Posted: Thu May 25, 2006 8:37 am Post subject: Interface Apollo SL-15 with EFIS and AOA audio

Is there any reason not to connect the EFIS audio output to the DME 

input to the audio panel,  and connect the AOA audio output to the ADF 

input of the SL-15.



It seems like a good way to get the signals into the audio chain while 

being able to turn them on or off as needed. 

Is this a good idea?

Duane,

  Why would you want to deactivate the audio on a

stall warning device?  If you are concerned with

spurious warnings becoming a distraction, which I

think would only happen very, very, infrequently, why

not have a guarded AOA deactivate switch? I think

stall warning or any warning system is a poor place

for a regular on/off audio switch. It's just too easy

to accidentally have the switch in the wrong place and

these warnings can save your bacon in a tight spot.  

Safe flying,

Bob

Having spent a significant amount of time flying behind an AoA based

stall warning system, I found that it could drive you nuts when you are

flying aerobatics and always looking for that last little bit of lift

before the stall. You do want a way to turn off the audio from the stall

warning system (if possible).



And you might consider your aircraft's stall behavior when trying to

decide just how important stall warning is. Frankly, most of the

aircraft we fly offer plenty of warning before stalling and then have a

benign stall behavior.



But your point is well taken that you probably don't want the stall

warning turned off by accident.

There is no reason that it won't work. I know it works with the Garmin 340  

Audio panel. The only thing you have to beware of is the need to  

re-placard the switches to not their new functions on the audio panel.



Cheers,

Which leads to the question - anybody know a good way of replacing /

sourcing GMA340 buttons with different text on them, eg. EFIS, AoA.
