Why does my Aspen Avionics Display have ALTIMETER, AIRSPEED, VSI FAIL (RED-X)?
- E
  Erica WardAug 21, 2025
  If your Aspen Avionics Display shows 'ALTIMETER, AIRSPEED, VSI FAIL (RED-X),' the possible causes include: * **Insufficient warm-up time:** If the air data sensor hasn't warmed up enough, especially in cold temperatures (below -20ºC), allow up to 20 minutes for the flags to clear. * **Reversed pitot/static lines:** Ensure the pitot line is connected to the “P” port and the static line to the “S” port on the EFD. * **Failed air data sensor:** The EFD may need repair or replacement.

What causes ATTITUDE FAIL or DIRECTION FAIL (RED-X) on Aspen Avionics Display?
- A
  Amanda JohnsonAug 26, 2025
  If you're seeing an 'ATTITUDE FAIL' or 'DIRECTION FAIL (RED-X)' message on your Aspen Avionics Display, it could be due to: * **AHRS sensor initialization:** Allow up to 3 minutes for the AHRS to initialize. * **RSM failure/data missing:** Check the wiring from the RSM to the EFD. The RSM may need repair or replacement. * **Pitot/static line issues:** Make sure the pitot and static lines are correctly connected, not blocked, or unplugged. * **Defective EFD:** The EFD may need repair or replacement.

How to fix sluggish or poor AHRS performance on Aspen Avionics?
- L
  Laura PittsAug 28, 2025
  Sluggish or poor AHRS performance on your Aspen Avionics Display can be caused by several factors: * **RSM magnetic interference:** Survey the RSM location using a handheld compass. Ensure there are no cabin speakers within 3 feet of the RSM. Degauss any magnetized areas. * **Magnetized RSM:** Remove power from the EFD system and degauss the RSM and the surrounding area. * **Improper calibration:** If a “Pitch Attitude Trim” or “Panel Tilt Pitch Compensation” adjustment was made without a subsequent RSM Calibration, perform an RSM Calibration. * **Blocked pitot/static lines:** Check the pitot/static connections and plumbing for blockages. * **Normal after abrupt maneuvers:** Perform an AHRS Reset.

Why is GPS1 selection not available on Aspen Avionics Display?
- D
  David MooreAug 30, 2025
  If the GPS1 selection is not available on your Aspen Avionics Display, consider these potential causes: * **GPS receiver status:** Ensure the GPS receiver is turned on and initialized. * **Valid GPS data:** The GPS needs a valid “TO” waypoint and position. Allow the GPS to acquire a position and enter a flight plan or Direct To. * **GNS CDI selection:** Verify the GNS CDI is selected to GPS. * **Wiring issues:** Check the A429 wiring between the GPS and the EFD for shorts, opens, or crossed A and B lines. * **GPS malfunction:** The GPS may need repair or replacement. * **EFD malfunction:** The EFD may need repair or replacement.

What does ATTITUDE DEGRADED message mean on Aspen Avionics?
- K
  Kimberly DuranSep 1, 2025
  The 'ATTITUDE DEGRADED' message on your Aspen Avionics Display can mean: * **Pitot blockage:** If in flight, this is normal if there's a pitot blockage due to ice or other obstructions. Use pitot heat or check the pitot system for blockages. * **Marginal GPS reception:** On the ground, this is normal if GPS reception is marginal and the GPS ground speed intermittently ramps above 50 knots. No action is needed unless the message is due to a faulty GPS system, in which case, repair the GPS system.
