As I posted a few months ago, my LNAV was having problems (crazy g-
meter and averager readings) and Cambridge could find nothing wrong with it, plus after their first try they stopped servicing LNAV's. I then purchased a used LNAV from someone who contacted me from my post and for a while that worked fine, but on a recent flight it too was acting crazy, but in a different way. It read 1200 feet high when the altimeter was properly set, the altitude required was independent of the distance to the goal (and of course therefore wrong), and the McCready setting jumped from 0 to 3.7 to 7.4 to 9.5 and then (when decreased) jumped down in 3.7 increments to 5.8, 2.1 and 0. (It seems to saturate at 9.5 and 0.) It also was telling me to push the whole flight even though the vario was reading correctly. On my next flight, this erratic behavior was not present. All of this leads to two questions: 1. While I could have two LNAV failures in close proximity in time, a more likely hypothesis is that there is a wiring fault or electrical noise or something else causing both units to either fail or seem to fail. Does anyone have any experience here? 2. When I posted about my original LNAV's problems in March, Paul Remde indicated that Cambridge was in the process of solving it's problems and I might be able to get LNAV service there again. Any news on that? Thanks very much. Martin |
