I have had a chance to use / test my unit on 4 flights (2 round trips, same waypoints). On the first trip, the altitude was off by aprx, 30ft (low) when on the ground and steadily increased to about 375ft (low) when G1000 and steam gauge indicated 6500ft. I spoke with Scott and he suggested I do a full reset to clear the satellite cache which he helped me do.
On the 2nd trip it was near perfect on the ground but off by almost 500ft (low) when compared to the G1000 / steam gauge indicated 6500ft. The altitude on a G1000 / steam are adjusted for pressure so perhaps that is the difference. But if that is the case, how are you using the altitude given by the iFly? I understand that the altitude (on the iFly) is calculated from GPS and is not adjusted for pressure but that still does not help me understand why I would even use this information if it is not remotely accurately when complared to other means of obtaining altitude. I would think that if this were a normal descrepency there would be a way to adjust the altitude on the iFly so it would be usable.
Walter and Scott have been very helpfull. They had the unit picked up and they tested it on their end but they report no problems. I cant imagine that I am the only one that has seen this before but I have been unable to find any posts of this issue. I'm a newbee pilot (and I LOVE the iFly!) so any info is appreciated. Thanks.
