AHRS single tap calibration

Unless I don't know how to do this quickly, in order to calibrate the AHRS when the warning pop-up is displayed it takes 5 or 6 steps to finally get to the calibration window (menu, setup, alerts & warnings, ahrs alerts, calibrate).

Could the software be configured to go directly to the calibration when you tap the AHRS warning window? Nothing is currently programmed to that alert window.

Re: AHRS single tap calibration

Another point on this. As I recall, there is no way to cancel the AH Warning window, although it can be drug to a mostly off screen location.. While the previously mentioned ability to calibrate from the AH Warning window, it would be a nice option to be able to close the window. Perhaps disable the EFIS window for as long as the AHRS is deemed to be out of whack as well. I know I've had situations where the AHRS was, for whatever reason, not calibrated, I was VMC, didn't need the AHRS/EFIS, and the AH warning window was a distraction that I didn't need on climbout from the runway, or for the rest of the short flight..

Agree, we should add a button to close this window, inhibit, etc - like a typical alert. In the meantime, you can disable this feature Menu -> Setup -> Alerts and Warnings -> AHRS Alerts -> Pitch / Roll set to Disabled

Re: AHRS single tap calibration

I look the warning window as a reminder to calibrate. Just looking for a direct, quick route to the actual calibration. From the pop-up would be intuitive to me. Thanks.
