Steve - Please do send us diagnostic logs if you can.

We're still trying to drive to root cause. We have another test version available that isn't as aggressive about rebooting SkyView (some customers were getting false positives - ie reboots that didn't result from an actual issue).

What exact version were you running Bruce? And did it completely stop working or did it reboot?

There are lots of features on sectionals that aren't in the airport/airspace data, like this. So while it's not in the "digital data", it would of course show up on the sectional if you have a chartdata subscription from Seattle Avionics.

Put another way, though - the SV-GPS-250 will still maintain lock in the same situations as it always has, whether set to SIL 1 or SIL 2. So the shortest answer to your question is "no".

We've been posting updates on this issue here. 14.0.1 improves but does not entirely fix the behavior (what were freezes in 14.0 become reboots in 14.0.1). We also have a good hunch that it's a software bug that only happens on certain earlier internal hardware versions. See that thread for the...

As we indicated above, we have a new version of 14.0.1 up on our download page. It does not have any further improvements to the behavior yet, but we've improved the diagnostic logging capabilities further (it turned out that we didn't quite catch the events that we were looking for in the first...

Yeah, that's true. The guidance that the x96 provides will be shown as a "needle" which SkyView's AP can follow. SkyView's own vertical speed required accomplishes the same thing, but you'll put the autopilot in VS mode instead and set it to the number SkyView provides. Same result, slightly...

The transponder and its GPS source would be completely separate from SkyView, but SkyView would still get traffic and weather since your external transponder source would wake up the ground stations, as Craig says. Now, my obviously-biased suggestion would be to update your SkyView ADS-B Out...

KRviator - it will actually be a few seconds longer than a 1/2/5 reboot as it archives diagnostic data. I don't have the hard number on how many readily available though.

David - There are examples of both. There have been people that have seen both displays become unresponsive, and those where it's only one of the two. We have a 14.0.1 live now that improves but doesn't entirely fix this behavior, but we're also able to provide reversionary instructions for any...

We'll have a release up in the morning that won't completely fix it but will turn the unresponsiveness into reboots and will also make diagnostic logs more useful so that we can get it 100% cured.

Nope, there's no configuration there. It should just work. Which position (A/B/C) is your shunt in? And is it on the positive side of the electrical system?

Kind of. A certified GPS is designed to take the GPS model and turn it into an MSL, which should mean it more or less matches when you get close to the ground where the local observation actually reflects the air environment. As you climb, the atmosphere is almost never the "textbook"...

No, SkyView does not provide a GDL 90 data feed.

No, the EFIS-D6 does not have the OAT or TAS calculation abilities. See this chart for the detailed feature breakdown.

Yes, the GTX will transmit mode C when it gets altitude from your D10A. It is the encoder. It's basically a single serial wire from the D10A to the transponder, as the installation manual describes.

Only the genuine battery is suitable to use. It's ALWAYS (and continues) to have built-in safety circuitry. One note is that the battery charges slowly over time when you have master power applied. A complete charge is 16+ volts. 15V is anything froma pretty discharged to partially charged...

That's really odd. Does the AP status area show that its engaged, or is it just the actuation of the servos themselves? Any chance you can take a video of what the screen is doing and email it to our support team? What mode does it engage in? If you had a stuck or always grounded disconnect...

If the EXACT text of the alert you're seeing is "BACKUP BATTERY LOW", then it's referring to the backup battery. If you're seeing "BATTERY VOLTS LOW", it's likely referring to a reading from the EMS module, which can be configured to measure voltage on EMS module pin 1 or 2. In that case, is...
