New Video: Map LAYERS Feature

This new video is the first in a short series to cover many of the features available on the moving map and VFR GPS navigator.  

The LAYERS feature allows the computer-generated moving map to be overlaid with several additional types of information:  Weather (requires the SV-ADSB-470 receiver) and Sectional, High- and Low-Altitude Enroute charts (require Chart Data subscription).


Did You Know? Dynon Autopilot: HDG vs TRK

Dynon’s Autopilot systems present two options for following a direction.  Those two modes are HDG and TRK.  Some pilots may be confused about the difference between these two autopilot control modes.
When HDG* or TRK modes are selected, the autopilot will follow the bug value selected by the pilot. This value is is indicated both by a digital value on the primary flight display and by the light blue bug icon located on the directional gyro.  However, the actual flight path of the aircraft will vary depending on which mode is selected.
