Yes, the altimeters do reflect field elevation, on the ground. I should have mentioned that I have the AFS ADHARS and the G5 (independent ADHARS), that display similar baro altitudes, both seeing...
On a recent flight, I noted that the "AGL" was indicating 12,700 while the baro altimeter indicated 12,000. Am I right in assuming that AGL is GPS derived and accounting for topography? If so, then...
Works pretty well, doesn’t it!
As great as it is to have the autopilot working well, I really enjoyed the tuning process.

Thanks Jonathon! Easy enough when you know the fix…

What was your altitude when you entered and activated the destination?
I tried to adjust my horizon line (AFS 5600), while flying. I 'thought' I understood well enough how to do it, but I proved that wrong. I usually print out the pages I need, but this looked...
Yesterday, I got email notification that data updates were available. Today, I pulled up the data manager and found that the new data had been downloaded and loaded into the thumb drive in the...
Update: I'm loving this system! With Jonathon's help, I can now pre-program crossing and terminal descents to my satisfaction.
I learn new stuff every time I fly.

I only got into the Advanced system this past December. Creating the Seattle Avionics account gave me a bit of heartburn, but that was probably my own fault. I use an old PC that my wife discarded...
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the great information! That’s really good to know..

Jonathan! I think I get it!
I’ll build a flight plan of 4 waypoints, with altitudes. I’ll take off, activate NAV and VFPL and lower the bug to 200’ agl (minimum). It should then cross each...
Thank you Jonathon. If I’m understanding this correctly, VFPL only displays the PROMPT to achieve the crossing altitudes I’ve entered in the flight plan. It’s only a prompt because the altitude bug...
I have a AF-5600, Dynon autopilot, Dynon transponder, Dynon Com and audio panel. No external navigator. I can setup flight plans and crossing altitudes, but nothing I've tried will cause the...
Me too!
Hi folks,
I am the proud new owner of an RV-14a with an AFS 5600, Dynon com, transponder, audio panel and autopilot. I’m more used to Garmin stuff, but I’m growing fond of the 5600. In the G3X,...
