Update to AOA volume- one of the recent software updates fixed the issue I was having with the AOA volume. This along with some configuration changes recommended by AFS and all is well. Now I can...

I have my Dynon Pitot/AOA probe grounded locally to one of the ribs and have no issues.

Gotta love AFS, they listen and implement customer requests. The latest Vx16.10.36-B11 03/22/2024 version fixed the AOA volume. I can now set the alert volumes to about 40% which puts it more in the...

Just got word from AFS that the fix is in the latest software being flight tested so good news. As always AFS listens to its customers and their tech support is outstanding.

According to AFS there is a new software engineer that is working on rewriting the EFIS sound system including the AOA volume. With my main EFIS and intercom sound adjusted to a normal level I still...

As always the customer support from AFS is top notch. Sometimes you just need some help from the experts to explain what your hard head doesn’t read what’s written in the manual (page 150). But then...

I’ve tried pressing the bottom button on the right side of the EFIS (RNGE button) and hold down for more than 1 second to get a screen shot to save to the SD Card inserted into the top of the EFIS....

There was some discussion from AFS about software updates coming late January to allow more AOA volume. Haven’t heard anything, and progress?

Problem solved, flew with the settings changed to AFS recommendations and the Rich/Lean display works fine now.

Have exchanged a couple e-mails with Jonathan about the use of checklists in the EFIS. I understand how to program the checklist contents and they appear correct and in the right order.

What I...

As,

I got an answer from Rob at AFS- evidently I had an older version of the software to go on the “engine manufacturer” page with a lot of manually inputed RPM vs MAP tables and an altitude...

I have an AFS 5500T EFIS, in the pilot’s guide it describes showing the word RICH or LEAN status on the display. I have never seen either on my EFIS but perhaps I just haven’t noticed before. I do...

I have exchanged e-mails with Rob about the AOA volume not being loud enough. I know it was on the list but any updates on a patch to the software to increase the AOA volume independent from the EFIS...

I have read that some EFIS systems can broadcast AHARS date to EFBs to display synthetic vision. I can get my AFS 5500 to easily send ADSB weather and traffic to my IPad running WingX. WingX has a...

Thanks Jonathon- it looks like there is a shielded wire on that one which I assume is the ground wire. My current sender has no shielded wires so can I just snip off the shielding off the wire when I...

I have an AFS 5500 EFIS with the tach sender attached to the side of the left Slick mag. This Saturday I had the same symptoms as the guy in the first post. I removed the tach sender and found the...

No comments on above post?

When a destination is selected on the 5500 EFIS from GNAV or internal flight plan the ETE is displayed in the top right corner of the EFIS. I would rather have ETA to waypoint but I can’t figure out...

Shawn,

I am also interested in a Go Around button as the current method of activating a missed approach has too many button pushes. I have to execute the Go Around on the GTN 650 for lateral...

Finally solved the issue. The configuration change that Jonathan recommended had no effect on the pressure reading. I did connect the Kavlico fuel pressure sensor to my air compressor and verified...

Jonathan,

This was the first engine start after receiving the engine back from overhaul by Aerosport Power. I have not flown it since overhaul yet for this and several other issues I need to...

I installed the new style Kavlico oil and fuel pressure sensors. The oil pressure reads fine but the fuel pressure shows 38 PSI. I changed the values on the 5500 touchscreen by...

Jonathan,
I have an AFS 5500 touchscreen with the Skyview network, internal EMS and version 16 is loaded and working. How do I manually enter the calibration and what values are entered so the new...

I have installed the high burst pressure replacement Kavlico sensors and according to the above post they are directly selectable as fuel and oil PSI options on AF-5000 v16 software. Is this a drop...

Thanks Shawn, that’s what I ended up doing. I have the TCW battery installed but haven’t wired anything up yet. Seems like the best solution. My buddy has an RV-10 and installed a Plane Power standby...
