    Posted: 28 Sep 2015 at 8:16pm
Here is the list of items resolved/included in Release 10.1.1.0 - I know it's a little cryptic so I'll field questions as they arise.   This release should be available by the 3rd week of October:

1.Update nearest list at a higher rate;
2.Persist the FLTA User option across power cycles - this means whatever you've selected for FLTA status will stay instead of resetting at each power cycle;
3.Change the line select key label on the System Status tab;
4.Change some alerts to be delete on ack.  The updated Pilot Guide identifies which fall into this category.  This will have the affect of not leaving the "MSG" lamp on caution panels on for benign, acknowledged conditions;
5.Fix missing alert volume bar - the alert volume bar was previously inadvertently removed if an external TAWS system was identified as being present;
6.Fix Info tab map display - there was a bug where the Info tab map could be partially missing depending on map orientation;
7.Fix a bug where an IFD440 occasionally boots as 540;
8.Removes an OBS Deadband issue;
9.Fixes a visually corrupted chart display on the IFD540;
10.Map popup now shows contiguous airspaces as single pop-up;
11.Fixes a bug where User ID causes setup page to jump;
12.Adds pressure alt on ARINC429 transmit parameter;
13. Fix standby comm (monitor) volume attenuation problem;
14. Fixes a Regional vs. CONUS weather display conflict;
15. Enables OBS legs to display on EX500/600/5000 MFDs;
16. Fixes a bug where stored routes could display an incorrect airway;
17. Fixes a bug where Comm flip flop button occasionally would freeze up;
18. Removes nuisance FLTA off message in EGPWS equipped aircraft;
19.  Fixes deficiency with GPS PPS signal;
20.  More improvements to GPS signal integrity;
21 Improved Avi-curve dimming curve such that a slope of 1 (100%) will give 100% brightness;
22. Fixes a bug with Pilot Controlled Lighting and Super AWOS stimulation mic clicks;
23. Fixes a bug where button/knob functions could become inop.

Thank you for #13,  finally get to try the comm monitor out.

#3 - AUX page SYS tab the line select key on the left side of page changes from "Select" to "Status". The previous label was confusing to some users.

What is the update procedure? I presume just a USB key insert, but does it take long, multiple steps like 10.1, or a little simpler given that it is a 10.x.X release, like the 10.0.3 update.

USB squirt from fob. Much easier than 10.1 and a lot closer to 10.0.3 level of effort.

Sounds like a good thing that has been requested by more than one user.
Will there be new settings to configure in either the maintenance setup or the user setting pages?
Or this is just the new thing if Avi-curve is selected?

Same parameters/settings as before in Mx Mode - the slope value now has a greater influence (now 1:1) such that 100% slope results in 100%  brightness.   We had previously empirically determined that 21% was the optimum max value generated by 100% slope during development a few years ago but we were wrong.

Did I miss something or is the ADS-B traffic not included in 10.1.1.0?

It's in there but it's not explicitly part of 10.1.1.0.  It's been in since 10.1 - we just didn't tell anyone how to activate it (via IM and SIL instructions) until the FAA gave us the blessing.

So, we didn't add any new code for ADS-B traffic as part of 10.1.1.0.  It's really just coincidental timing that we got FAA approval to use ADS-B traffic at about the same time.

I didn't hear that the FAA gave approval for ADS traffic.  Thats great.  I was holding off the install of the MLB 100 until that was out.  How soon do you expect to release the SL so it can be activated?

The IM and SIL is available on the website and an email has been sent to dealers notifying them of the announcement. You should be able to walk into a shop today and have it wired/enabled. An email will be sent out to all customers this morning with the same information.

I presume this only addresses ADS-B traffic IN, and the change/directions do not affect or enhance the functioning of my TAS unit, correct?

IOW, do I need to bother with this? I do not have, nor plan to get, an MLB.

Correct. If you aren't a current or future MLB customer, you don't have to concern yourself with this.

Well, if I can get traffic and weather piped out through wi-fi to tablets, from the MLB and out the 540, I may well pull the trigger.

But otherwise, already have XM and TAS, and although I fly a lot in the US, I'm based in Canada, so all tolled ADS-B IN is not much value for me.

Simpson,

I'm not having any luck finding the SIL on the web site, and I didn't get an email.  Can you post a link to the data?

Ok, cool.  I got the new Installation Manual, but I am still interested in reading the SIL when it becomes available.

Thanks, Alfred.  Tell Batman I said hi.

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.

12.Adds pressure alt on ARINC429 transmit parameter;


Does this fix the bug where the 540 could not receive pressure altitude from the 340?  We had to turn it off in my installation, as leaving it turned on broke mode C.

Will number 15 also adjust the magenta line on the HSI (on the Avidyne Entegra R.8 PFD) when the OBS is set or is it strictly going to move it on the MFD.  If not, are you going address the change on the HSI magenta line at some point.

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

We haven't sent communication out for 10.1.1 yet. Once it is ready, we will notify everyone that has signed up for our emails.

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.

Good timing on the question.    We just got TSO for 10.1.1.0 BUT......as we were performing company flight test as part of the STC side yesterday we found a nasty little behavior that was highly undesirable and needs fixing.    The issue happened while performing a Direct-To to the FAF which resulted in a discrepancy between the magenta line on the map and the deviation bar on the CDI.  The fix was created today and regression testing has begun.

The downside to this is that this change *may* result in more FAA involvement than had been planned.  They had fully delegated the STC to us which meant company flight test only and a couple day document  turn by the FAA.   We should know for sure in a day or three if that will come to pass.  Therefore, it's not clear if we'll have TSO/STC in a week or if it will be another two weeks.

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?

12.Adds pressure alt on ARINC429 transmit parameter;

Like Royski  I too must disable the RS232 link to my AXP340  transponder to get the Mode C to broadcast Pressure Altitude.
Why use the grey code when the GPS is usually better?

Because for now (and for the foreseeable future), ATC is still all about pressure altitude, not GPS altitude.  It's not about which one's "better", it's about making sure everyone's reporting altitude using a consistent reference.

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.

Any news as to when the 10.1.1.0 will be available?

Thanks,
