Thanks, Rob. I am going to have to send to you for testing. The fall colours are coming out now in Canada so it is prime flying season - let's revisit this when we are grounded by snow! :)
Hi Rob,
I did the tests you outlined below, and everything checked out exactly as you indicated. The only exception is:
For EGT-1 test, you say that pin 13 -OR- pin 25 should have open...
I have a dual AFS-3500 system in my RV-7A. I have always had a problem where the EGTs and CHTs for cylinders 1&2 appear to be in 'sync', for lack of a better word, and cylinders 3&4 are in sync. ...
Just an update for future readers - a new battery fixed the problem!
I have a dual 3500 setup in my RV-7A, has worked like a dream for years. The right-side EFIS (EM) still does. The left-side EFIS (EE) is now reverting to some type of default setting (?) after...
Hi Rob,
Confirmed at the hangar today that I'm running the latest version: 7.3.7. MV15

I am running a dual 3500 setup, and believe I have an intermittent connection to my carb temp sensor, but have yet to find the problem. While waiting to fix it,I tried to silence the alarms - but...
I have been having the same issue here in Canada - I use the Jepp NA maps, and it does not show any VORs. Do you know if the fix they implemented for the EU guys has also been done for the NA maps? ...
Hi Trevor,
Next time I go flying I will confirm a few large lakes etc that do not show up.
On the other point (decluttering), I personally see the NRST button mostly for use in emergencies...
Thanks, Trevor - got it working no problem. Another related question:
Is there any way to show more detail on the maps? I fly only VFR, and there is very (VERY) little detail on the maps in my...
Great - thanks, Trevor.
Will that Jepessen data work with the latest AFS software for the 3500 (i.e. version 7.03.07-MV15-AV40)? Or do I need some beta software to run the Jeppesen maps?
Hi Trevor,
I have been running older Beta software + maps from before the map data became available from Jepessen. I would like to make the jump to 'real' Jepessen map data, which I need since I...
Hi Trevor,
I'm in Ottawa, Canada, so we get plenty of winter here. Good to know there is a fix, albeit it a pricey one. I actually put my name on the upgrade waiting list months ago (mostly just...
I have a dual -3500 setup in my RV-7A. Normally they work great. But on very cold days when I start the plane, the AFS screens will not turn on - no sign of life whatsoever. Do you know why this...
I have a dual AF-3500 setup in my RV-7A, with the AOA option.
I am installing a POS-12 position sensor for monitoring the flap position (needed for the AOA to work properly). My question is,...
Hi Rob,
Related question: I have a similar setup, dual 3500's with AOA. My AOA probe is connected to the pilot-side EFIS (3500EF). But the microswitch for monitoring my flaps (RV-7A) is...
