Airways Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Allright, time to ship this thing. Can I take the adi out by just unscrewing the 4 bolts or do I need to take off the glareshield ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I take the adi out by just unscrewing the 4 bolts or do I need to take off the glareshield ? I was able to remove my Ki256 with oversight from my local A&P. The glareshield will most likely need to be removed. The input and output of the vacuum will need to be removed and the electrical vacuum switch will need to be removed. Also, my Ki256 had a backing plate that will fall if you were able to disconnect everything and remove the insturment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airways Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Allright, I tend to give it a try. It doesn’t sound too complicated unless I’m missing something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxMike Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Although removing the KI256 is not to large a problem. The reinstallation is a big problem and requires a King shop. The KI256 needs to be run on the bench with the autopilot computer. If not done there will be little chance the KI256 will run the autopilot satisfactorily. You might talk to Bob Bramble about this. I sent miner in for overhaul years ago I also sent the computer and he set them up (for a little extra money). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airways Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I had my AP computer recalibrated a month ago. Bad timing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro cantarini Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Had the same failure today, 10 degree bank showed, plane flying straight hSI also showed 10 degrees of course, I suspect the hSI is hitting the dust, getting twin G5’s mid January, wasn’t much fun hard imc, got ForeFlight up and flew partial panel, my autopilot never disconnected but was finicky to keep heading I end up shooting ap off and flew by hand. Non event 1.5 hard imc w the 10degrees showing, I get into clear sky and dam thing gets back to normal. I wish I had extra 16k to swing the garmin autopilot all the same time.

Just so you are aware, twin G5s won’t run your King 150 autopilot. The G5 can replace your King HSI but a G5 can’t replace your KI256.

Airways Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Have a look at the Aspen E5. They offer it now with HSI and air data. You can hook it up to your AP if you add an EA100. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
