Tasker) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 05:34:18 AM PST US From: Joe Dubner Subject: Avionics-List: Garmin GMA 240 Fail-Safe Question I posted this on the AeroElectric List but the silence was deafening (except for the continuous off-topic political arguing). Can someone with actual hands-on experience with the Garmin GMA 240 Audio Panel answer this question, please? Is the volume of the "Failsafe Warning Audio" (P2402 pin 29) controllable or is it fixed? The installation manual implies it's useful for an audio input that will be audible in the pilot headset even if power is removed. It seems like an obvious choice for my Dynon Skyview EFIS warning audio but not if the audio level is not acceptable and cannot be set. In that case, one of the ALERT, AUX, or even NAV audio inputs would work better -- except in the case of power failure. Or maybe it's wired in parallel with one of the other inputs to provide an adjustable level under normal conditions and some arbitrary level after a power failure. Has anyone used this feature?

Tasker" Subject: Avionics-List: Please sign the petition to protest Obama's proposed user fees I know this isn't strictly on topic, but it is something that has the potential to adversely affect all of us in the USA. I hope you all are aware of the White House's proposal to charge $100 per flight leg to all turbine aircraft. If not, here is one place there is an explanation: http://www.generalaviationnews.com/2012/05/03/user-feesonly-3035-against/ Here is the site to sign the petition: https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/explain-detail-its-continued-push-100-segment-aviation-user-fee/jKggNYsT?utm_source=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl Do not archive!
