    Possible pitot system blockage

    The first two warnings could come from the airspeed problem. If you have two ADAHRS and they don't agree, (could be airspeed in this case) you will get the ADAHRS CROSS CHK ERR. I would look for a plumbing problem between the two ADAHRS. unless they have separate pitots. The GPS ASSIST comes on...

    Recommendations for my experimental aircraft

    Crossing the border will probably require a transponder and radio. A lot of the POE are ATC controlled. US ATC also requires you squawk a distinct code both ways. Canada not so much. Just a consideration if your planning that adventure. If you have the basic steam gauges have you considered an...

    Fuel Sender Issue

    There are special single point Princeton probes that work well with Skyview. See this discussion: http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1368214953

    Fuel Gauge calibration

    I agree with Jake. The bottom of the tank is where you want the gauge to be accurate. Personally I rarely fill my tanks. I take on enough for the mission whether it be to the next planned fuel stop/break or to the destination and back. plus reserves sometimes. ;) As far as fixing the mismatched...

    Lightspeed III Ignition Advance on Skyview

    for some reason they are sending us to an ftp server. try these: http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1268164287/32#32 http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1268164287

    Liquid Level Sensor integration?

    You can use any of the general purpose EMS pins and configure it as a contact. The contacts are usually configured the opposite way to your sensor. Contacts sense five volts unless grounded. So just connecting it to the warning sensor may not work as it will sense a high (+5V) all the time. You...

    Oil Pressure Light

    I did the same thing for manifold pressure. I needed manifold pressure for SV, my ECU and both P-Mags. I found an aluminum manifold at Princess Auto in the compressor hose section. These are made for high pressure air but would probably work for oil...

    BARO Button

    I stand corrected on this. Page 4-8 of the User Guide does mention that it's optional to move the joystick left or right to select the Bug. I checked it today. What I do is move the joystick up or down to get BARO, spin the knob to set the barometric pressure and then move back down to select my...

    GPS 250 not working - NO GPS position source

    Should be a four wire connector already attached. It's been a few years, but I believe my harness came with the connector attached as did the GPS-250. Just plugged them together.

    Dynon SV/ Garmin GTN-650/ Dynon Comm/ Dynon ADS-B

    Head/tail wind is east to figure. It's the difference between TAS and GS. What would be handy is button to turn a head wind into a tail wind. ;) ;)

    Feature Request - Runway Extension Lines

    I support extended runway lines but I think ForeFlight does a better job of it. Some discussion here: dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1426461794

    Skyview Map 270 vs Seattle Avionics

    If you stay within 200 miles of your home airport you may get away with SV-MAP-270 and a single sectional for your area. I do a lot of xcountry and found it advantageous (maybe necessary) to have VFR sectionals in addition to the SV MAP. I went with ForeFlight as they have both US and Canadian...

    Re: What the Heck is Wrong?

    Probably a corrupt file. Try downloading again. You may want to try formatting the thumb drive before downloading. The thumb drive also needs to be ejected before pulling it out of the USB socket on the computer. It can get corrupted if it's not removed properly. Right click the drive in the...

    compass calibration

    There is some discussion here. You may have to adjust your compass closer to correct before the inflight calibration will work. http://dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1441817899/9#9

    Fuel Gauge calibration

    They may have changed that or ten is all that you need to get it accurate. I have a single 130 litre tank and I have 14 calibration points. I believe I did 10 litre adds so empty plus 13 pours. You could probably do 12 five litre pours per side. Each side is a separate calibration so you do them...

    Alerts based on two factors

    This has been mentioned on the forum before: dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1363788339 +1 for some sort of scripting that would allow a combination of conditions to set off an alarm.

    Product Suggestion

    You can use one of your contacts to mark a section or point in time. I used my pump contact to mark a block of data I wanted to examine.

    Increasing EFIS Back-Up Period

    I agree with Jake (and my mechanic) that a second alternator is a better solution than a battery. Batteries are limited sources whereas an alternator can be considered unlimited. However, a second alternator doesn't solve the problem of an electrical system failure, just an alternator failure...

    BARO Button

    Hmmm. You could be right. Maybe I just got in the habit of selecting my default bug after setting the barometric pressure.

    Dynon SV/ Garmin GTN-650/ Dynon Comm/ Dynon ADS-B

    Should be considered indispensable then. ;)
