Thanks, again, for the updated, Warren. At first I thought the power save mode suggestion sounded like a shot in the dark, but then I re-read your original post and think that the intermittent AHRS connection could have to do with overheating. It fits your experiences with the device...

Thanks for the update, Warren. The true vs mag bug should be easy to fix. It is an bug I've seen before and makes me think that the software guys are not pilots. The failure to connect or loss of connection is more elusive. The fact that it has been reported twice now (by you and...

Congratulations! Reminds me of my first solo in IMC 30 years ago! From KFIT to KCXY. I'll never forget it -- it was an experience that surpassed even my first solo around the patch! For me the instrument ticket has made cross country travel practical. My wife was a nervous flyer...

Thanks for the PIREP, Warren. The heading error sounds like a bug in the software where the AHRS display is reporting True instead of Magnetic. In Los Angles, the magnetic variance is 12 degrees positive which is the right amount and (I'm pretty sure) the right direction to account for...
