My short review of Skyview Installation and Operating Manual s doesn't show that Skyview has a way to deal with transition altitudes. It is as if in North America when we reached FL180 (18,000') the altimeter automatically reset to 29.92, standard barometric pressure. instead of nearest baro...

They shoot horses, don't they? :)

BTW, It was pointed out to me that we have a possible internal inconsistency in the FAA. Don't ask me, I'm as confused as anyone. I suppose one could argue that the FARs have one definition and everything else has a different definition. Jim Title 14: Aeronautics and Space PART...

The following comments are directed only at use of language. They do not represent my view or any view on how antennas are installed as discussed in this thread. From FAA Order 1000.36, which is official: Chapter 2, 1 "h. Avoid using “shall.” Shall is an ambiguous word. It can mean must...

Why don't you call Arian Foldan at Flight Design USA and ask him? He's sharp. He's on EST. But like I said on the other forum, there is a cable plugged into the back of other SkyView display - trace the wire. Are you sure you even have a backup battery on that display? See where the backup...

What kind of test? BTW, a very similar discussion with very similar points on each side is occurring in Van's aircraft with about an equal chance of resolution to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Dynon says the SV-GPS-250 will work at a degraded level in conditions where the SV-GPS-2020 may not provide acceptable ADSB performance. It's in the most recent install manual. Page 8-6, install manual: "However, the high integrity functions of the SV-GPS-2020 may require a different (better)...

I'm certainly no expert and I easily get confused. I know an ELSA is not a standard certificated airplane. Still, AC43.13-1B CHG 1 is not a bad reference. Here's an excerpt. " 11-30. GENERAL. When installing equipment which consumes electrical power in an aircraft, it should be determined...

If you are looking for a definitive answer, why not ask the local FSDO?

I have had two aircraft changed from SLSA to ELSA, and one of them had an amendment to the Operating Limitations. Nevertheless, I am no expert and the following is a layman's opinion. Operating Limitations are specified in FAA Order 8130.2(letter). The current edition is 8130.2J, but yours...

Carly Simon said it all in 1971. You all remember that, right?

Yes, I am asking Dynon to address a specific need I have. It is one that will influence what equipment I buy. Who is anyone of us to start filtering what we should ask Dynon to do? Other users such as the military may or may not have other uses for radio memory so that my wish adds to...

My experience with a number of older radios with memory function is that it is faster to use a memory function than to manually enter the frequency. In addition, it keeps my old fingers from messing up the manual entry and thereby taking even more time. I used the memory function regularly...

Per Appendix C FAA Advisory Circular AC 43.13-1B is an excellent resource for wire sizing requirements as well as other acceptable methods, techniques, and practices in aircraft inspection and repair. Try Section 13, Chapter 11

Dynon said they'd add my request for a memory function to their wish list.

Dynon support referred me to Dual Watch. Reviewing that feature was useful. It does not meet my wish for a memory bank where one or two simple button pushes would retrieve a memory like 121.5. To use dual watch on the non-primary radio, I have to manually enter the frequency which is what I...

I haven't found a memory capability in the SV-COM radio. Does anyone know of one? I'd like to be able to store in memory and then quickly bring up a frequency to standby. These are specific frequencies one might like to switch to or monitor but are not associated with a transmitter enroute or...

https://forum.flydynon.com/threads/radio-entry-readability.12939/ Well, this isn't what I intended. My intent was to post a link to a thread, but what seems to be happening is the base message is showing. Do a search on radio readability that I posted. I am still dissatisfied with my situation.

Brent, it seems your comment is an attack on the concepts expressed in my post and by inference a direct attack on me. Thanks for your thoughts. I'm happy for you that your like it your way. I am happy for me that I like it my way. You stated your position very plainly and forcefully. Mine...

As always, we should probably cite where we are coming from. I guess David is building an RV7, which if I remember correctly is side-by-side. I don't know how many radios he is putting in. Internal communication is probably not as big a factor to me with a two-place side-by-side airplane...
