Dynon Avionics EFIS-D10A Pilots Users Guide - Manual (Page 62)

Autopilot Operation
normal business hours, the Forum is a convenient way to interact with Dynon Avionics Technical Support. The Forum
also allows online sharing of wiring diagrams, photos, and other types of electronic files.
All Dynon instruments connected via DSAB must be running the same firmware version. This applies to the servos and
AP74 as well, which are updated via the Bus Master EFIS. See the Autopilot Installation and Configuration section in
your EFIS-D10A Installation Guide for more information.
As with any autopilot, Dynon’s AP is no substitute for the pilot remaining in full control of the aircraft. The AP
is a supplement in the operation of the aircraft. While the AP is engaged, you should not engage in activities
(such as sleeping, reading, etc.) that detract from your overall situational awareness.
The Dynon Avionics AP requires an accurate magnetic heading to operate efficiently and comfortably in HDG
and NAV/VOR modes. Therefore it is critical that the aircraft’s compass be installed correctly, calibrated, and
operating well in all attitudes. If you are currently only using the internal magnetic compass, we strongly
recommend the installation and use of the EDC-D10A remote-mounted digital magnetic compass, and properly
calibrating it per the instructions found in the latest EFIS-D10A Installation Guide.
EFIS AP Indicators
When 1 or more servos are installed and configured, the EFIS-D10A‘s EFIS presentation includes some new indicators,
described below. If these indicators do not appear on the EFIS page, the AP installation procedure must be performed per
the AP Installation and Configuration chapter of the EFIS-D10A Installation Guide.
