    Dynon Install guide vs Wiring Diagram (for Pitot)

    With the variety of capabilities of the various inputs on the EMS, it would be a good thing to bring your inputs into the "dumbest" pin on the EMS that will serve the purpose of that wire. You will likely find later on that you need to add this widget or that, and some of them will require the...

    Dynon Avionics Shop

    Agreed. Call Bill Repucci at seven oh four six oh seven four five seven two. He's not far from you, and can either help you out directly or will know someone who can. Tell him Greg sent you. Bill is a Skyview Beta tester like me, he knows the system backwards and forwards.

    Updating Multiple USBs - Seattle Avionics

    I've had no luck with multiple simultaneous USB loads. Just keep one in the computer and load the other two while enjoying breakfast and coffee.

    Weird Weather display

    The magenta strips are areas where radar data is not available yet, still uplinking to you.

    Page loading delay

    I've noticed it here as well - running Windows 11 and Chrome

    AP flys straight through ILS Glideslop

    Yeah, a 200-knot glideslope capture might be problematic :p

    Circuit breakers

    They will - for a while - but they are prone to failure due to the internal copper braid current carrier flexing on each actuation. I've lost 2 in just over 1600 hours in my airplane. I'm not saying don't use them - I'm saying don't use them on flight-critical circuits. Anything you can't live...

    SkyView network redundancy

    The skyview network already has two data paths within each individual cable for redundancy, that covers you for a break in a wire or pin that takes out one data path (2 wires each in the 9-wire bundle), leaving the other data path valid and generating an error message on the Skyview telling you...

    SA does it again.

    A very good question - think I'll play with that...

    SA does it again.

    I've seen this before, several times. During the second set of updates, for the approach plates and diagrams, sometimes it stops updating the progress of the load on to the USB. The load is still happening - but you can't see the progress - go get a beer and sit on the porch for a bit and come...

    Fuel flow reading 0.0 and fuel remaining not decreasing

    Odds are high that this is a wiring problem on the flow sensor, rather than a physical sensor problem. The flow sensors are pretty robust - the wiring, not so much.

    Vertical guidance

    You're seeing the VFR version of VNAV that Dynon provides. This is a "glideslope" that can be coupled to the autopilot if you have one, or handflown, and provides a 2-degree descent rate to traffic pattern altitude of your destination airport. It looks identical to a glideslope presented from an...

    SA does it again.

    I've had this before - and with one exception, it was because the USB stick itself was getting so hot it failed to function. In my experience the SanDisk Ultra 32gb 3.0 drives give the best performance, I have very few problems with them. The very small form factor USB sticks are great for...

    Software updates ---Owner Op not allowed??

    Only if you purchase the airplane. If you build it yourself, you can obtain the Repairmans Certificate and sign off your own annual.

    Software updates ---Owner Op not allowed??

    I don't even have an "assist" on my annual, I do it all myself including the signoff. My dentist is pretty good, too.

    XPNDR ERROR

    Likely you don't have enough voltage at the transponder - could be undersize wires, or a bad connection on either power or ground.

    What is the better IFR navigator to interface with Dynon HDX?

    Kinda depends on your mission. If you are "IFR Lite" and don't mind cancelling a trip once in a while for true low ceilings where you are going, then sure the G175 will serve the great majority of your needs. Many RNAV approaches will not go below 400' ceilings, and you'll need a true ILS to get...

    What is the better IFR navigator to interface with Dynon HDX?

    John has good advice above - I've lost an ADAHRS unit before, in flight. It happens. Something interesting occurs as well with the Dynon if your pitot ices up - your pitch horizon goes nuts for a minute or two as the system is "anticipating" what your airplane is supposed to be doing based on...

    Why Certified?

    While accurate, that answer is not helpful for the question because it is incomplete. Certified aircraft are not allowed to use non-certified avionics, but experimental aircraft are. Exceptions apply such as IFR navigators, ELT's ,and transponders.
