Garmin/Avidyne OBS weirdness
I fly an SR22G2 with the Avidyne MFD. When I try to use the OBS mode on
the Garmin 430 in VLOC mode it works fine -- the left knob on the MFD controls the OBS, it draws a nice purple line, and everything is hunky dory. But when I try to use OBS in GPS mode the MFD doesn't work. I can still set an OBS heading on the Garmin directly, but that's cumbersome, and the purple heading line doesn't show up on the MFD. Is this a bug? A settings problem? Something else? Thanks, rg |

Thanks, rg I think there was an article in IFR magazine about what happens when you use the OBS button on the Garmin GNS430 and GNS530. Your flight plan comes to a screeching halt and thus no output of current DTK. I'd suggest getting together with your trainer and going over the use of the DIRECT button to select a course to the waypoint. April 2004 issue of Aviation Safety magazine has a write-up on it. |
