The volume of Angle of Attack audio alert can be adjusted independently of other audio alerts:
SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > AUDIO SETUP > AOA VOLUME: (0% TO 100%).
AOA/Pitot Probe Mounting
Dynon’s standard AOA/Pitot Probes are designed to mount under the wing. The information in
this chapter primarily applies to an under-wing installation.
Dynon does additionally make a straight boom-mount AOA/Pitot for customers that have
unique mounting requirements. It is available only in an unheated version. As the boom-mount
AOA/Pitot installations are usually custom/unique, no mounting brackets or mounting
instructions are provided by Dynon. The methods and materials needed to install the boom-
mount AOA/Pitot are left to the customer to best determine.
AOA/Pitot Probe Mount Location
The Dynon Avionics AOA/Pitot probe only functions correctly when mounted in a location
where the airflow over the probe is relatively undisturbed by the aircraft. In general, we
recommend that you mount it at least 6 inches (150 mm) below the wing and with the tip of
the probe between 2 and 12 inches (50mm to 300 mm) behind the leading edge of the wing.
Typically, pitot probes are mounted about mid-wing span wise to minimize the effects of both
the propeller and the wing tips. Testing during the probe development has shown that the
standard mounting locations for the pitot probe in the RV series of aircraft also works for the
Dynon probe.
AOA/Pitot Probe Mounting Instructions
After the mounting location has been determined, mount the pitot mounting kit per the
included instructions or fabricate your own mount. In either case, mount the probe securely to
the wing such that the body of the probe is horizontal during level flight. Drill and tap mounting
holes (#6-32) on the probe to match your mounting bracket. Use caution when drilling the
holes, ensuring that you avoid drilling into the pitot and AOA pressure lines. As long as you do
not penetrate these lines, you may drill all the way through the outer metal without affecting
the probe’s waterproofing.
