In my RV9 I have twin Dynon Skyviews and a FUNKE 833 radio. Recently it has become very noisy to the extent that it is almost unusable. The noise cuts out when there are transmissions on frequency or I transmit. I thought it was a radio problem, and as we have recently changed to 833khz channel...

Thanks for the advice David. I checked it out on the plane today. I have definitely got 12v into the controller and testing into the connectors between the controller and pitot I got no voltage and into the pitot 3 to 4 ohms which is about right I should think. So bottom line it must be the...

My heated pitot has stopped working and I would like to prove wether the fault is with the controller or the pitot. The 12v supply to the controller is good. There are three wires from the controller to the pitot blue, orange and black. Please can anyone tell me the wiring details so I can test...

Please can anyone tell me the type of output required from a potentiometer to my Skyview. I have a potentiometer with a range of .5k to 5k ohms. Can I ground one side of it and use the other side for the input. I can either use an increasing output or decreasing output, does it matter which one...

Please can someone tell me, when running dual Skyviews, should one fail and be switched off will the transponder and autopilot be unaffected.

Thank you for your response. I am afraid I misled you. It is actually a D2 that I wanted to install. If your same statement applies to the D2, that it is entirely different software then I think I have a case to take forward. I copy below the statement from the application form, it is quite...

In the UK we can now apply for certification to fly permit (home build) planes under IFR. There are quite strict requirements to achieve this. In my RV I have twin Skyviews, these are approved. However I would have to fit a back up AH. The Dynon D5 would be ideal, it would just fit the limited...

Yesterday I disconnected the faulty feed and the other one gave me good steady reading which I had not seen for a long time. Is there any good reason not to leave it at that. Jakej is suggesting that this could be indicative of a mag fault even though it is running well with no significant mag...

Thanks for the comments. The mags are about 200 hours old. The shielding is terminated at the magneto end. I could disconnect the 'faulty' one but then I wouldn't be able to do a mag check. As I have said I have increased the resistance to 160k, has anyone done this much or more. Should I just...

I have twin Skyviews with a Lycoming O320 engine. My rpm is rapidly varying such that it is very difficult to read the value. This is at higher rpm settings, 2200 and above. From new it was ok but it has been like this for the last 20 hours or so. I went to the airfield today with a range of...

Thanks for the clarification, I will check that tomorrow. Robin

I was really excited to see that I could connect from my iPad to my Skyview by WIFI. I am making a long trip in May and it would be great to do the next day's planning on my iPad and input it into Skyview. However, when I rang the UKs main supplier I was told it was not available in Europe as it...

I checked out the suggestions on the plane today. Disconnecting the standby battery, turning down the volume of Skyview and turning off the AOA had no affect to the interference. Disconnecting the Dynon audio output removed the interference all together. Switching off either of the Dynon...

Thank you for responding. To answer reply 1. I misread the installation manual when I disconnected the audio output of one of the Skyviews, but the fault was there prior to that. I do not have an audio panel, the Funke ATR833 has an integral intercom. It is a mono input to the radio that is...

Please can someone help. My RV9A is equipped with twin Skyview, integrated Transponder, autopilot and EMS. In the two years since the first flight I have had a radio interference problem. I get a 'beep beep beep' over the radio, mainly when taxying or at lower rpm. The frequency of the 'beep'...
