Gents:

I hope one of you can help me "finger out" the link between my Chelton system and some other system (perhaps my AOA Pro) that causes an aural annunciation of "FLAPS" on the ground while taxiing, and at times in the pattern.

In the Chelton documentation, Section 2 - Caution/Warning/Advisory system, it lists pages of warnings that will cause "Tones," "Chimes," or verbiage.  The verbal warnings include: Pull Up, Terrain, Obstruction, Stall, Overspeed, Minimums, Too Low - Terrain, Too Low -- Gear, Too Low -- Flaps, Sink Rate, Glide Slope, Traffic, Fuel Low, etc.

No where on the list does it designate a "FLAPS" aural warning.

I'm guessing (need your assistance here) that the "FLAPS" warning is triggered some how from my AOA Pro, which I have carefully calibrated according to the documentation and calibration check lists.  

I can go into the system menu of the Cheltons and turn down the volume for all alerts, but I don't favor that approach.  What I really care about is getting rid of the barking "FLAPS" warning -- especially while taxiing.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

John Hafen
