    Some companies just care that much more.

    What shop time for Classic to HDX upgrade are people seeing?

    No, that is not necessary. My panel is fully accessible from the top and bottom. Existing Dynon components just have jamb nuts. I can attest that with the existing display, removing is a 5 minute task and reinstalling is a 10 minute job. I don’t understand why Dynon doesn’t include a “nut...

    What shop time for Classic to HDX upgrade are people seeing?

    What shop time / labor costs are people seeing to upgrade a skyview classic to the equivalent size HDX display? From everything I have read, the physical swap is trivial (with much of the annoyance being directed at the two screws that don't line up and why make the display a different size...

    New Garmin GNC 215

    These have been available for six months. Does Dynon have an answer yet on Skyview compatibility? or are they still waiting for the SL30 to somehow become un-obsolete.

    Auto pilot panel causing trim failure TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 104808-000

    Returned the trim panel to dynon, the trim-up output had failed exactly as described in the service bulletin. They quickly repaired and returned, it has been reinstalled and works fine.

    Auto pilot panel causing trim failure TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 104808-000

    The autopilot panel is the last device before the trim servo and is in direct control. If it fails open, the trim stops working. If it fails closed, the trim runs away.

    Auto pilot panel causing trim failure TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 104808-000

    I wanted to get the word out about this important autopilot panel service bulletin. I have skyview system with an autopilot control panel. Yesterday my elevator trim became flakey, possibly making un-commanded trim movements, but certainly not reliably making manually commanded movements...

    All inputs on Skyview locked up today.

    I dunno...... primary displays locking up in flight seems like a big deal to me. I have sent the diagnostic event file to dynon but no response.

    All inputs on Skyview locked up today.

    I suspect the new software version has something to do with it. unfortunately, the latest version (1.6.5) has been installed, we should have waited until dynon gets it right. Also these are dynon classics

    All inputs on Skyview locked up today.

    I have a dual skyview classic. i have put about 1000 hrs on the setup, generally without issue. Today with the non-primary display showing EMS and map, the EMS changed to a red X and all buttons and knobs on that display locked out. Could not enter setup or power off. Pulled the breaker and...

    Virtual-DME with MGL N16

    Wait…. Did you get the virtual DME on localizer to work with a SL30? or just VOR? My SL30 communicates just fine with my skyview,, identifies stations, has DME on VOR, but the virtual DME on LOC never populates.

    Skyview WiFi intermittent no communication.

    Has 16.5.2 fixed wifi problems? With 16.4 on classic, About 10% of startups, Wifi appears to be connected but cannot transfer e.g., flight plans w/foreflight. One time just waiting it out worked. Cycling ipad wifi hardly ever resolves problem, sometimes restarting dynon resolves, but usually it...

    Ads-b weather and traffic still not displayed in foreflight. Also WiFi connection problems

    No need for extenders on the WiFi. As stated, once the system connects, signal strength is good and the rest of ADS-B data is available (tops, turbulence, lightning....) the only things missing are weather and traffic.

    WiFi Problems on SkyView Classic

    This is exactly the problem I experience and the solution I have had to implement to get an initial connection. Once connected, WiFi strength is good and no problem sending or receiving flight plans. I am also able to receive most ADS-B information like cloud tops and METARs, but no traffic...
