 Topic: IFD540 Software Release 10.0.3.0Posted: 23 Mar 2015 at 1:09pm |

ok, so I am clear that I understand what is supposed to happen...I'm flying SBY v1 CRE KHYW. Maybe I am misinterpreting the manual which reads "The compact view hides all intermediate legs of an airway between the entry and exit point."
There are roughly 14 waypoints articulating the airway between SBY and CRE (both are VORs). The View Expanded should show all 14 waypoints in the FMS flightplan tab. If I toggle to View Compact I would then see the individual waypoints I've already passed; plus the current segment info; and then V1 CRE KHYW for the remainder of the flightplan, correct? Sorry to be so anal, just trying to understand this properly. Bill

I noticed the same thing relative to expand/compact. I was trying to demonstrate it to a pilot
yesterday and it didn't work. I know it has worked before. BH |

Hi Guys, thanks for the quick responses.
My observations...the view compact/expanded item. I had no problem scrolling through the waypoint list. I toggled the FSK multiple times before and after the current segment and didn't see a difference. I will check again next flight to confirm. The traffic display intruder tracking has me scratching my head. I would swear I saw the tail part prior to the 10.0.3 upgrade and the pilot guide shows the tail (along with a second icon under "Additional Traffic Information which shows exactly what I now see in flight) so I am a bit confused and may be having another of my increasingly frequent senior memory moments about it. However, the 530W I replaced with the 540 certainly showed tails and I recall that as a specific check item when I first flew with the 540. I'll look again when next I fly and advise. Thanks again. Bill

Not sure about #1 - Compact/Expanded operation was not affected by 10.0.3.0. Maybe teeth6's post explains it?
As for #2 - IFD540/440 does not support the tail part of TIS traffic display. They appear just like standard TAS traffic symbols. |

I know V1 is quite a long airway. The active segment on a plan does not expand and retract....only future segments. If you were on V1 and expected the waypoints along it to become compact, that is a possible explanation. |

Folks,
I had the 10.0.3.0 upgrade done last week. It took two attempts to complete but my nav data and personalized settings came through intact. Upgrade was done by a dealer/avionics shop with my watching over his shoulder. I notices a couple of things since the upgrade and am wondering if anyone else has seen them:
Other than that, 10.0.3.0 corrected the loss of signal issue I had seen before the upgrade. I only had a couple of hours flying with the 10.0.1.0 firmware so other things may have gone unnoticed but I definitely see the changes mentioned above. I have to say I love the box...during the IPC the instructor told me to enter a non-published hold and it took me all of 10 seconds to punch that in and start flying it. Quite the improvement over the GNS-530W I had before. I had practiced with the ipad simulator for a few hours and everything worked as expected in the air. Great stuff. Thanks in advance for any info. Bill |

Just received the bill from Southern Avionics in Mobile,AL. $628.61 for a plug and play.
The letter included my certification and the handbook sheets. The certification says that the IFD540 was updated to 10.0.3.0 and nav data and charts were updated to the latest date and was ramp checked and released. When I got to my home, I checked for the changes. I discovered that the changes weren't there, The system page read 10.0.2.0. I contacted Avidyne and was given the update procedure. The procedure worked as was expected. I have nav data ,but no charts. That is being taken care of by Avidyne. The shop also installed a breaker that I brought home and it works fine. Trust but verify. I was told by the shop that Avidyne credits them one hour for the upgrade. It took a week to get my log entry and handbook update. The shop says I should have brought it back for warranty work to correct their error. That would have been another $150 in fuel. They say that is the cost of a/c ownership. They say they are taking an hour off the shop rate which is $110. Needless to say, I won't recommend this shop for any work. |

Am I correct in saying that the software release version 10.0.3.0 the air/ground output for the AXP340 is active and will enable the auto "ON" of the transponder? And yes, this is assuming the wire is connected.

I received several terrain alerts on a flight this weekend while at least 13,000 above the ground. Would you like me to send you the logs?

Apologies. No, I don't think we need those logs.
Orest has experienced the same issue. This is a specific case of GPS issues and one that we believe we have addressed in Rel 10.1.0.0 which should be available by next month. |

I made 2 flights today. It was the first flight where I saw multiple GPS loss events. On my return flight I did not see any, however, I did see one other thing on the return that I have seen once before. On the FltPlan page when I wanted to scroll down to go direct to another waypoint, I was not able to scroll down. I had to leave the fltplan page and then return and I was then able to scroll down.

