NotarPilot Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Does anyone know what would make this PFD have this red tint. Seems ready red upon turning on the master but goes reddish-pink as the unit warms up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIm20c Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Everything on the screens speed/position/attitude is still initiating so I’m guessing the pfd will turn red if enough systems are still off line. Probably to make sure the pilot starts looking somewhere else for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one doesn’t do this on initialization and looks the normal colors. It also remains tinted red like this during flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishboneash Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Almost looks like a display driver hardware or software issue to me. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkaye Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Time to send it in for repair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Typical color screen failure... Does it work normally and just suffer from bad color control? Or is there a larger problem, and the device isn’t working properly either? PP thoughts only, not an instrument tech...

Please share the cost when you find out. The Avidyne pfd’s are really expensive to repair, wondering where Garmin falls for repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have your Avionics Shop go into Maintenance mode to see if it does it there as well. If not, have them replace the Config module. Weird issues like this can be caused by a bad config module.

Garmin can't help a customer out :-O it is not as if that aren't making money off you already with nav data every 28 days. And to boot we the tax payers are subsidizing the data portion. I am certain that Garmin has some sort of data daemon the gets data formats puts it's on the server without human interaction. So only thing that Garmin is really paying for is the power and the server, network and maintenance. Oh I forgot some lawyer's salary and pension.;-] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
