Had a weird one today.  I have the flight timer displayed on the left side of the IFD and I understand that it should start counting when the airspeed goes above 40kts.  It has worked fine until today.  After the flight, on the way back to the hanger, I noticed that the flight timer was still at 0:00.  I flew for at least a half hour and this is the first time that I've seen this behavior.  Anyone else?  I have the 10.1 update.

Was it working fine with 10.1 and is now no longer working? Or has it stopped working since the 10.1 update?

Yes, the flight timer was working fine after the 10.1 update.

One thing I love about the update is the advisory glidepath. I haven't had time to research it yet but does it only work on non precision GPS approaches and does it work on all non precision GPS approaches?

If you notice it happening again, send the logs to techsupport(at)avidyne.com

It works on certain approaches that have the advisory glide slope information such as LNAV+V and L/VNAV. Of course, it also works with LPV approaches.

Simpson, When you say it works on certain approaches what are the conditions that make it not give advisory glideslop on some of these lnav+v approaches.

Are you referring to the "TOD" & "VSR" functions, or something else about Glideslope display/guidance?
