Looks pretty cool. Is the enlarged VSI on the HSI all of the time so you can adjust vertical speed? And I assume the altitude preselect is done the normal Aspen way it was done before the integration, just now it tells the autopilot the altitude to level off. Get that right?

Next time we do a fly in, I need to spend some time looking over your Aspen.

BTW - the shop doing my upgrade told me that there is a box he is installing that will allow the Aspen altitudes for preselect and mins to play over your headset. In addition, he says there are features from the JPI 900 that can also be sent over the headset as a verbal warning for things like low voltage, oil pressure, etc. Not sure which box it is, but like the idea of what it can do.

Also, what is the TFC flag providing? I don't see any traffic being displayed on the Aspen.

Yes, the enlarged VSI is on all the time and you control the VSI with the ASPEN. Although I have to say that I prefer to use theSTEC knob for that...

Let me know about the box sounds cool.

Speaking of "want to haves" as opposed to "need to haves" I ordered the enablement to allow the 345 to display FIS and TIS-B on the Aspen. There's a 300 dollar discount being offered on the unlock by Aspen currently.

It's free for L3 Lynx owners!

traffic is being provided by my TCAS to the ASPEN.

Do you have any photos of what traffic looks like on the PFD? I am having the L-3 9000+ installed and the PFD will be unlocked along with the MFD. curious if it shows up on the AI or just the HSI's map.

You can see a target at 3 o'clock. Depending on the relevance it changes color. It also shows up on the AI if it is in front of you.

Do you know if the traffic will show up on the AI if you don't have SVT?

It doesn't on mine, only the HSI page.

Thanks for the reply on this. It will be interesting to see what the L-3 will display on the Aspens. I reviewed the firmware update specific for ADS-B and it appears the Aspen working with the L-3 will have some interesting traffic reporting (like ground vehicles that are transponder equipped). My main focus is what is displayed on the MFD including all of the weather products that will be available. Exciting times.

Traffic is displayed on the SV pages of the Aspen from the Lynx, and will also show on the HSI page if in that display mode.
