    Where's my GTN750xi altitude range arc?

    All this is good info. Makes me think it's not my installation. I have honestly seen this work in Slings with G650s and GFC, but those planes have G3x's and it shows on the G3x not the 650. I wonder if that function only currently works where there is a separate display, not the 750 itself. But...

    Where's my GTN750xi altitude range arc?

    If you look at the photo in my original post, the option to turn it on or off should be the last item before "restore defaults." You can also see it referenced in the diagram of the "map settings" tree in the manual. If you have the Garmin trainer, you can also see it where it belongs in the map...

    Where's my GTN750xi altitude range arc?

    Hi Ryan: No Boeing Banana. Glide range ring works fine. VNAV works fine. Altitude set in G5 altitude bug. I'll check the utilities page next time. I'm 99% sure baro data is being sent. I know temp data is being sent because I see density altitude on the ground in the G5. I've used this...

    Where's my GTN750xi altitude range arc?

    Hot on the heels of the missing ILS glideslope (was a bad splitter), I see another issue on this new 750. There's no altitude range arc. In the map settings, the option to turn the altitude range arc isn't even there. I see where it is supposed to be. Very odd. Any thoughts? I have not...

    GTN 750 not sending ILS glideslope to G5s

    Well here is the W&B revision and I don't see anything that jumps out at me. I didn't see any new port splitters listed on the invoice either.

    GTN 750 not sending ILS glideslope to G5s

    Ryan: right. You reminded me I wanted to check the invoice, which is in the plane. I will be there later today. Also, I took photos of the GTN screens you mentioned, but not sure if it matters at this point.

    GTN 750 not sending ILS glideslope to G5s

    So I finally had a chance to get back with this and check a few things and I found something VERY interesting. I flew a couple of approaches with the VLOC #1 and I noticed that the glideslope indications on the G5s were intermittent, as if it was losing the signal. I actually was able to...

    GTN 750 not sending ILS glideslope to G5s

    Ryan, I greatly appreciate your assistance. I watched them test it. They did use a signal generator box sitting on the ground near the tail. I watched them switch some things that made the GS go from full up to full down deflection, depending on a setting in the box. It worked fine. What...

    GTN 750 not sending ILS glideslope to G5s

    Ok, so I checked that today and you were right, the "transition to approach" selection had been checked in the config mode. I unchecked it but I didn't have a chance to take it out to test it. I will hopefully know in a few days.

    GTN 750 not sending ILS glideslope to G5s

    I think he said t Ryan (and all): thanks. I will try to check this today. It seems weird to me that this would matter, since I would think that you should be able to just tune an ILS freq in NAV1 with nothing else in the 750 and it should work like a normal ILS receiver. But I don't claim...

    GTN 750 not sending ILS glideslope to G5s

    I'm not sure if there are one or two antennas. I got the impression that it was just one. I didn't think to ask that question. He did say something about splitters and cables and that was what made me think it might be a cabling issue. I've tried and failed to understand exactly how all of...

    GTN 750 not sending ILS glideslope to G5s

    We just got a new 750xi and two G5s in a C182. I am in SoCal but the install was done in AZ. I noticed that the G5s will not show ILS glideslope info (the NO GS flags are showing) although it is showing and tracking the localizer. The 750 is on VLOC, the Nav 1 is correctly tuned, and the G5s...

    IPad Cooling

    Well mine is black so maybe that is a contributor. The general lack of overheating issues in high wing airplanes makes me think it is something specific to my use. I mean it wasn’t like it was 120 deg. It was definitely warm in the cockpit but I was still in a high wing airplane and there was...

    IPad Cooling

    So after several dimming/shutdowns in a C172 with iPad 10.5 on my lap after 45-60 mins on, I got the x naut with high hopes. But today using the x naut flying eastbound with the sun shining directly onto my lap, approx. 80 F in the cockpit, It started dimming after about 45 mins even with the x...
