Flying cheezehead is correct. Ant it is getting muddier still . Some have found that the GFC will respond to "Min speed" setting by pushing the nose down when it is turned OFF. (!) The "Correct" Garmin navigator will "inhibit" this action below 200 ft. GPS altitude. Other navigators will...

All true.. Also... Many parts were made "in house" at TT. This stopped at the when BK came in, and they were sourcing new parts suppliers when the 'Rona hit.. It has been a perfect storm. Latest heard was late last week when back orders were being shipped.. Aviall… that's another...

Jesse is correct.. a simple fix.. If you hold the knob in too long while engaging the AP, it can accidentally slip into "Gyro Set" mode. To reset you have to have the plane VERY level and stationary, push and hold for 45 + seconds, and it its done. The test is .. fly straight and level for...

Chris.. I have lots of pix of our TT install. Send me your e-mail addy to Dave@biztechind.biz We installed it ourselves (I got one of the first if not the first Vizion shipped the morning they got the STC letter from FAA) We documented the install, and test flights.. Will send it all if...

Seems to be normal... The servos use "Stepper motors" and that is a normal sound with very little movement of the controls... Cap

Ouch! What dollars for the GFC 600 Tom? Cap

OK !... The rumour appears to be confirmed through their dealer network. The next Aspen update will include the Alt and VS flags (they are not present in the data sentence now) for the TT and the HSI. The "somewhat HSI " used now did not reverse its indication on a missed back course! (oops!)...

Totally agree, I think the Aspen is a far better instrument. I have a side by side picture of them here somewhere... in show lighting.. interesting… Tell us more about the Aspen E5<>TT combination !! Many want to hear! I am planning on the Aspen here next year. I think this is the sweet...

More than DOUBLE the cost will sure sway many! Cap

You are not alone in your thinking Lynn.. Although TT cracked the Garmin coms sentence to listen to the G5, there is still speculation that Garmin will change the protocol. And there is a plethora of new equipment arriving on the market that will be able to interface with the TT autopilot. You...

Time will tell... but a lot of Mooneyites are waiting for the TT, but for Bos and higher $$$ airframes you are correct.. and if you are flying hard IFR in ANYTHING, NOW, the GFC 500 is the best choice. Seems TTs are going in a lot of Sixes, Lances and Togas also.. from feedback in the...

Hi Tim! The TT is not STCd for approaches because it has to be flight tested with each navigator in EACH airframe and they chose not to take the ( long) time to do that allowing then to bring the autopilot to market a lot sooner. Then got a "blanket " STC for all the PA -28 airframes at the...

Yes, coupled to a capable WASS navigator it can... very well, but not approved (STC) for any certed airframe yet. The TT Vizion has been flying coupled approaches for many years in experimental aircraft . I have heard, for C172 and PA - 28s, within a year, along with IAS. TT<>BK are still...

Curious... (was asked) Anybody heard anything about the Trio these days? See some reviews (on dealer sites) from a while ago where the STC group not returning calls.. And the current pricing is 3495 (AP) plus 2995 for install kit and STC.. That's about 6500 bucks now... ? Cap

Essentially, yes... A conversation with Aspen some time ago (remember TT has had a Vizion talking to an Aspen (all functions) in late 2017 on their workbench) was that anything that the Aspen DISPLAYS it would pass on. This would include vertical and lateral steering from the navigator... IF it...

Hi Lynn.. I hear it is fully intended.. to insert the Vert flags in the data sentence... There was no correction, they were simply not there,, The TT is already listening for them.. That was the central issue in the next upgrade. The HSI became .. ahem.. a sudden bonus.. :) Cap

FWIW … some Aspen <> TT/BK news... New Aspen software will include.. - ALT set and VS set (additions) to the TT interface, (Heading and Baro already there.) - Free unlock for the FULL HSI. (more to the story here if you are interested) - $$$ (to be determined) unlock for TAS, GS, OAT and winds...

Latest is baro sync, heading (whatever you set on the Aspen), alt bug and VS bug. And a promise of more in the future.. Significant diff , G5 and Aspen... The TT<> Aspen interface is a joint effort between TT and Aspen, so both companies are supporting the project. With the G5 , TT is on its...

OK... ONE NAV source... OK with that, but bears clarification, I will ask at the next opportunity.. That's very different than one INPUT.. Not withstanding, you can use an external switch to make the selection, on ANY input. You could have 4 NAV sources, through a 4 position switch, into...

Never heard of the Max upgrade being required for inputs.. From the E5 Spec section of their website.. I/O Specifications: ARINC 429 Inputs 5 Low Speed ARINC 429 Outputs 1 Low Speed RS-232 Inputs 5 RS-232 Outputs 3 Pitot / Static Quick Connect With converters (available) you can...
