hi all, I have this EDM 900 that has been an amazing instrument during flight. Many times I pull all the data log records for post flight analysis, but it either requires a windows based EZtrends (provided by JPI) or one can use the online savvyanalysis webpage. The EZtrends while nice I don't...

thank you for the update carlos, yeah keep us posted, I am very interested to learn what the culprit of this all is, as the system doesn't seem to give you accurate info. Ps were the (temp) probes also reviewed? I'd almost want to take them out while connected into a cup of warm water or so of...

Nah, I am very similar, I need to have an explanation for everything, you're very detailed, as one should be as a plane owner obviously, from all the detail you shared it starts to feel you have a battery that is getting tired. Note btw that OC (open circuit) voltage is always higher then when...

That is so interesting Michael! I never had an overheat issue or BT disconnect, while it is right next to the mag compass showing rather accurately still! Maybe its a solution to get a suction cup type holder and put it behind the passenger window near the baggage compartment so it faces...

And Dan, not dimishging your expertise or anything, but probably a picture says more then 1000 words... I always talk from experience and personal knowledge, that is what I share here.

Maybe I should enhance my write up that you'd want to see the 13.9 when the engine is running and the alternator is working. I agree with you that the batt only voltage needs to be 10+ in order to start the engine, but from my experience if your battery is on the way out it shows a drop on the...

This one (jackery 500 explorer), multi purpose, small and light providing good energy. If you wanna go more, put a solar panel on it and you can litterally warm up your plane for free! I am so green, that's why I fly a plane that uses 100LL :) Joking aside, power service cost 250/yr and you...

ps the GDL30/50 have very good antenna's already, I have the same and the on device antenna gives me great adsb coverage both vertically and horizontally. To note, I have it positioned on top of the cockpit dash by the front window, its not in the way of anything and shows everything I need to...

You're likely dealing with a ****ty voltage regulator that is on its way out. I have experienced the exact same, the original voltage regulator and overvoltage protector went their own way. Mind you the voltage regulator provides the "field voltage" to the alternator to tell it what of its...

ground running doesn't give the engine enough work for it to be anything worried about. I always thought lower temps are good, but that is not the case, there is a sweet spot temperature, especially for the oil which is >180 and < 225, it makes total sense if you think about it, there are a lot...

you know Dan, while I am normally "cheap" (maybe thats what allowed me to afford a plane), with her I don't nickel and dime... For me it is a safety/longetivity issue and if something costs a little more I'd suck it up, otherwise we can't be an airplane owner and be solid. $350 is call it...

hi dan, I am in boston area too, and have an arrow ii. I went with the EZ heat Oil sump warmer. 300W. I use a jackery power carrier to provide the power for it before I want to go fly (this trick saves me a lot of dough using power from the FBO on a year subscription), I'll let it sit for 30...

hey carlos, while I don't know your specific engine per-se, basing it on general engine operations, I still believe the readings are not accurate. Your oil temperature is too low. Even if it is the real temperature, it needs to be higher (to get rid of the moisture because that will be a rust...

hi jon, ah I wrote this little novel and have a section on the EIS there also. I do see much increased performance (and airspeed) and much lower fuel flow for the same power setting compared to the POH. Mine was specific to the IO360C1C however, but I bet you you'd get improvement from it also...

Ah great thanks for that clarification!

One thing to clarify Jim is whether the noise you are referring to is truly engine noise only, or ambient noise in general or a soft whistling sound. It could be one headset of lower quality that is picking up more ambient sounds especially when the boom is in an airstream of your airco ( have...

you really want the oil between 180-200 ideally and that should be easily reachable in cruise even at modest RPM. It is important to have the oil high enough, but not too high of course to burn off and vaporate any moisture that can cause corrosion on the ground. your CHT's are also very low for...

I am at about a qt every 20-30 hours or so. Lycoming mentioned to me that it is totally reasonable to see a 1qt per 10 hours! The main thing to look for is trends; is she burning more or less. I add it to my pilot log and tach time to investigate trends up or down and correlate that to time of...

not sure if its been said already or you been give that pointer, but I found very good results with the goodyear flight special II (4ply) uneven wear can also come from inaccurate pressures on the tire(s). On the arrow I have its 30 nose and 27 mains, for whatever reason, not persistent leaks...

I have a constant prop on a lycoming 200hp engine with an electronic ignition system. edm reports 105-110%HP on WOT full power take off and 2700rpm. It is said and I experienced so the EIS is providing extra HP, as reported by the EDM. What I do is to crank down the prop to 2600/2650 at initial...
