Do both gauges use the same transducer? If so, I'd look for a ground or signal wire issue.

Must be that Y2K bug....

FWIW, Aspen has claimed to eliminate the "red X" failure mode by, if memory servers me, allowing the system to continue on partial input (GPS with loss of air data). Side note, I think I've seen more negative reports on the Sandia / King AI than on the Aspens, especially when one considers the install base.

The newer GTN software has Visual Approach Guidance for such operations.

When thinking about the iPad panel mount do remember about the IFD100 app for iPad that links to your IFD...

And here I am shyly making sure that Mooneyspace didn't get infected with brexit talk... Whew! ;-)

The G3X has engine monitoring too, not strictly necessary to go G500. The Dynon HDX does engine monitoring too. But this is becoming thread drifting on ice

Damn, I miss Breaking Bad...

My wiener dog, aka dachshund, usually rides in the passenger footwell of a car. He's learned that staying put down there is better than getting tossed in the trunk for the duration of the trip. He usually just puts his head on the center console, or curls up down there and goes to sleep, depending on trip length. He hasn't logged any airplane time yet, solo or otherwise.

@khedrei - can you get the FAA history from when the plane was under FAA? The stuff you order online through here.

@Kris_Adams - when able, can you please share a link to the backlight switches from Spruce or wherever you're sourcing them from?

But then it's going to be $33/mo - are you sure you want to do that? ;-)

@EricJ - a pirep request for when you get to use the flexible vividia, please. I have the fixed one and it works great once you figure out how to use it - if you can get it to what you want to look at.

Actually, it works better to google for: whatever and ever site:mooneyspace.com The "site:mooneyspace.com" limits the results to those from mooneyspace.com - simples.

I'm pretty sure the AV-20S is not a reliable AoA indicator... Calling @0TreeLemur from the other (backup AI) thread.

Isn't that mirror called "ADS-B in" in the US? ;-)

The horror is when you have to clean out all the crud from the wheel wells and such ;-)

I plan to go with Dinitrol AV8, the AP/IA likes it best, because it dries nicely. LPS3 is his second choice. Corrosion-X and ACF50 are, I believe, older generation, although also work well.

It will go in the left panel. With 90% certainty it will be portrait (I only loose the individual CHT/EGT temps from what I can tell) in the rightmost "lane" - AP annunciator will go up a slot, ADF removed, CDI moved to where ADF is. The other 10% is that both ADF and backup AI get removed, CDI replaces AI, EDM goes horizontal where the CDI now is.

Out of curiosity, have you considered the cost delta with ripping it out and replacing with GFC500 or some such? meow!

I would actually love to do this, in a couple of years. Buzz Lady Liberty on the way to Osh... The adventures of @flumag and @terbang are an enormous inspiration. All in due time. TBH, I've considered the reverse trip a couple of times, but the challenge of buying a first airplane from that far away ended up being overwhelming. Buying one relatively locally hasn't been easy nor fast either. Perhaps I scare too easily. Oh well, all is well that ends well!

The plane is N-reg, so FAA rules apply. I went through the whole AFMS for the EDM-900 and it does indeed mention that the unit "may replace any existing .. Fuel Quantity indicators required by the aircraft type design" in the "Operating Limitations" section on page 6. Too bad they didn't bother to update the "primary / non-primary" table on page 3... But the good news is it seems to all be as advertised. Thank you for the suggestion to read all of the fine manual, not just skim it.

@carusoam - that's my point :-) looking at the JPI docs: JPI EDM-900 AFM supplement for example I see no mention of either FUEL LEVEL being "primary" (see page 3). It does list "AMPS" and "Estimated Remaining Fuel" (which I guess is what the factory gauges display) as "non-primary" so I wonder what is the basis of being able to remove the original gauges from the plane, as people obviously do. I understand that the RPM/MAP/CHT/Oil Temp/Oil Pressure/TIT/CDT are all "primary" so that's good and clear, but how does the fuel and the current (AMPS) get handled? I am, for the time being, leaving all the original gauges, so I'll be legal, just don't want to miss something and have to go back to JPI or, worse, be stuck with not-exactly-what-I-wanted for the $5k + installation. EI lists both "AMPS" and "Fuel level" as a "primary replacement" on their CGR30-P/C combo. They also list "fuel remaining" as a "non-primary" indication, which leads me to believe the two (fuel level and remaining) can are technically (from a paperwork perspective) not the same thing.

So, two more, similar, questions... The JPI documents don't say if the fuel indications are primary or not, yet it seems to be OK to remove the original gauges, how so? The JPI documentation clearly states that the AMPS are non-primary. Is the basis for being able to remove the original AMPS gauge that it isn't listed as a primary source of info in the limitations section of the POH? This was supposed to be fun, eh...

You do set the bar high..
