Greetings All,
First in flight report of Clarity SV and iFly 720. I'm based in central Ohio so I was not sure we would get any weather but I am pleased to report we did! Sorry no picts, but we got multiple small cell echos all in green but they were there and wwe could see some precip in the clouds. The 1090 ADS-B was showong multiple targets (all way above us but still there) The AHRS was not calibrated for wings level and I thought I was tapping the button correctly but upon returning to the ground and trying it from home realized I was only doing the data burst. We will try an in flight relevel tomorrow weather permitting.
I did get an error at home after releveling the Clarity. It lost the wifi connection after the first attempt. We went to the wifi page on the iFly and found 2 Clarity networks one active and one inactive. We disconnected the one that we could and connected the other, waited a minute and relaunched the iFly. We then releveled the Clarity 6 - 7 times in different attitudes and had no problem. Still not sure what caused this but it would be a nightmare in actual instrument conditions to have to diddle around and go through the multiple steps and relaunches to correct it.
While typing this I just got an AHRS device not connected message while level on the instrument panel page. The system was running approximately 15 minutes. I exited the iFly app and went to the wifi page. There were 2 Clarity networks listed again one with a (pre) and one without. I deleted the (pre) one and connected the other one and relaunched the navigation program. Went to the instrument page and everything is OK again. So I guess there is some type of communications error between the Clarity SV and the iFly 720. I will contact Shane on Monday to discuss.
I am still getting the weather (ADSB online, no data) promt in the select map mode menu. Not sure if this helps the diagnosis.
Even with the issues all I can say is...WOW! When the bugs are worked out this is going to allow for much safer IFR operations by far!
Hope this helps...
Paul
