We have published new files for RV-12iS aircraft related to fuel pressure values and other configuration settings. There are updated files available (listed below) and README documents for G3X and Skyview systems.
In addition, these settings have been tested with Skyview v16 software. The Skyview software and settings package on the Van's Aircraft download page has been updated to include the v16 software. SV software v16 has been tested on both the RV-12iS and original RV-12.
The description of these changes is below.
REASON FOR REVISION:
The Rotax 912iS currently has a "caution" range for fuel pressure. This range is not needed as the Rotax EMS only specifies a green range with upper and lower redlines. The POH and related EMS settings have been updated to remove the caution range. Additionally, Rotax specifies a specific minimum fuel pressure prior to start-up using a single fuel pump. It has been confirmed that this startup pressure check is not necessary. Additionally, the reading is dependent upon battery voltage which complicates the check. As such, this check has been removed from the Engine Start Checklist. Additionally, SkyView Software version 16.0.2 is included in this change.
