Emergency glide does not work with Trutraks. There is no way to externally command a Trutrak to pitch for a given indicated airspeed, which is required for emergency glide to work.

Harold the EFIS gets baro altitude from the static pressure sensor in the ADAHRS, and the EFIS then rebroadcasts it to the transponder.

You cannot use the RP4 trim position LED indicators and simultaneously have trim position display on the EFIS. If you want to use the RP4 displays instead of the EFIS for trim display, then:

Mike can I confirm that you are running 17.01.01 public release software, and not an earlier 17.1.0 beta somehow? We did have issues with the notification not always disappearing after setting the...
The SkyView SV-AP-PANEL autopilot control panel also contains the trim controller circuitry for our avionics, and eliminates the need for the Ray Allen Relay Decks. If by chance you are not...

Changelog:
- Emergency Glide feature
Rumors of our forum's demise are greatly exaggerated.
You are right, Craig, forgot that was added a couple years ago. SET --> EFIS --> HDGC:W/HDGC:G to toggle between the always white or fade to gray after a few seconds.
Harold the default AGL calculation is your GPS altitude minus the synthetic vision terrain altitude. It can switch to barometric altitude - synthetic vision terrain altitude if either GPS altitude...
There are a number of IR cameras which relate that they output standard definition CVBS video. None has been tested, but any of those should already work with the existing AFS video input adapter.
The settings are stored in the EFIS, just make sure that the dongle is plugged in before the EFIS is powered on, otherwise it will fail to load the device drivers if you try to hot plug it afterward.
Emergency glide is coming with 17.1.0 EFIS software which is due to be released ASAP. We had hoped to have it ready for Oshkosh but could not quite make that schedule.
No. The only transponders which can be controlled directly from an AF-5/6000 series EFIS are the Dynon SV-XPNDR-261/262, the uAvionix TailbeaconX, and the Sandia STX-165R.
It's worth trying a new dongle at this point, we are not getting widespread reports of outright failures to connect to the wi-fi. Important to note that the Dynon wi-fi dongle widely sold has...
Hal neither runway information nor enroute altitude profiles are going to push over from Foreflight, so these will need to be manually added from the FPL menu afterward.

If your AF-5600T uses a SkyView SV-ADAHRS-200 for primary flight instruments, and your pitot/static/aoa plumbs to the ADAHRS, then you need a SkyView SV-OAT-340, which are widely available from a...
The AF-ARINC adapter inputs are not configurable. ARINC channel 1 is expecting VOR/ILS data, ARINC channel 2 is expecting GPS data.

Hal it does sound like it could be a bad dongle, but we have new EFIS software we'd like you to install first. The software corrects the intermittent wifi issues that we believe were introduced with...
You're not wrong that the extension is a possible additional failure point, which is why I requested that you check without it. The extension spaces the antenna a little further from the rear of the...
GPS altitude only comes over the serial port connection from the navigator in aviation data format.

It should complain; you should get a pop up message on the EFIS that says "LOAD NEW MAP CYCLE?" with yes or no buttons on the bottom of the screen. Pressing YES will initiate the install of the AFS...
The .afz extension is just a renamed .zip file. If you extract the zip file, you will see that the AF2MAPUS.AFM file is what is packaged inside.
Yes you do need the AFS map data as well, it powers the AFS map, airspsaces, obstacle database, the synthetic vision, EFIS airport directory, and so on. Seattle Avionics software downloads the AFS...

Hal you should have the short (only 4" long) extension cable; it came with every wi-fi dongle sold for your screen's generation.
Another thing you should try is this:
- go to SET --> CAL...
