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.

Yes on both - and a way to isolate trim power as well - those are all good points.

Dude. If you don't like the autotrim, then don't use it. See a doctor, get some meds.

Indeed, you are correct. Mea Culpa

Well if you're going to blow off the NTSB report, then you're pretty much out in left field all by yourself.

There are two parts to the updates - the Dynon side, and the Seattle Avionics side. Start with a blank, formatted USB stick. Go to the Dynon site and download the latest database update, and drop it into the root directory (not any folder) of the USB. When you insert the USB into your port in...

I know some folks with PhD's that aren't qualified to pour piss out of a boot - so I wouldn't flout the "highly trained" bit too loudly. That is not, in itself, any type of qualifier.

Valid point - I've found ice in my RV on 3 occasions in just over 700 hours - never by choice. Your concern about autotrim in an ice situation is valid, but suggesting that we never use autotrim in IMC because of the possibility of an out-of-trim airplane being handed back to the pilot is simply...

In any airplane built for FIKI, I would agree - but I don't think Dynon systems have been STC'd for any FIKI models, am I wrong?

Knowing how far back the software issue goes may be helpful - but with all due respect, if you duplicated it, you have the case for the software guys.

Agreed, the knob panel can be sacrificed, the AP panel is the priority.

When you add fuel, and the system detects a SMALL change, but not large enough that is above a certain threshold, it gives you a warning that it appears fuel was not added or a change was not detected. Look instead at the reported sensor voltage displayed during the calibration - if that has...

The VP-X will pop on a high instantaneous current, even if the average current it lower. If the pitot heat controller is turning the heat full on (it cycles on and off) then for the first tenth of a second or so the current draw will be much higher while the filament heats up, then will drop...
