I know you are using the Avidyne unit as the "demo" unit for teaching purposes. If we simply replace the Avidyne nomenclature with GTN-650, the same procedures should work. Correct?
Right now my plane is in pieces getting painted. Once that is completed (in maybe two weeks) I'll step through your tutorial and see if my unit will "play nice."
In the time from January 2017, and present, there have been NO changes to my system, wiring, etc. except software updates. And, as I've mentioned previously, after the July update, is when the AP simply won't lock-on to a flight plan; whether internal or from the GTN. That's why I've been pointing to the updates throughout my postings.
IF there are no fundamental changes in the software between the sources and the AP, then something has gone goofy with my AP control head.
Mel,
I was where you are about six months ago. I had a failure of the AFS ARINC module and the ARINC receiver card in my Trutrak Vizion. The ARINC diagnostic page in the GTN650 was how I got the data to troubleshoot the issue.
The other possibility is that you may have an open circuit. Perhaps a wire broke at a crimp or chafed due to vibrations?
Does the AP follow the Heading bug on the EFIS?
