Skyview Wish List

[Marc_J._Zeitlin]

No, pitch is not the same as AOA. Pitch is a specific pitch attitude, while AoA varies based on a number of different factors. Pitch is a commonly used mode of the pt. 121 aircraft I fly, and is completely different/separate from any speed-related modes.

So, what's the outside reference for the pitch attitude? Ground? Flight Path (which would be AOA, so probably not)? And what's the aircraft reference - the "zero" incidence line of the EFIS? IOW, what are the two lines that are used to measure the pitch angle?

Certainly sounds like the information is in the EFIS to do what you're asking... - just another parameter to close the loop on. And I agree that the IAS mode is a bit "hunty" - more in climb than in descent, for some reason, at least on my plane with the HDX A/P.

It’s simply referenced to the horizon as shown by the PFD.

Came up with a couple more items for the wish list.

Virtual DME support for Avidyne and Garmin Navigators. Should be easy, but I know someone here will give a detail reason why it can’t be done. It should.

Have the airport diagram automatically pop up on the MFD during landing rollout after slowing to a defined ground speed. Other displays and apps do.

High Density Altitude warnings... not that I have personally run into any concerns with this but being able to set a color value to the DA window when on the ground/not moving and possibly a separate value when descending or tied to AGL. just like we have warning colors for high temps/rpms seems like this would be helpful.

If you are in the map view and map control is selected on any rotating knob you can press and hold to get the airport plate to pop up.

Certified CWS button
Certified wifi
Certified twin-engine engine monitoring not required on a dedicated screen (this is a big one: would completely change my panel layout capabilities. Big G can display everyth8ng on one screen. Not sure why I have to have a dedicated screen for Dynon)

Hello All,

I just flew some instrument approaches with my dual SkyView system and would love to see preferable an approach plate embedded map view or a map / plate split view. They should be to scale and also show ADSB traffic.

Thanks

Andi

already possible... check page 149 and 150 of "SkyView_HDX_Pilots_Users_Guide-Rev_K"

The UG is up to Rev. L now. Referencing a chapter and page # within that chapter would be more useful, as different PDF readers label pages differently.

And I don't think that you're correct - I don't believe there's any way to overlay the plate on top of the map (which is what I believe @AndiK was asking for, and which Foreflight can do) OR any way to have a split MAP/Plate view on one screen, since the plate is shown on the split map page, and you can't have two map pages up on the same screen.

What _I_ do with two HDXs, to get around these contraints, is to have a PFD/Plate on the left screen, and a MAP/Engine on the right screen. Not quite as good as Foreflight's overlay on the iPad, but more than good enough.

I would like to see ground speed of targets on the ADSB map. The data is there as part of the ADSB out and both Foreflight and Garmin shows the ground speed of the targets on the map. It's a nice feature when you are entering an traffic pattern with slower aircraft and you need to match speed. I know the arrow is the one minute mark but having a ground speed would really be nice.

Would love the representation of the glide slope to be bigger somehow...maybe an option to have it over the HSI or something. I just really miss the big glide slope needle of the analogue gauge. That is one of my only complaints about going glass....

Yes, glide slope indicator almost seems hidden because it is sooo. small. Needs to be bigger

 

[steve m]

Logbook function that keeps track of flights.would be nice

Yep, thread bump. I am still waiting on these seemingly simple item?

I would love the option to see both Fahrenheit and Celsius OAT displayed together instead of one or the other.

Calculate the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) for ADSB targets and show a red X on the map where a collision would likely to occur when CPA is below a set threshold (configurable in settings).

Not my idea, but I've had this feature on a sailboat navigator (in the marine world they have AIS which is similar to ADSB). This was very helpful for adjusting the course until CPA becomes a no factor. It is very easy to misjudge the threat or react too slow when the target is significantly faster than you. the CPA indication helps with that.

That sounds like the Target Trend feature that Garmin offers. I have a GDL 50 ADS-B IN receiver feeding an AERA 660 handheld GPS and I love that feature.

The Garmin algorithm takes your airplane’s ground speed and track, and the target’s ground speed and track, and does the vector math to calculate the resultant Target Trend vector. The Target Trend vector shows where the target will be in the future with respect to your airplane. If the "Target Trend” line is aimed at your airplane, the target is a possible threat depending on its altitude. It really comes in handy when there are multiple targets around. One can quickly determine which ones may be threats.

See my previous post for an example:

Displaying Speed of Targets on Map

My foreflight iPad shows the speed of targets when you tap on the airplane on the map. A friend of mine has Garmin in his RV-10. Garmin does the same thing. It's really useful when coming into a busy traffic pattern to be able to match speeds to work into the pattern. Will Dynon support this...

This seems like further refinement of what I had (15 years ago so things might have improved). coincidentally it was also a unit from G. I really want to buy an AERA now for this feature alone. I hope Dynon considers this.

Per folks attempting to reverse engineer the GDL39 protocol the Traffic Trend vector is calculated by the GDL device and then streamed along with traffic traffic positions to various garmin displays, like aera 660. It sounds like a the non-trivial algorithm to recreate. of course nothing but garmin seems to be able to read the GDL39 stream, and an aera + gdl50 price is close to $1800.. Not quite an impulse buy friendly.
