Have they called Cessna about this? |

I'll ask them tomorrow. -- Dan T-182T at BFM |

KAP 140 trouble, update
The tech called me this afternoon and said the problem is indeed in the KAP
140 computer. How this jibes with the story I got last week that the unit had been swapped, I don't know. The new part will be in Tuesday. I'll report then if that truly fixes things. -- Dan T-182T at BFM |

Hmmm.... it is far from unknown for things that have been swapped to not actually having been swapped. I've had this several times. Yep. Back in prehistoric times when I was a tech, I did it myself. Only after I drove 90 miles back to town did I notice the new date code on the controller I was bringing back. Could've happened this time. -- Dan T-182T at BFM |

KAP 140 trouble, update #2
It was the KAP 140 computer. Test flew it this morning and it checked out ok. Seems like the shop could have found this out a lot sooner, seeing as how they're a Honeywell B/K dealer & authorized warranty shop. -- Dan T-182T at BFM |

Beyond that, two different people identified it as the computer based on your original recitation of the problem site unseen. I'd find a new avionics shop. |
