    GPS175 Power Pins

    I asked Garmin customer service that exact question, because I was trying to find out if there was an internal diode or something allowing power from multiple sources. I think the answer was current carrying ability, not of the wires or connector but of whatever is inside the box (circuit board...

    An update on Dynon Certified projects

    In 2013 the FAA's own Part 23 rewrite committee suggested the "Primary Non-Commercial" category that would allow aircraft over 20 years old to transition to that category, and cited Canada's program as an example of "see, it can work". They included a path back to standard TC configuration...

    My Highly Desired Features - Wish List for Dynon

    There are two questions, as you point out. "Can we do this?" (do we have the money and capability) and "Should we do this?" (is this the best use of our money?) which involves not only market research, but also consideration of alternative uses for that money that would bring better returns. I...

    An update on Dynon Certified projects

    Years ago I was on the ASTM committee (as a private individual) that was working on the new means of compliance standards to go along with the new Part 23. On that committee (and officially in an advisory-only, non-voting position, but we all know who held the reins) were regulators from EASA...

    remote NAV radio for SkyView HDX

    Actually, I don't think you do. Looking at the Skyview install manual rev AI, page 4-27, it looks like an SL30 only requires one serial connection. For the MGL setup, you'd tie that serial to the Razor head (which emulates the SL30) and it then handles the connections to the individual N16...

    remote NAV radio for SkyView HDX

    It's my understanding that you can pair an N16 with a V16 and the Razor head (which talks to both) and it should theoretically work like a Nav/Com (like an SL-30 IIRC).

    Screens out of stock

    If it helps, I ordered my system (dual 10" HDX) through a dealer on July 8 and was told there would be a couple weeks' delay on the displays. After taking the scenic route around the Southeast (thanks UPS :rolleyes:) everything arrived August 11. If you're a fast enough builder that a couple...

    GPS/ILS approach video?

    Anyone have (or happen to know of) a good video showing a Skyview through an entire GPS or ILS approach? I'm hoping to see a good, stable view of the screen throughout.

    GPS 250 vs 2020 if IFR GPS installed

    At this point in my build I’m pretty confident that I’ll be able to install an IFR GPS (GPS-175) from day one. Since that unit can apparently provide the GPS signal for ADS-B Out, is there any benefit to using a GPS-2020 to provide that signal instead? Similarly, if the IFR GPS is used as...

    Skyview Wish List

    Programmable altitudes on flight plan Glide ring that accounts for terrain (like the AFS glide ring does) More/better support for remote equipment (radios, audio panels) A budget audio panel in the current intercom form factor (basically, add Bluetooth phone/music support and better dual Com...

    USB port usage?

    Just making sure I’m not missing something... displays come with 3 USB ports (one in the harness, two on the back of the display). Displays will only support one memory stick at a time (which holds charts, checklists, and software updates), right? So that’s one port. Each screen has a wifi...

    Is there going to be a new software release or are us experimental owners now abandoned?

    It's amazing how spoiled we can get sometimes :cool: Seriously, my first "real" job (an internship in 2004) was doing testing in the engineering sim for what was basically the most advanced civilian cockpit in the world, at the time. Flat panel displays, a color moving map with (basically)...

    What’s Coming In The Next Software Update?

    Agreed, except I'm looking at it from a new build perspective. I have some time behind my dad's Skyview classic and much prefer it to the HDX interface; I'd really rather use a Classic but it seems like new features are mostly going to be HDX only. at least I can do all the rest of the...

    Auto Pilot - Simplified or Advanced?

    My dad has the expert mode enabled and has no button panel. It's a bit cumbersome to use (admittedly I haven't had much time using it in that mode at all), but I think what he likes best is the airspeed hold climb/descent mode, and being able to only engage pitch or roll individually.

    Two Transponder installation Possibility

    Ditch it. Serves no purpose with a 1090 Out system. And you don't need a backup transponder; save the weight and power for more gas and more critical systems.
