I'm trying to figure out if there's a discussion forum for Advanced Flight Systems' EFIS. There are groups for GRT, Dynon, MGL and BMA but I can't find one for AFS. Anyone have a link?

rickmellor said:I think the best approach is to have an open forum that is hosted by the company (official forums). Companies shouldn't censor the posts but should monitor / participate heavily in the discussion (e.g., Dynon, BMA). I haven't followed the MGL forum but I'm sure you guys are quite active there as well.

I apologise, but I do not know MGL, but I am almost ready to buy my avionics and I would like to know how to contact your company for information. Can you give me your web address?
Thanks,

Is this because you are using three angular rate sensors and not a mechanical gimbal kind of thing? I'm just curious to how it actually work.Rainier Lamers said:...
The correct term is "aiding". What it means is to use sensor measurements other than gyro "rate of turn" and acceleration measurements to figure out how you are related to the Earth surface level. What we are trying to do in particular is to somehow remove the apparent errors caused by accleration on the horizon view derived from the accelerometers to get a vector on Earths gravity.

The equipment, and hence the aircraft, knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't.........

. However, it is sure where it isn't and knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't ( or vice-versa ) and by differentiating this from the algebraic difference between where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the difference between its deviation and its variation; this difference being called error.
It's a joke but not to far off.
