Default AOPA reporting free GNSx30 WAAS software upgrade available

After the upgrade I did have one problem in that the wire that connects to
my
HSI came loose and indicated a centered indication on the glideslope.
Didn't
find this out until I was on an approach and concluded that the LPV
glideslope should have been well above the aircraft yet it indicated
perfectly centered. Not sure when the wire came loose but I now pay VERY
close attention to the GPS pre-flight check where the unit at boot-up has
you
confirm 1/2 out indications for the glideslope/localizer. If the wire is
loose the GPS will not be able to force a 1/2 out indication during this
preflight check, as I learned after getting on the ground and purposely
testing this.


Holy cow Peter, that's quite scary once you think about it. Glad it didn't
happen in the low soup when it counts.

A lesson for all of us to pay attention to that system test.

Marco
