    ELT compatibility

    You will have to connect your ELT to an unused serial port on SKYVIEW and configure that port to NMEA at the desired baud rate. I have this setup with the ACK ELT. • Configure the SkyView display serial port: SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP > SERIAL PORT x SETUP SERIAL IN DEVICE...

    Software Version 16 disappointment?

    I loaded V16 and am somewhat disappointed there are no improvements supporting Avidyne IFD products. Since Dynon does not make a IFR navigator they are at a disadvantage to G. G products are much more able to share weather, traffic, ADS-B, radio tuning,etc. between their IFR navigator display...

    Accuracy/Consistency of CHT Download data

    I suspect you may have the logging periodicity set to slow, and the temperature spike was in between samples at a very short duration. You can set this in the skyview setup menu. "SkyView can record data as frequently as 16 times per second or as infrequently as once every 10 seconds...

    Accuracy/Consistency of CHT Download data

    So, you are seeing 279 C (535 F) for cyl temps? If so, that is way too high. You have a problem if this is real. The 350 F looks nominal for cruise. 400 F for climb. The DYNON system is normally very accurate. Your engine will not last long if those are real. Need to see more time to and...

    Determining static position error

    Here is an white paper on using GPS to Determine Pitot-Static Errors. It was written by Greg Lewis at the NTPS in Mojave, CA. If you go to their web site they have a free Excel download to do the math. This method has been used and written about many times in this forum and others.

    Audio alerts problem

    I borrowed one of the PS engineering units from my avionics shop when my Garmin GMA340 was in the shop. I lost the AoA warning tones with this audio panel. I spoke to PS engineering at OSH and he said all the inputs on this have a squelch setting. It sounded like it needed to be adjusted in...

    How to copy flight plan

    I am not that familiar with the GTN, but the IFD's can be configured as a remote device on the SkyView WiFi network. You can then retrieve a flight plan from your navigator into Foreflight, then push it to SkyView. This process is not perfected yet as Foreflight has some difficulty when more...

    Does not show battery charge current

    If you are installing the Transzorbs and Fuses to protect your EMS module the components should be wired as shown below. The 18Volt Transzorb acts as a switch to ground if teh voltage goes to +18Volts. This will immediately blow the fuse protecting the EMS module. This is for a 14 Volt...

    Does anybody have any suggestions for features of a post flight evaluation software system?

    There is a program called DATPLOT available free on the web. I have used this and it works good. I have used it to measure takeoff distance in high elevation takeoffs. Kurt

    How does Dynon come up with calibration coefficients

    Dynon, I am trying to understand how you come up with the calibration coefficients. It looks like you are using more data than a Skyview user has available to generate the coefficients. Example: The new 150 PSIG (P255-150G-E4A) pressure transducer you have in the .SFG file the calibration...

    Static MP Reading

    Another note: for manifold pressure restrictor. I had used a brass screw in fitting on my Lycoming # 3 cyl.. Before installation, using a propane torch I filled the fitting with plumbers solder. Then drilled a #60 hole through the solder. This allowed the pressure change to be seen and...

    Static MP Reading

    MAP needs to be absolute pressure. Gage pressure is for oil and fuel pressure. The physical construction of Absolute pressure sensor has a vacuum on the other side of the diaphragm. Gage pressure the diaphragm is vented to outside static pressure. If you want to use the Kalvico P4055 series...
