Not sure why it did not follow the vertical even though both were exact same approach/altitudes.

We are working on everything right now. The annunciation bug will be fixed soon. The AP will still fly the approach as before, but the annunciation is not there for the GS. Both of these issues are top priority right now. Thanks! |

The problem with the dimmer has been resolved. We were able to modify the units to prevent this problem, regardless of the circuit boards installed.
We are still working on the GPSV annunciation issue. I will let everyone know as soon as a fix is ready. This fix will require a software update, which as you all know requires sending the unit back to us.
Thanks for your patience!

Lucas,
My AP is back in the mail to you. You should get it Monday or Tuesday. What is the GPSV annunciation issue? Does my unit have it? Thanks for all the help!

I just replied to your email, but I'll post here to get the word out.
We have also now fixed the software issue with the GPSV annunciation for glideslope coupling. Something got changed in one of the revisions that made it just say GPSV, instead of GPSV ARM, GPSV DN etc. This has been resolved also. Thanks! |

For those of us not yet flying, and therefore not able to test if we are having the problem, how do we identify the units suspect of needing the fix???
A list of models, and serial numbers would be nice.
If we have one of the units that are suspect, should we just send it in for update/fix, or wait till the plane is flying and confirm any issues before sending it in??
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike,
I think I might be able to help you out. If you have the old display (not the dark colored one), then you're immune to the dimmer problem. If your display fails and we replace it, you still won't have the dimmer problem.
If you have software older than version 2.30, you do not have the GSPV annunciation problem. If you send your unit in for update, you will not have to worry about it as we are now shipping version 2.32 that is corrected. I hope this helps! |

My unit is a flat pack, I beelieve it is a little over 2 years old.
As "dark colored one" is not too descriptive, I am not sure is it is the one with issues. "Dark colored" is totally subjective-----

LOL, fair enough. The display you have is green when lit, and sort of clear looking when powered off. The new displays are completely black when powered off and have a bluish-black backlit with white digits when lit.
If you're flat pack is 2 years old and have the green display, yours will not have this problem. Thanks! |

Lucas, thanks for the response, this one I can figure out.
I really do appreciate you taking part in these forums. It is comforting to know you are out there.
