2 Questions: Plate source and yellow AHRS
Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2019 12:55 am
Greetings.
What does the "Plate Source" option do (selects between ChartData and PDF)? I've noticed that if I have both my Seattle Avionics sectionals (in "ChartData" folder) and the plate PDFs (obtained via the downloadplates scripts in the "plates" folder) on my USB drive, the EFIS will only let me see the sectionals, not the plates. Is the "Plate Source" option related to this?
What does "AHRS 1" in yellow on the EFIS mean? In flight when I was on A/P, my EFIS was showing "Dual AHRS" but then spontaneously showed "AHRS 1" in yellow and the A/P got a bit squirrely for a few seconds before the EFIS returned to showing "Dual AHRS" on its own. And in the hangar today (which doesn't permit a GPS solution), the EFIS was showing "AHRS 1" in yellow.
Thanks.
