For any developer to have not considered 'what happens when it gets to maximum value', particularly when this rollover has happened once before in GNSS history, is pretty unforgivable, particularly for a certified bit if kit such as from Avidyne. It does stink of a lack of rigour and competence, as stated by Steve.

It does call into question the professionalism of their test team. For a developer to overlook something is one thing; for a test team to not create the appropriate set of test conditions for such an obvious known requirement is disgraceful.

I'll be OK.
All my kit is certified.
I have a file full of expensive paper to prove it

When will that happen? As Manuel would say 'hhhhhheventually!' Best get as much flying in as soon as you can.

The forum seems to have stopped logging me out at random intervals. Perhaps they like me after all? (Thanks for fixing it) Our pleasure!

Tom Tom My Drive called me up on my computer and asked me to check my TomTom 5200.
It was unaffected.

Some computer systems built in the early 1960s had a single digit year field - they didn't expect the systems to still be in use 10 years later. That wasn't lack of competence - it was a significant saving in precious storage space.

Agreed, but the Avidyne systems in question were designed in the last few years to modern certifiable standards. Particularly bearing in mind that one rollover has already occurred, this lack of rigour in the design and verification processes for events that are guaranteed to happen does indeed stink of incompetence.