There are well over 100+ folks who I know have upgraded. I'm aware of about 3 who still see some type of GPS-related anomaly. Teeth6 is the only one who we've ever heard that has a related issue where he gets terrain alerts for no good reason. They are definitely GPS induced. Has anybody else seen this before?

Check the update page and be sure you have the update. My install
shop managed to update to the old level.

I've sent an email to Jake and tech support but for others, I did see the same GPS loss issue multiple times on my flight today with 10.0.3 installed. It seems I am the first to still be experiencing this after the software install.

Second flight after my update today. I had to cycle the 540 three times to get any GPS signals. So on the forth start it saw satellites. According to tech support, this was an issue and the new software was supposed to fix this issue. When it finally worked it was pretty quick acquiring. I gave it over six minutes on the first start and gave up when the signal page wasn't doing anything.

Thanks guys for all the info. The problem has been resolved.
This is a very nice community of like minded people. I am glad to have participated in the pre-buy and have enjoyed the forum. It goes without saying that Steve is a good person with people skills that are unmatched. Thanks again.

George, I thought you were asking what would happen if the charts accidentally got erased after you bought them. Once you buy them, there will always be an update available on your JSUM site. Even after downloading the current charts, the site does not toggle down to zero so if your charts got wiped out and the FOB was wiped out, simply download from JSUM again onto the FOB and reinstall.

That might work if the installer had not formatted my fob.
It was then attempted to update to 10.0.3.0 and apparently was unsuccessful. Once I got home and checked for the update, it was still at 10.0.2.0. I was successful in updating the s/w ,but the charts are gone. The fob was empty when given to me. Thanks , it was a good thought.

If you are talking about the approach charts, you have a never ending supply so if they are accidentally erased just reinstall them from your FOB.

Any update on the disappearing charts? I will probably continue on and purchase a subscription without checking them out on the old charts. I just don't understand why they should have been erased. I also hope that the next s/w update doesn't erase them,once I buy them. |

Yeah, it went back for VHF check, OBS and not sure other mods a few weeks ago while the second unit was being installed. It was then returned and updated to 10.0.3.0 with considerable effort (NOTE: putting it on a 28v instead test stand instead of the ship's 14v w/ APU seemed to make a huge difference when doing the updates). Flew it home last evening and I was curious if the checklists cross-linked and when I pulled up the page it was blank. I then started looking and the odometer and it was reset too. The two units look almost identical now, not a big deal in my case as I added a 2nd unit and was going to reconfigure everything, but wanted to pass it along. |

Can you clarify what happened with the units? There is no way the Rel 10.0.3.0 software upgrade should have wiped out checklists, settings, odometers, etc. Are you saying the units also cycled through the factory for hardware mods?

Yeah my two units didn't update smoothly, but I just picked my plane up after getting #2 installed and it appears either the update or my RMA'd hardware mods deleted everything on it.
Checklists, settings, odometer, etc. Just passing it along. |

Thanks, that is the manual that is called for.
Another question, after the update the charts are gone. They were there when the box arrived at the shop. I saw them. Called tech support and they say that the update erases the chart data. Not good. After the update the nav data and obstacles are current(Mar 03). This can't be right. I want the out of date charts to determine if it is worth the outlay to back up my ForeFlight with Jepp. I don't want to buy them to see if I want them.(Pelosi style)

No problem installing the update today, other than a temporary error message. But the new software eventually loaded fine.
I hope this will resolve my unit's tendency to reset in the first 10 minutes after powering up! Mike |

Must have been operator problem on my part. It downloaded this time.
I will go and try update. And yes there was a charge for that and probably a warranty charge also. This dealer is owned by TCM. I wouldn't recommend them at this point. I also got a new circuit breaker for comm. The old one is in my possession and is good.

Got my new toy back from the dealer. Playing this morning and checked system. The dealer said they had updated the software,but it shows software 10.0.2.0. .I attempted to go to the dealer site and received the bulletin, but no update found. I am an IA/A&P and should be able to accomplish this without taking the a/c back 150 miles for the update. Please help to resolve this problem.

Patience is a must when doing these installs. We get impatient and think it has stuck someplace. I'll often start the upgrade then leave to BS with another Hangar tenant or go around the corner and get a sandwich from the deli. This prevents me from "watching the clock".

I agree that the SIL instructions are extremely well written. Every possible question I had was answered before I had it. eg. The install seems stalled at 100% progress......SIL " It is normal for the progress to remain at 100% for several minutes. Wait until the install is complete message appears." Great job Avidyne.
