Well, that Sucks…
I have been getting an error on my PFD that reads: “pfd config module missing”. I performed a software update that I hoped would clear it, but it did not. Time to call Tim the Technician, at Stein Air. Found out that apparently Garmin has had a rash of these & has kept it somewhat quiet. Tim is offering to send a replacement IC chip, but that means I'll have to disassemble the PFD & insert the new chip. That is something I am not comfortable doing & I believe that would also void my warranty. Option 2 is to remove the PFD & ship it to Stein Air for repair. I prefer this route.
So, tomorrow I will reach out to Tim & see if we can get things rolling towards a fix. From what I can tell, the MFD is functioning properly.
Pulled the bird out of the hangar this morning a configured the AHRS. It's not perfect, but good enough until she's approved for flight testing. I had wanted to also align the magnetometer, but it became too windy by 10:00am to fool with the process.
Prior, I stuffed fire sleeve into & around the wires that protrude through the firewall. What a pain in the butt. For the next assembly I'll be stuffing the fire sleeve first, then feeding the wiring through it. Hopefully, that will be less of a headache.
