Appendix A: Ongoing Maintenance and Troubleshooting

INTRODUCTION

This section gives the installer or mechanic information pertaining to maintenance of the

FlightDEK-D180. Additionally, it provides the steps necessary to ensure continued airworthiness

for the unit.

CAUTION

With the exception of replacing the internal emergency battery, the FlightDEK-D180 contains no

user-serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to Dynon Avionics.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS

Other than for regulatory periodic checks and an annual internal battery capacity test (if optional

internal emergency battery is installed), maintenance of the FlightDEK-D180 is “on-condition”

only. With the exception of the battery, periodic maintenance of the FlightDEK-D180 is not

required.

AP SERVO INSTALLATION

At least once per year, inspect the installation of the AP servo(s) for excessive wear. Ensure that

all hardware and fasteners are tightly secured.

ALTIMETER CHECK

The following test can be performed on an as-needed basis. If the altimeter is found to be out of

specification, the following single-point adjustment can be performed by navigating the menus to

SETUP > ALTADJ. In the Altimeter Adjustment menu, you can change the displayed altitude by

up to 500 feet up or down. After making this adjustment, ensure that the altimeter on the

FlightDEK-D180 meets the tolerances allowed between 0 and 30,000 feet. If this adjustment

does not bring the altimeter on the FlightDEK-D180 to within specification at all attitudes,

please contact Dynon Avionics to return for service.

INTERNAL BATTERY CHECK

If your FlightDEK-D180 has a rechargeable internal emergency battery, it is necessary to ensure

that the battery capacity is such that it will last at least 1.5 hours on a full charge. At least once

per year, perform the following test.

With the FlightDEK-D180 drawing power from an external source, allow it to charge its

internal battery above 16.0 volts. Observe the voltmeter under the INFO selection option
