Over the weekend I did the first flight of an RV9 that had a D60. During the first two test flights I found the indicated airspeed off significantly. Being someone who is proficient in embedded design I looked to see if there are calibration offsets that could be programmed.
There are not.
Really?
Are other EFIS's like this?
It would be a simple matter to have a screen with a look-up-table of offsets that one would determine thru test flying. With the advent of digital instruments there is no reason one would have to physically adjust static ports to get the airspeed to read correctly.
I'm actually sort of shocked that you can't do this.
