    To add information; I've had the IFR staticcheck done. The altimeters are no more than 10’ off. I’ve flown the 8 leg test patterns and determined that my static system is not a problem.

    AGL question

    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...

    Flight Director Format

    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...

    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...

    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...
