before the fix
before Garmin fixes this, what can we do?
Can i set the alarm at 55 psi, and then just mute /cancel it during taxi?
So i have an oil light on a pressure switch in addition to the G3X. I could set the G3X to 50 psi, and leave the switch set to the 10 or 15 psi it is now. During ground taxi, the idiot light will be off, but G3X will display "Oil Pressure".
Once i initiate take off roll, and the RPMs come up, then Garmin will stop bitching at me and all will be well. The only trouble with this is that while the Garmin master alarm is active due to low oil pressure, any other thing that goes wrong wont be recognized by the master alarm; once I throttle up, and the master alarm doesnt stop or deactivate, that could be the only time I will know some else is wrong.
