I just recently installed new cylinders and was doing some testing to make sure things are working as they should. The problem is that it's difficult to extract some of the test data if it's buried in a one hour flight. I was doing inflight mag checks but because the changes were so subtle I...

I had an engine out on takeoff. When I upload to SavvyAnalysis the user log shows the flight, but the black box data doesn't. The flight in the user log is 25 minutes but the black box only has three minutes. I assume the black box records only flight time. But the three minutes should show up...

I fly VFR and have a single com radio (with intercom) but looked with envy at the Audio Panels with phone and music bluetooth inputs. I fly solo half the time so a bluetooth enabled headset works but leaves the passenger to entertain themselves when I have one along. They are also pricy at...

This forum is pretty quiet about the new G3X Touch. I haven't examined it in detail yet but isn't imitation the sincerest for of flattery. I'm pretty sure that the X team secretly wanted a SV in their planes. ;) I'll have to admit I like the stuff that comes from Garmin. It was a toss up...

Just returned from a xcountry to Atlanta and back and had lots of time to play with the new 7.0. I'm starting to abandon my GPS495 in favor of Skyview for getting information about airports and flight planning. Nicely done Dynon. One minor point. I was doing some on the fly planning to get...

The static and pitot checks required every two years are a PITA to perform using the methods described on page 5-11 in the Skyview Installation Manual. Granted the checks aren't required often, but it would be nice to be able to put Skyview in a test mode so that it doesn't do any attitude...

It's a bit tedious to sit and watch the Skyview one hour annual backup battery test. Like watching paint drying. When I get busy doing something else I don't think to check until long after the system has shut down. :-/ It would be nice to have a self test. Press the annual backup battery test...

I designed an AFR gauge for my oxygen sensor: dynonavionics.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1268164287/29#12 The oxygen sensor output is 0-5V and the gauge seems to work fine but the log data output is a steady 9.999. It should read between 13 and 15. Did you ever come up with a generic...

March 2013 Plane&Pilot page 44. Is that true? :-? cool.

The SV EMS Sensor Definitions on the SV Support Web Page is dated 5/2/11 but the file has a date of 5/2/12.

I just returned from a xcountry flight and ran into a problem with the flight plan I imported from PocketFMS. I inadvertently had the same two waypoints in a row. Skyview got stuck and wouldn't advance to the next course. It wanted me to go back to the waypoint it got stuck on. I'm already past...

I started having an issue with a couple of my EGT probes. They seem to work some of the time. Once in a while they read really low - 20C when the other two are normal. I don't have a screen shot but will get one next time I see that. Since I put in the electronic fuel injection my EGT's have...

Does anyone know the data cycle dates for PocketFMS data? All I can find is that it is a 28 day cycle.

One use to consider for the discrete input on the Skyview harness would be to take a screen shot.

It was inevitable. I maxed out my serial ports. They are all used. Port 1: xponder Port 2: GPS Port 3: Traffic Port 4: VP-X Port 5: SV-GPS-250 Does that mean I can't add anything more? Should I worry about not being able to add a NAV/COMM. Can I optimize the ports I'm using. Will adding a GTN...

When I bring up the VP-X screen it seems to take a while to find the circuit or device I want. I realize the naming of the devices is one method of organizing the list, but I don't think the naming is alphabetical. The three items at the top of the screen are Starter, EFIS and Alt Field. Is...

I have a fuel injection system on my o320 with a return fuel and installed two "Red Cube” FT-60 flow transducers according to table 34 in the install manual. One cube is upstream from the injectors and one is downstream just before the regulator and the return to the tank. I have D37p14 named...

I was reading through the info for my ECU and a capacitive type fuel probe, both of which have options for a warning light. The fuel probe has a wire to turn on a light when the fuel hits a preset point to warn about low fuel. The ECU has the same function if there is an internal error. It's...

In the June 2011 Kitplanes magazine Jim Weir describes making a transponder antenna ground plane round or octagon of a specific size based on the 1090 MHz frequency wavelength. The SV manual describes the antenna ground plane for the SV-XPNDR-26X in a composite aircraft as being anything but a...

With the ADAHRS+EMS data now available from the Skyview has anyone investigated managing constant speed propellers for a single lever solution. I understand that Cirrus has a single lever for prop and throttle but just use a mechanical scheme. RPM is 2700 for low and high lever positions and...
