| 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? ------------- Simpson Bennett Avidyne Corporation Product Manager |

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 Bennett Avidyne Corporation Product Manager |

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. ------------- Dave |

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