General Discussion / Sold aircraft (with PAW). Do I need to notify Pilot Aware?

« on: October 15, 2023, 08:51:03 am »

Morning,

Sold my aircraft about 5 months ago, including a PAW Rosetta. Just had a text from the buyer asking me to message PAW and let them know.

Do I need to notify Pilot Aware? Feels like the new owner can just log onto the PAW and do the licence stuff etc. Other than license reminders, can’t think that Pilot Aware even have a requirement to know who the owner is?

Thanks.

Hi,

Really like the look of iGRID, looks like a very logical enhancement to an already great system.

My setup is a Rosetta connected to a 4G enabled iPad Mini, displaying on SkyDemon.

My iPad has mobile connectivity, SkyDemon uses it for on the fly weather etc. Given that the PAW is already connected to a mobile connected device, do I need a second dongle and connection to my mobile?

Thanks.

Hi,

Update on this. Am still using the original PAW unit, have moved it from the tail of the aircraft to under the passenger seat. Tidied the wiring both to and from the USB charger.

Haven't had the GPS or white noise issue yet. (Admitedly I've only flown for 40 minutes in the new configuration).

Fingers crossed.

Hi,

Yes, the white noise happened again. I pulled the power cable out and once PAW came back, didn't bother reconnecting to the iPad, just used the iPad GPS.

A swap would be great, thanks. I'll go up to the plane at the weekend and grab it. Would you want all the antennas and bits, or just the PAW unit?

Ok, where do I go from here?

Happened again tonight.

I also had some new behaviour, it would drop the data connection until rebooted. Both iPad and iPhone couldn't connect to it. Happened twice.

Gave up connecting it to my iPad after that and just used the audio alerts.

My PAW is not being the most reliable piece of kit.

Hi Lee,

Any update on Stu's unit? Have you managed to reproduce the issue?

Hi.

I'm not sure what the next step is for me to resolve the issue on my PAW?

Thanks.

Great news, glad you've got your issue fixed.

I don't think distance between PAW and the radio is causing the loud white noise - mine are about 6ft apart.

Physically connected to my ATR833, yes.

No strobes on my little plane.

Sorry Stu, misread that bit.

So there's two of us with a similar issue. I wonder if my issue means you can discount your PAW to transponder wiring?

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the reply. Power is from a Charge2 (http://www.charge4.co.uk) 2 port USB charger. I have an aukey ground loop isolator between the PilotAware and radio which has solved an issue I had with some background static, but not fixed (or caused) this loud white noise.

It's a PilotaAware classic.

I have a Funke TRT800 transponder, but it's not connected to the PilotAware.

Have just read the link to the other thread, interestingly, like the other poster it's on the SafetyCom frequency where I've had the issue, although I didn't think to try another frequency before pulling the power to the PilotAware. Will do that next time.

Hi,

Firstly thanks for developing such a brilliant system I love flying with it, it's added a whole new level of situational awareness.

I've got a PilotAware Classic running the November firmware plugged into the aux input of my Funke ATR833 radio for audio alerts, every now again (say once every two hours of flying) I'll get INSANELY loud white noise through my headsets, loud enough that it drowns out all other noise and makes it physically uncomfortable to keep the headsets on. Pulling the power lead out of the PilotAware immediately gets rid of the noise, but also means I lose GPS for navigating.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
