Re: Can't seem to load approach

On the 480 you have to "execute" the approach, which I did each time, but the choices remained gray. I fly with a 480 in every aircraft I have flown ~12 years, so I am pretty proficient with it. It initially took me ~15-20 hours to get comfortable flying IFR with the GRT, but then I didn't...

I have an HXr with GRT autopilot. I am connected via ARINC and Serial to a GNS 480. First of all, I was able to load approaches last year. Plane was out of commission from April - November.

Re: Configuration Of Audio Alerts

Configuration Of Audio Alerts

I have the appropriate wire connected and can hear a "ping" when there is an alert on my screen. I have no idea how to configure verbal announcements and see no directions anywhere on the website. Can you point me to the configuration screen/set up instructions. I have been through all the...

Re: Lost Vertical Autopilot

Well, after much discussion with Tech support, we decided that the shear screw was likely broken. I waited and received the new screw today in the mail and went to install it. ~15 degrees warmer today. Shear screw is intact. I followed the procedure above and the servo moved normally. I didn't get a...

GPS over USB

I think I may have seen this addressed in the past, but cannot find/remember the response.....

Can a USB GPS "dongle" be connected to/confingured/used by the HXr?

Can I configure >2 GPS sources?
