I have a new GTX 345. I entered the setup information for the unit orientation (FORWARD, LEFT), leveled the aircraft, successfully calibrated. I took the GTX 345 AHRS for a ride and in general it worked quite well. In foreflight I had to do a ZERO Bank & Angle calibration and that helped a lot.
btw, does foreflight save the AHRS calibration data or do I have to do this Zero Bank & Angle procedure every flight??
The main issue is, when accelerating for takeoff, the AHRS shows a roll to the right about 20 degrees. In general on climbout the AHRS indicates a slight right roll. Once I level off and accelerations stabilize, the AHRS displays straight and level. I looked closely at the unit and possibly there is a degree or two or yaw in the face of the unit where perhaps the installer tried to have the display face me a little better??? The transponder is right of the main avionics stack. So, I entered 2 degrees of yaw in the unit setup and retested, the roll was still there on the next takeoff but not quite as much. If I change the yaw amount to say 4, should I re-calibrate on the ground??
Does the AHRS roll on acceleration sound like a GTX345 yaw issue to you?? Any recommendations.
Thanks
