I need a little help from the RV community.
I got a big scare the other day when the UPS guy came to my door with a certified letter from the FAA. After I signed for the letter, the normal 30 feet to the kitchen for a knife to open it seemed more like 100 yards. I had a big sigh of relief when I read of no personal violation, but the Doll was (NIC) Not In Compliance with its ADS-B out broadcast.
It took lots of reading to understand the rather technical information! After plenty of testing and checking the components and wiring harness, the only thing I can come up with is my GTX330es maybe intermittently transmitting my pressure altitude. The display keep blinking out and then re-displaying pressure altitude. Garmin has a flat fee of $700 dollars to repair the GTX330, so I'd like to confirm it is sick first.
Does anyone in the DFW area have a GTX330es I can slide in and power up to see if the pressure altitude is steady in the display. I will gladly fly to you. The test will take only a few minutes. I'm good for lunch.
Thank you in advance.
