You can select the source of the nav data to display on the Skyview - but if it originates from Skyview itself it's not IFR-legal. It works great for VFR nav though and the flight planning functions are excellent. Change sources to a certified IFR receiver and you've got the best of both worlds.

Nearly everything in the panel these days has a low-voltage alert - and Dynon has the ability to make it an aural alert in the headset at well, for both low-voltage and high-amperage discharge from the battery.

There is a known bug with some USB device drivers - rumor has it that software version 16.0 will fix this bug - and rumor also has it that 16.0 will be released sometime in the next few weeks.

The USB drive can be used for multiple things, certainly. I currently use mine for the Dynon update, the Seattle Avionics chart data, and my Avidyne IFD440 update - plus keeping screenshots and flightplans - all on the same drive. As long as you have enough space, the Seattle Avionics data plays...

True enough - but you're also asking Dynon to develop a function for a small percentage of the market. They have to decide if the business case makes sense to dedicate the engineering and software labor hours to that function instead of something else that may have more value to the company...

The SkyViewUS folder has only one purpose - it exists only to tell the ChartData Manager to create the Chartdata folder and download all the data into it. No data exists in the SkyViewUS folder, it is an identification tag only for the USB drive that tells the download program to go do its...

Not disputing your assertion of illegality - but I would ask the question if ANY pilot EVER has been prosecuted for that silliness.

Seems to me that you are using at least as much time that way as manually entering the frequency - and if it's a "favorite" frequency then memory of the frequency number is not the issue.

The first time I had mine checked, during Phase I, they asked for it and I didn't have it. Went dumpster diving behind the baggage compartment to pull the transponder to read the serial, and the tech had a sharpie in his hand already - wrote it on top where it can be seen without having to do...

I would certainly not advocate ignoring the manufacturers recommendations - but we all (or most of us anyway) also recognize that there is a large amount of CYA involved in those recommendations that is not compatible with experimental aviation.

Not necessarily. I have the Dynon GPS2020, Garmin 430W, and G5 antennas all nustled up snugly together under my cowling. No issues at all, 5 years and 720+ hours now. To your point though - SOME antennas do not play nicely with others - but a blanket statement is not a true one. Testing your...

As mentioned above, ADSB-OUT is what the FAA cares about, and that is sent through your transponder. The transponder can get the ADSB information from the 430W or from the Dynon Skyview system, but if you are using the Skyview then you'll have to upgrade to the GPS-2020 receiver, since the 250...

I hung it on my main bus coming in just after the master switch.

They are both sources for navigation - but Skyview is VFR only. If you want to fly IFR then your other source needs to be a certified IFR navigator.

You can zoom in on the plates on the Skyview, same as you zoom in on the map view.

Skyview is not a certified navigator so it's not legal - but in an emergency you might be able to get down using the approach plates (from Seattle Avionics) which show you georeferenced over the course for localizer information, and fly the non-precision step-down altitudes. I don't think I'll...

Dual ADAHRS might be considered optional if you have a completely standalone source of artificial horizon, like a G5 or similar, but the principle is the same - have a backup.

Yes - I use a 430W in my plane, but the procedure is the same. On your 530 you will load the airport and approach, and make sure that you are viewing the nav data on your HSI from the 530 and not the Skyview, so your CDI will come active from the 530 data. You can have multiple Sources for the...

Anytime the Skyview is turned on, and the buss voltage is above 12.25 volts, the Skyview will internally charge the backup battery.

Nobody outside of Dynon knows what Dynon has back in the R&D lab, if anything. For today and the foreseeable future the answer is no, and you'll need to install a certified navigator connected to the Dynon ARINC-429.
