Dennis, A little history first. The altitude reported to ATC by an encoder has always been pressure altitude (meaning the value referenced to 29.92) not indicated altitude (meaning referenced to the local baro setting).  This had to be true, because blind encoders were first and had no local...

This FAA site says it should have added for more services last year, but maybe we'll see them soon: https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/programs/adsb/pilot/#fisb

TomK, If that color is purple, then it looks normal for "some missing ADSB weather data".  Look at pages 7-70 to 7-80 or so in the Pilot's Guide.  It says purple means no ADSB weather data for an area. Both your photos show "no NEXRAD CONUS" received. Are you new to Skyview?  Is your ADSB...

Neal, I have a KX-155 installed in my full Dynon panel in a Lancair 360.  There is no ARINC communication provided in this radio.  Mine feeds a King LOC/Converter and then a Garmin mechanical indicator for backup VOR/ILS.  It has no connection to Dynon equipment.  Pretty sure there is no way to...

Just noticed that you will be doing your instrument training in a Velocity.  Do you have a CFII who is highly proficient in Velocity A/C?  If not, what I said about learning attitude flying in the earlier post will be even tougher.  Usually the instructor will be able to coach you in all the A/C...

Tim, Congrats on starting your IFR adventure! Have to concur about concentrating on the basics before worrying about the advanced cockpit electronics.  Knowing attitude flying, that is, how to hand fly constant airspeed level, or climbing/descending turns etc. with precision is paramount. ...

Pilot User's Guide, pgs 4-26 to 4-29 clearly explains all this. Some on this board have stopped helping those who won't RTFM.  So far, I'm OK, but for how much longer, don't know.

Homebuilt101, Think you have a couple of bad assumptions in your request. First, Skyview datalog recording time is not based on USB stick size.  The logs are recorded into NONVOL memory in the screen computer until the allocated region is full.  Then the data is overwritten with new...

Bob, Is display of ADS-B In data on the instrument panel required? I have full Dynon equipment, with a Garmin 430W and Dynon 261 TXP for out and an ADS-B receiver feeding an iPad for in. I already had the iPad for charting, so to me it was the most natural. Besides, I did all this before the...

Implemented since last installation/pilot's guide updates. From main menu on PFD Hardware Calibration, then ADAHRS Calibration, then PITOT/STATIC TEST MODE, then press TEST MODE you will then see, the following:

Tom/WMince The synchronization is true, if, you have both screens connected together with an ethernet cable.

You need to state what type A/C you have, then those with similar types can help.  My Lancair is probably quite different from an RV, for example.

Have you tried to connect a toy balloon to the line feeding the ADAHRS pitot input tube?  If so, does the balloon maintain pressure.  Then, does the PFD display show airspeed? If no success, then connect the balloon directly to the ADAHRS port and repeat the test.  If still no airspeed, replace...

Just installed circuitry connected to the EMS contact pin  for gear warning.  This works very nicely, BTW.  I used a tiny circuit board and a few parts so that the warning is turned off only if all three gear are down and locked. FEATURE REQUEST:  Make the "Check Gear" audio call out more than...

Dynon, do you mean the bug is "not in" or the fix is "not in"?

Steve, Yes, it has happened to me also for years. More often than for you though. Once every 15 hours or so. Similar setup, except classic Skyview versus touch. I also have complete loss of comm with the ARINC box, occasionally, in precipitation. Have to completely reboot Skyview to get...

Any update on this? Would really like to be able to transfer a GNS 430W flight plan through Skyview to an Ipad over the Skyview WiFi.

Brett, Yes, the roll interconnect tube rotates during pitch motion. The attachment of the servo control to that rotating tube has to allow for full motion in all those axes. Can't put pictures here for some reason, but look at my post from lancairtalk.net...

Vern, You said: "Come 2020, however, trans-border GA traffic between the USA and Canada will be virtually extinguished, so I may not bother." Please explain your thoughts on this.

Page 12-8 of the install manual: “Caution”   BATTERY MISSING/FAULT  A previously connected backup battery is no longer detected or has failed.
