Sky view Low Airspeed Alert

[Jeff Vaughan]

While making my approach to landing in my 12 the Skyview will pop up a Low Airspeed warning that covers the Ball. I have not been able to find how to get rid of this warning or move it. Anyone experience this?

I'm not seeing the ASPD LOW warning covering the ball on my D1000T, perhaps you have the HDX and it is different?



The warning is related to the AUTOPILOT. Make sure the AP is off and not armed, or AP rocker switch is off and it may not appear. Just a guess on my part and maybe something to try.

The warning is a function of the Flight Director function of the autopilot and will show up if the autopilot is deactivated but the FD is still active, and the older software versions did indeed have it in that described location. It has since been moved in the last software update - go get that and install it, and you should be good to go.

Hmm. I have an HDX and I thought I have the most up to date software version
Off to the hangar tomorrow to check it out

Thanks

You may be able to turn it off in the Setup Menu.

Jeff, did you get rid off, or move this message away from covering the ball?

I just noticed this post. I ran into this exact issue on my last flight 2 weeks ago and have been looking for a solution. It seems terribly counter-intuitive to have this alert completely cover the ball at a time where uncoordinated flight could be disastrous.

I also am flying an HDX with the latest software (June 2019). In my case this happened while I was doing some slow flight maneuvering at a safe altitude. Autopilot was disengaged. The Pilot User Guide suggests that this alert is an output of the autopilot. I don't mind the alert at all, but not at the expense of the safety that the ball provides.

Maybe Dynon can weigh in?

I have this same issue using the HDX in split screen mode (PFD primary). Disabling the flight director will make it go away, but it would be really nice if the low airspeed alert could be moved or disabled.

[Jeff Vaughan]

I will reach out to Dynon. Maybe you guys can too. Literally Safety in numbers !

Check the stall speed in the settings menu. The ASPD LOW message is a function of how close you are to that number as well. The stall speed in your plane should be quite low so if set accurately, you will probably have less trouble with the message.
