GLIDESLOPE AND LOCALIZER CRACK

I am hesitant to adjust the Pitch axis settings, just because everywhere else, the AP perfects great for me. Watching my video, it is quite amazing how fast things happen in the last few seconds. The AP was just not adjusting quickly enough for it, I wonder? I will have to wait for a better conditions to test that theory. One theory I had was that the reason for going low, was the reduction in the headwind component as you get closer to the ground. One anomaly for today, was both approaches were with a tailwind on final approach.

I was doing this solo, which is really hard to do. It did dip a quarter dot but it actually did recover nicely. Of course now, it pretty much flew the approach perfectly, both 30 and 12. I recorded another 2 practice approaches with my camera phone recording the screen. Hats off to Dynon for accomplishing what they have accomplished. It just goes to show how difficult it is testing these devices. Ok, as of today, it seems like I was crying wolf. It is frustrating to think that the last few seconds of the approach, the AP is misbehaving at such a critically low altitude.īeen flying this setup for a while but only consistently flying IFR the past year. I now realize it is consistently doing this.Įvery other aspect of the AP behaviour, in cruise, in climb, in descents, are all good. The last few times while VFR/VMC, I let it get low hoping it was just temporary and it would correct.

After tracking the GS perfectly from FAF, why would the last few seconds consistently get that low? It is long enough where the AP does not attempt to correct by levelling out at all. Around 600 ft or so, the AP consistently comes in low on the glidepath a good quarter to a half dot too low.

The issue comes in at about the last 5 seconds of the approach to DH at 380 ft AGL. Both GPS 12 and GPS 30 Approaches with a Garmin 400W. Is it just me or anybody else get this? Granted, I have only definitely noticed this at my home drome. I too have an issue which is not addressed in this thread. There is another bug we are trying to smash, have been for years and it seems it is nailed, so good results to follow. I do not know if the next release will have the improvements. Now the next thing is trim totrim needs to be something like 105kts=100% and 130kts = 35-45% Gain 1.5 to 1.9 We found 17/1.5 or 16/2.0 but in that range it was good.

No amount of tuning will engineer out a crack in the disc.įor now, with the servo not cracked, and current software, try the following Well I didn't cause it but another RV10 owner and I discovered while trying to help him out, that there has been a material change in the SV42T actuator by a supplier, and YOU MUST read and verify if your servo is affaected immediately. I am partly responsible for the recent service bulletin. Of course with all these things it becomes more complex with tuning for cruise and for radio navaid and GPS approaches, but its just another couple of dedicate parameters. There is an improvement coming, I am testing it at present and the first flight was an immediate improvement.
