Re: Experience with Touchscreen on 10.1
I've got the touchscreen and admittedly rarely use the touchscreen portion. The knobs and buttons are extremely well engineered making their use almost intuitive and generally quite efficient. That said I have found using the touchscreen on the map to select an airport to add to the flight plan some...

Re: Utility of internal IFR Approach option on 10.1
I've got the IFR Approach option and find it works great, particularly in conjuncture with the autopilot. Even if you aren't using it for flying the approaches (assuming you connect your A/P to a TSO GPS and use that to fly the approach or something similar) it should be useful to support having the...

Re: Approach Plate loading
Well I found a menu option about Plate Source which was set to AUTO. I toggled it to CHART DATA and then plates were detected and can be brought up. Toggling back to AUTO appeared to continue working. I am hopeful that resolves the issue so I can work on getting better at the buttonology involved wi...

Re: Remote Radio Control
Turns out my issues were other things like, incorrect antenna orientation, bad antenna wires, issues with poor grounding on shielded audio wire shielding, and an irritating style of old pin connections to the audio panel. Various changes including swapping out the audio panel and many updates to the...

Approach Plate loading
I'm probably doing something wrong, but I don't know what. The result is that when I try and display an approach plate I get a message that there are no plate available. I've got the 10.1" Horizon with Dual AHRS and IFR approach option, yesterday updated to software version 2.0. USB loaded with...

Re: Remote Radio Control
I've got the VAL COM2K and NAV2K connected to the EFIS. Frequency and volume controls appear to work fine. I'm working on tracking down an issue where the COM radio will work great until I complete a run-up, and then will only transmit carrier wave but no sideband information. I'm trying to determin...

Android App with the Horizon 10.1
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure out how to connect my tablet running the GRT app to the EFIS. I found a "wireless" setting in General Setup which indicates an option to enable Bluetooth, but it doesn't appear to work. Is there a different way to connect t...

Re: AutoPilot Engage/Disengage switch
Thanks! Sounds like I'll go with a momentary switch on the stick wired to the DISENGAGE input, and that should satisfy my needs for external switches on the autopilot. I imagine I'll be fine for engaging the autopilot via EFIS alone.

Camera inputs
In the product description it mentions the ability to feed a camera (or multiple cameras) input into the EFIS for overlay display. I am not finding any information on that in either the installation guide or the user guide. I'll admit I've barely cracked the user guide, but I swear I've read the ins...

AutoPilot Engage/Disengage switch
So planning my EFIS install and curious about various switches and other items to go in the new panel. Installation instructions for the EFIS mentions some pins available for auto-pilot engage/dis-engage switch, which makes sense and I'll be adding in the pitch/roll GRT servos as well. What I'm tryi...
