Release 10.1.1.0

Just an update.  I got my plane back after a new alternator.  Flew an Angel Flight and experienced the failure of the flip flop switch occasionally.  I used your procedure, and it works.  Thanks for the info.  Now, I will just wait for 10.1.1.0.

I have a feeling there will be no further updates until it is released as Avidyne said they were just waiting on the FAA and it was "any day now."  That could be anything to the FAA. :)

Mike.  I will try that whenever I get the plane back.  I know it has the latest software, was just installed 3 weeks ago.

That really sounds like more than a software glitch, to me.  Seems like there are way too many folks using 10.0.0.3 and 10.1.0.0 without having that much trouble with the flip-flop switch.

I'll check with the guys back at the building (I'm traveling overseas right now).   Last I new, it was still "any day now".

I wonder what happened in the FAA meeting today.....

Steve,

I know it's the same question, but is there any update on the 10.1.1.0 release that you understandibly  thought might be out by now?  I have this awesome Avidyne avionics suite and it's getting rather frustrating flying the IFD440's with all the glitches. 

Thank you.

The only correct answer is "when the FAA says so".

Let's hope the government poops it out before they go on break for the holidays this year.

GPS may be typically better, but not everybody has it (yet).   ATC needs to see equivalent altitude reports from all aircraft.   The way the FAA ensures this is to have transponders report pressure altitude rather than some other form of altitude.  GPS wasn't around when this decision was made, but imagine if the transponder reported indicated or baro altitude.  Aircraft at the same altitude, in the same vicinity, but with different altimeter settings would report different Mode C altitudes, perhaps indicating no collision risk when in fact such a risk was imminent.  

Perhaps in the future when all aircraft report ADS-B out it would be possible to switch the standard to GPS altitude.  I think the likelihood of such a decision by the FAA is extremely low for at least a few decades - I think it more likely that at some point well after 2020 the transponder will not be required for UAT ADS-B out equipped aircraft.

If you have a serial source of pressure altitude (Aspen, recent ACK A-30), that can be the input to the transponder instead of the parallel Gray code.   The serial altitude provides a higher resolution pressure altitude (to 10', rather than the 100' of the Gray code).   The 340 has two dedicated Serial inputs: one for Altitude, one for GPS Position.  The install manual notes that if you connect the parallel code, it will be used, even if the serial input is present.

So will that make it 10.1.1.1 or 10.1.2.0 or will it still hit the streets as 10.1.1.0?

Is there any update on the release of 10.1.1.0?  Or is this a foolish question given

bureaucratic labrynith of the FAA? Just getting anxious....

Sorry for the late reply, if you are interested in a stylish Avidyne Insider Tshirt, email me at sbennett(at)avidyne.com. We have Large and XL.

I got a Pilots Guide, but no T-shirt.

XL please, I'll wear it proudly.

Is the bt keyboard still in the works?

Me too!!

T-shirt??  Oh now you've done it!

Try deleting everything after landing in the link. Then it worked for me.

Simpson,

I have been reviewing the installation manual at revision 5, and there is still the same error in Figure D-18 that existed when I first did my installation.

Pin 1 of P1001 from the IFD should connect to pin 24 of the CDI.  If you connect it to pin 18 as shown, it will NOT work.  If connected as shown, it will indicate Back Course mode on the CDI any time VOR or LOC is the active mode of the IFD.

Another question is receiving info on updates.  I have never received any e-mails from Avidyne.  How do I get added to this list.

Yes, we will adjust the magenta line on the HSI.

While true, I have found the situational picture of ADS-B to be superior. XM paints an additional lower range of returns, which makes its overall picture appear more threatening than that of the ADS-B.
