You raise a good point Galin
why drones are allowed/encouraged to use cheap OUT devices in the interest of safety, and experimentals that are allowed to use different categories of OUT devices, vs. certificated, i.e., the Navworx fiasco. It's just a big mess that cannot be defended.
Hi John, I have the 5000 series AFS as well. This 470/472 is the IN only part of the Dynon ADSB which works very well as I have the 470 version currently. For the OUT I have the AFS/Dynon remote transponder which is 1090 out and very happy with the it too. Hopefully NavWorx will get their act together so no changes are necessary for you but I think you would need both units from Dynon or AFS. Larry
I scrounged an iPhone running iOS 9.x a few days ago, downloaded v1.5 of the EXP app and upgraded the firmware in my EXP from 5.62 to 5.70, the result of which is my iPad now communicating more reliably with the EXP. Apparently there was some sort of issue with the app and iOS 10.x, now resolved. In any case my EXP continues to perform, feeding my GRT Sport, which I prefer to look at over the iPad. I wish the best for continued success to NavWorx, I'm very happy with the product.
I'm running the original software that came with my -EXP 2 yrs ago. I got a perfect report from the FAA check. I'm a strong believer in "don't mess with success". Why should a person "update" software for the -EXP?

The FAA only cares about ADSB-out. The previous poster said a software update improved communication to his iPad; e.g., ADSB-in.
Bob Leffler - thanks for the update...hopefully, I'll get a response soon on my unit in for repairs. Things appear to be happening there! Mine is in for Non-AD related repairs although I expect that they'll do what is necessary to be in compliance with the AD before shipping it back - maybe causing the delay. It has been there for about three weeks now and they did acknowledge receipt.
I am unable to update my ADS600EXP to firmware version 5.7, even when using my old iPad running software 9.3.5. My new iPad mini with software version 10.xx works OK in flight most of the time, but won't perform the update either. The in flight functionality on my iPad mini using Foreflight is spotty - sometimes it doesn't work at all. I'm thinking, if I could get this new firmware load, it might work OK. During the update it starts out OK, but then says "update failed" or something like that. After re-booting as suggested, it starts again, only to fail again. After going through this many times, it finally just kind of froze on the failed message. Clicking 'OK' only momentarily removed the failed window, and then it reappears instantly. The failed window is preventing me from doing anything else on the app. I don't know what firmware version I'm running, and I don't know how to find out. I guess I have whatever firmware was on it when it was delivered last fall. I've tried to update 2 other firmware versions before and they didn't work either, at least I don't think they did - no way of knowing as far as I can tell. If anyone has a method to update NavWorx that works, please share it here for all of us. I did pose the question/problem to NavWorx. Hopefully someone here or there will have an answer.
I got the same e-mail request. It seems like a very odd request.So what type of questions is this guy asking?
So what type of questions is this guy asking?
I would like to ask you questions about your purchase and how you heard about the Navworx ADS-B product line.
Classic legal fishing, trying to make the case after initiated.Why would purchase information, or "How you heard about" have anything to do with an AD? To me, it sounds like they are building a case of false advertising which to me, has nothing to do with safety. This smells like CYA to counter a colossal FAA blunder.

The FAA (DB) called me back and I asked the why and who questions. Answers were:
I work for SEIT (an organization that seems to have no clear definable mandate).
I can't tell you why, I am just collecting the info for others.
No, I can't tell you who the others are or what they will do with the info, or why they want it.
I told him I'd be happy to answer specific questions on FAA letterhead with a purpose and goal stated, and an officially responsible name and division related to the AD on the letterhead. He said he thought that was a good idea, and thanked me for my time.
Is 5.7.1 a new update for the exp? What are the changes? Will it open the 1090?
I have a Navworx ADS600-EXP being fed by a KT76A through a TransMon.
This equipment was installed on 05/06/2016 and has worked without issues for 36 flight hours.
In the past, I had requested a few ADS-B reports and all came back with no issues.
I just recently requested another ADSB report using the following link:
[email protected]
Here is the message that I received back that it failed to generate a report.
*****************************************************************
Your Performance Report request for Tail Number N812BM on 5/04/2017 failed to generate a result.
If you believe this is an error, please respond to [email protected] and include the following information:
1. Aircraft registration number and flight identification code,
2. Flight date and time,
3. Make/model of ADS-B transmitter and GPS, and
4. Any ADS-B avionics operating abnormalities observed or reported during the associated flight.

I submitted the requested info and got the following reply a couple of days later.

So bottom line is, at present my system is working fine but can't get an ADS-B report ????
The FAA reply refers me to the document about the FAA and Navworx debacle.
So there you have it from another Navworx dazed and confused customer
