Having a strange issue and wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar...
When doing an ILS approach, the localizer locks on and then once established the autopilot disengages and the green course deviation needle disappears.
Trying to diagnose if this is a software issue or perhaps my antenna. Glideslope is still working, so I’m leaning away from it being an antenna issue. I’ve got the archer NAV antenna, and its worked fine in the past. Only thing that has changed is that the wingtip came off for paint, but I’ve taken it off and verified that everything is still connected. I’ve also removed the paint in the dimples on the end of wing to make sure that the screws are making contact with the wing for a good ground.
Strange thing is that even when I lose the course deviation needle, the GTN650 still shows ID for the LOC frequency and I can hear the Morse code.
Thanks
Charlie
