    v15 bug(?) - HSI no longer circular

    My eye caught this immediately. It reminded me of the TruTrak EFIS, which I always thought looked horrible, and wondered why anyone would have purchased those screens. This is a very disturbing change. Humans detect patterns, centering, and lack of symmetry, some more than others. The ovel is...

    VOR radial help please

    I flew an approach today, with the GTN650 set for vectors to final of an ILS procedure. I flew manually towards the inbound course, below the glide slope. I had the GTN selected as the source for the HSI, and the source for the flight plan on the map. I saw the HSI switch automatically to the...

    VOR radial help please

    Using a Garmin GTN650 to tune a VOR, and Dynon Skyview, I need guidance on the best way to prepare to intercept a radial, and then fly outbound. At SMO I hear IFR clearances say "fly runway heading, at the LAX 315 radial turn right". I am preparing to take IFR training and have been practicing...

    FAA ADSB Compliance Report is Perfect!

    On my RV-9A I added the ADSB receiver antenna to the center of the bottom of the fuselage just aft of the baggage compartment. The transponder antenna is on the bottom right side under the passenger seat area. Both antennas are the shark fin style. I have had both in and out ADSB for 2.5 years...

    FAA ADSB Compliance Report is Perfect!

    I just received the requested report back from the FAA on my 1 hour cross country flight last weekend. I am using the Dynon transponder with a GTN-650 position source. I am 100% compliant! It was darn near perfect with great signal levels and complete integrity of the data. Thank you Dynon for...

    Seattle ChartData Device Exp.Date now says Unknown

    I have 4 USB memory devices for the ChartData. I keep 2 in the airplane and have 2 to update/swap. During this latest round of updates, all 4 after the update, show the VFR Sectional Charts and the IFR Low Altitude Charts with an expiration date of Unknown on the device side, but with a valid...

    Screen Layout Req: PFD full on top EMS on bottom

    I have dual Dynon screens. One screen layout I would find useful would be the PFD screen across the entire width, with a small band along the bottom for the EMS screen at say 20%. I must admit I like the AFS screen capability to have the EMS superimposed across the bottom of the PFD screen. I...

    Touch screen

    They shipped my new unit today. I sent my old one in for the trade in last week. So it is happening, but only if you pay the higher amount for a new unit. Right now I am doing one of my two screens.

    Complaint to Foreflight about PRO version required

    I just sent an email to Foreflight: I wanted to voice my complaint that it should not be necessary to force Dynon customers to purchase the PRO version simply to connect to upload a flight plan to the Dynon EFIS. I now have two complaints regarding the pricing of your software. Complaint 1 is...

    Remote tuning software update coming for GTN-650

    Yes, I have written them before, and called, expressing my desire to have the remote tuning, especially since some of their radios can support it. After what you have said, I am not holding much hope.

    Remote tuning software update coming for GTN-650

    I just saw this when reading about the software updates to the Garmin G3X. I have been wanting to control my GTN-650 from the SkyView, and was initially surprised this was not supported. It appears it will be possible in the future: Please note a GTN, GTR 225 or GNC 255 software update will...

    MGL V6 radio comparison and compatability???

    I am trying to add a second radio in a RV-9A. I have a GTN-650 as my primary. Due to upgrades, I now have an empty 2.25" hole in my panel, although I am still considering the Dynon radio, but its installation would be a challenge. A round 2.25" Dynon radio remote would really have been nice. I...

    ChartData on USB memory sticks

    I have been able to use the command "xcopy" to copy the contents from one USB stick to another, but it probably takes longer than just inserting them one at a time, and letting it progress through it. It seems it would be an easy modification of the software to check for two memory sticks, and...

    SkyView Carb Temp Sensor failed.

    I am working on the engine for routine maintenance. I have had the carb sensor connected and working for about 1 year. After the oil change, an engine test revealed that the carb sensor was not working. Wiring was good up to the sensor. I had encased the wires in heat shrink to protect and...

    Can I use Contact inputs? Manual says 2,3,4 = NO

    I have the oil level sensor connected now to the GP contact input pin 10 on the EMS. I have it configured and it displays on all three screen sizes, lights the external warning LED, and also generates a voice message.  One thing I would like is the ability to use more than six characters to...

    Can I use Contact inputs? Manual says 2,3,4 = NO

    OK, I have seen the light, and the manual pages referring to the general purpose inputs. I will wire and configure the software on one of those inputs. I am hoping it will be easy to get a widget that will correspond to this contact closure. Thank you.
