carqwik Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/USAFAA/2019/04/04/file_attachments/1186713/InFO19005.pdf Does anyone know if legacy GPS's like my KLN94 will be able to handle the rollover? I am assuming anything from the major avionic OEMs should be ok... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steingar Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Got me. Just spent big bucks putting one of those things in my panel. Just my luck it goes FUBAR months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I am assuming anything from the major avionic OEMs should be ok... This is only an issue for how it calculates the date. Is the KLN connected to anything else? If not then you are probably OK.I would go out in VFR and test it out first.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Sounds awfully similar to Y2K computer issues... Y2K was a huge get ready, Determine your overall risk, wait for the day... stand by.... Celebrate that nothing happened out of the ordinary... Computers that were ask risk, were ancient, short on memory, and short on computing power.... they only used two numbers for the year... and the software wasn’t written to handle 00 coming after 99... Each OEM should be familiar with their hardware and this challenge. And... they should have prepared a statement and posted it already to their website... If your hardware is completely unsupported because the OEM no longer exists... then you might have a hidden challenge... So... be ready with your back-up plan... Expect the computer world to have your back... it isn’t y2k anymore... Know that most GPS devices were built after the y2k experience...! PP thoughts only, not a computer guru...

Andy95W Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Has anyone been affected by this? My old (ancient, actually) Garmin GPS155 can't find any satellites. Then again, my wife is on the verge of approving a purchase of the new GPS175, so this might be a blessing in disguise. (I haven't told her yet that I'll need a new indicator, so I might as well get a G5. I'll tell her that part at OSH.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 I flew on the 6th, later in the day and noticed that it took the GTN 650 a lot longer to acquire satellites. It eventually got 3D coverage but took several minutes. I thought it was due to the jamming stuff that was going on but it may be this.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy95W Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Well, shoot, maybe I'll just have to step into the 21st century. On the plus side, at only $4300, the GPS175 will actually add value to my airplane. And the Connext function is included for free. Yowza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLCarter Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Had lunch with a buddy Wednesday and said his Dynon D-1 stopped working, worked fine the day before but Saturday was a no-go. Would boot up then an error about GPS and would turn off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orionflt Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Avidyne has a patch also, had to install several. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old (ancient, actually) Garmin GPS155 can't find any satellites. Well, it seems my G100 (now, that's ancient!) could not find location as well during my ADSB post-install rebate flight. So, rollover might be an issue even if Garmin said it should not. Shucks! GPS175 would fit nice as it is the same size but I really want to replace it all with something like Avidyne IFD and get rid of my old king Navcom.

Igor_U Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Just a quick follow up: After reset (holding CLR while power up) and input the Long/Lat data GPS100 found the satellites and it's working again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingcheesehead Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 There's a thread over on Beechtalk... Apparently, all of the L-3 Lynx NGT-9000s quit displaying weather data because they think it's 1999. Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest word is that they hope to have a solution to their Dealers by the end of May. Their Dealers are the same Avionics Shops that are backed up for months with ADS-B installs. I’m sure that they will be willing to set aside all of that work to update our Lynx units for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 This was more predictable than y2k. I'm a little puzzled as to why it's breaking so many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
