some of the steps.

With the ADAHRS 200/201, the manual states that the engine should be running. So is the procedure different than with the older units in which you turned the aircraft in a circle with the engine off? Is having the engine running critical to calibration?

How do you do a mag along on a 5500? Can't find any info? YT vid I found shows totally diff proceedure and buttons to the 5500!!....grrrrr

I just went through this. The YouTube video of Rob showing the calibration process isn't applicable to the version 16 software, apparently. We hauled my plane out to the airport's compass rose, and then followed the on-screen instructions. Those directed us to sequentially align the airplane in the four cardinals and push the button at each cardinal.
