Think a loose connection could cause this? I plan to go in and check all the wires tomorrow morning

The main change is that the flap indicating lights were upgraded since the old ones were broken, and I had the brake tubes and cylinders replaced. Would that be enough to do it? The instrument was installed three years ago and has worked in all four seasons. Nothing else changed. Would it...

My brake lines and cylinders were replaced because they were leaking. They also replaced my flap indicators from the old kind to the new push to test kind.

I have a GI 275 installed as my primary HSI. The plane just came out of Annual, and I am now getting intermittent heading failures. When indicating a heading failure, TRK is displayed. However, when HDG Failure is not indicating, the heading is off by over 60 degrees. This is a new issue...

Garmin recently published Service Advisory 20112 Rev A stating that the AHARS magnetic model expired and needs to be updated. The GI-275 is supposed to give you the option to update it when you install a new nav database, but mine did not. Garmin was worthless answering the basic questions of...

Thanks!

I have a GTN-650 and a GI-275 configured as a Primary HSI. I need to renew my Garmin subscriptions. For $299, I can be IFR legal by just getting the 650 Nav database vice the $650 OnePak that updates everything. Has anyone chosen to only update their GPS database? Any issues navigating off...

I have a GI-275 as Primary HSI, so it has the required backup battery. For the annual Backup Battery Test, can the pilot sign that off, or does it need to be an A&P/IA? Is any log book required? Garmin Technical Service said they THOUGHT it was pilot performed with no log book entry required...

I got the GI-275 HSI installed with a GTN-650, and it is fantastic. I did have one follow up question: when I hit the CDI button on the 650 on the Default Nav page to swap between VLOC and GPS, should that also switch the nav input displayed on the GI-275 (green VOR/ILS or purple GPS needles)...

I installed a GTN 650 with a FlightStream 510 in June. Every time I try to update the databases, they will smoothly transfer to the 650 via Database Concierge, but then some randomly fail to go active On their effective date, giving the error message “Database corrupt or not active.” I spent...

I was in a very similar boat. I had two KX-170B’s. After much research and thought, I ended up replacing one of them with a used GTN 650 connected to a 275 HSI (my DG started to spin, so I needed the HSI) instead of going with a 175 or 355. For Comm/Nav 2, I left one of my existing KX-170B’s...

I installed a GTN 650 into a single engine aircraft. I know it’s super minor, but the icon on the GTN map is of a twin. Anyone know how to change the ownship icon? Thanks.

Anyone know where the setting is placed in the huge setup menu? I know how to get into the configuration menu and this seems like an easy option to toggle. Second configuration question: if I change my Default Nav on the GTN, it doesn’t automatically change on the GI-275, and I need to...

Thank you all for the input. Yes, I compared the trainer app to my unit, and the options aren’t there. The same is true for the Utilities Menu. It says VCALC with no option to toggle to VNAV.

No- I will get a picture tomorrow if it will help. The VNAV option simply isn’t there. The TEMP COMP is absent as well.

I just installed a GTN 650 loaded with 6.70. When I looked at the Flight Plans settings, there is no option for VNAV anywhere as there should be per the instruction manual, and I couldn’t find VNAV anywhere. Any ideas why the options simply aren’t there?

I don’t know if there were any differences in old ones. I got mine new from Sporty’s about three years ago and it had the USB power. I also got a dual USB charger That goes in a cigarette lighter from them- use one plug for the xNaut and one to charge the iPad. It is a great combo- you will...

Inyokern is a GA hidden gem, especially if you want to fly in strong winds!

I fly out of Inyokern in the middle of the Mojave Desert with an iPad Mini 4. In my work plane where I keep it on a knee board, it overheats regularly even though The plane is climate controlled. In my personal plane (a Debonair), I have an xNaut cooling mount on my control arm in the center...

One less cable is especially welcome when said cable is for a young kid’s game and likes to unplug regularly, leading to much screaming and consternation in the cockpit! I subscribed to your YouTube channel. Great videos!
