Avionics Technician Things to Do after swap

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I swapped the Garmin 430W for the Aspen IFD440. I wish I had done this before. I've found some anomalies that need attention so I'm going to have my avionics tech look things over, here's my list so far.
Is there anything else that I am forgetting or missing out on, other connectivities?

1. Heading Bug from Aspen EFD1000 not appearing on the IFD440. Another thread respondent said there's a workaround for that.
2. Evidently the EDM700 fuel flow output to the IFD440 is missing in my installation. It's possible if you had a 430W swap that this connection was not put in by your shop as well.
3. The 430W had no audio alerts so need to hook the IFD440 alert output to the audio panel.
4. Cool feature to be able to hear the IFD440 standby frequency on the audio panel, this can be attached to a spare audio on the panel.
5. TIS traffic from a transponder can be connected to the IFD440.

Any other things to check on or cool features to get installed correctly?
