After flying my buddy’s RV-8 with a Garmin EFIS and AOA I decided to put AOA in my -8. I have an AFS EFIS so I recently installed a Dynon heated AOA/Pitot tube to replace the heated pitot tube. I ran an additional AOA line back to the Adhars and everything is working well, sort of.
I calibrated the AOA per the AFS instructions and the EFIS AOA display is working perfectly. The problem is I have no AOA audio. Rob from AFS has been assisting but so far we haven’t found the issue. I’ve checked the main EFIS configuration and set the audio volume at 60% and hear all the warning audio including the “angle, angle, push”. I checked the AOA configuration menu to set the AOA volume to 100% and hear the AOA tones clearly in my headset. In flight- nothing, even though the AOA display works as advertised. Also tried messing with the volume controls in the Garmin GMA 245 intercom and the headset volume controls- still nothing.
My goal was to have the AOA tones to use on an approach. The AOA display is a bit too small in the EFIS and I’m looking outside mostly when landing so the display isn’t really in my crosscheck.
Am I missing something simple, perhaps another setting I have to turn on or enable somewhere else?
