HELP - suggestions needed on a EFIS issue...this is a new one for me.

My synthetic vision (AHRS) showing perpetual right bank; reality is straight and level - how do I fix?  

If the only option is "re-load the software with an update" I think I can do that, but that still does not solve WHY this is happening - any ideas? Anything I might be doing?

BTW, I did try re-setting it through the "reset" function on STRATUX to get it straight and level, but it keeps drifting back to a bank indication...stumped on this one!

Any suggestions appreciated -- been using this for years -- this is a new one!

In the second photo (sorry I could not get it aligned right for you) you can see my ADI is straight and level, but the EFIS is drifting in a left bank - WHY?

Sorry I could not get the photo to rotate right on the site....

I'm having the same issue. Calibrating iFly or stratux it starts to drift in a bank, constantly recalibrating.

That seems to be a common problem that started a few months ago. I don't know where the problem lies or what the fix is, if any.

Happened AGAIN today...what the heck? You can SEE my ADI is level, but my EFIS synthetic vision is askew....hmmm?

Dunno what's up with that, but can't use it while it is tilted like that - sends wrong images to the brain!  

Just have to turn it off, but I do like it, so missing using it...

Thanks for getting back to us, Tim...we will just have to wait and see what others, and the EXPERTS say about this....was working FINE, and then one day - BAM - went into "out of kilter" mode!  Hmphf!  See photos of what I'm squawkin' about...

Oh, BTW, just to let yunz know, I DID do the recalibration in STRATUX (as suggested) before the flight.  Lasted maybe a minute...then the DRIFT into "Out of Kilter" mode....
