|
|
On a recent flight from KROC to KUUU (Newport RI), a great place to
visit by the way, another guy from our club and I tried to use the wind
computation function on our recently upgraded 530W. We could enter the
data easily enough, but it didn't do the calculation. It just shows 0
kts at 000 degrees.
Has anyone else with the upgrade noticed this?

Yep! The winds aloft calculation function is inop on my 530W as
well. I had a demo from a Garmin rep prior to the upgrade where he
demonstrated the 530W interface with an ADC to provide winds in real-
time, but I am coming to the conclusion that Garmin forgot to leave
the function available if you DON'T have an ADC onboard... |

Same here on my 530w.
Garmin says it will be fixed in the next software revision.
