Re: Checklist spreadsheet suggestion For your checklist tool: It would be nice to have a character count per line displayed so that we can manage line length. Alternatively, truncate the text output to show exactly how it will be displayed on screen. Right now, I just do it with an external...

One Minor Bug on Checklist 16 "EMERCENCY:  FIRE ELECTRICAL".  Emergency is spelled wrong. I've tried all the checklists and will upload tomorrow if I have time.  Thanks for the great tool.  I never thought I would use on-screen checklists, but it works well for startup.  Replacing the SkyView...

Dang, I could have saved the time it took creating my own. Doesn't work on my Ipad, but I will give it a try on my PC. Thanks Vern

Why not just put up the pre-start checklist? This way, we can do something useful while waiting for bootup.

Here's a sample Excel file posted.  I put it up in .xls and xlsx for best compatibility. Cheers, Vern Edit:  changed font in Excel to look more like .txt file

I have put together an Excel checklist editor to simplify the management of checklists and convert them to the SkyView .txt format.  All of my paper checklists are already in Excel, so this is easy for me. This is not a work of art, and I expect folks to improve it.  Unfortunately, this Forum...

Display legibility: new SkyView 14 inch display Designed to better fit the aspect ratio of most aircraft panels, the new SkyView 14 inch oval display allows for that sleek modern look so much in demand today.

I have a 10 and a 7" screen on my SV panel.  The 7 inch display is simply a scaled view of the 10 inch screen.  This makes much of the text illegible unless your nose is near the screen.  My ipad mini between my knees is more legible for map reading. If you want to encourage Dynon to fix this...

It's the only avionics product that I have ever discontinued. It's dead and buried .  I don't think it enhanced safety and that's the big reason.  Audio and haptics is the way to go.  I talked to ASTM and FAA reps about stall avoidance and it's more complicated than a visual display mounted to...

The three ways to indicate AoA are: 1. Visually on screen or glareshield 2. Audibly 3. Tactile/haptically Of these three, the most foolproof for stall avoidance is a combination of audible and haptic warnings because they work when you are distracted or not looking. For precision approaches...

Great! It was ambiguous from the video, but I did a freeze frame and zoom to confirm that the upload button was there for routes, not just a dowloaded fp. I can now ditch EasyVFR which does not provide Canadian CFS data or approach plates. I still have to buy datasets from them, though...

Dissappointing.  It requires that you create a flight plan on the Fltplan website, download it to the app, the push it to the SkyView. I was hoping that one could edit a route in the App and push it to the SkyView, which is faster, more convenient and does not require sharing personal...

Yeah. I downloaded the updated App that supposedly supports this, but no joy yet. Fltplan is a bit ragged with their updates and documentation, so fingers crossed that it'll be ready by the new year. Vern

Oh. From the original posting, it sounded like one could send a flightplan from the FLTPlan GO app (via wifi) to the SV.  BTW, this wifi transfer is what I have been waiting for, so I hope it comes soon. Vern

Nice rumour, but I can't find anything about it anywhere. Vern

I reworket all of the egt probe conections by repacing with barrel crimp connectors. That fixed everything for a while but now I have a probe failure. It has odd behaviour, working fine while the engine is running but not when shut down. Nevertheless, it's time for a replacement after less...

Electronically easy, mechanically complex. Attachment points, large forces and control friction conspire to make it aircraft-specific. A rudder with electric trim may be the easiest way, but adding mass to the rudder without careful analysis is risky. I looked at this for Van's RVs, and the...

Here's a simple true airspeed calibration technique that I have used with SkyView. It was very useful for an 8500' WOT speed runs on my Rocket, confirming a 250 mph maximum cruise speed: Stabilize indicated airspeed using the autopilot to hold altitude and heading. Using the autopilot control...

The Frequent Flyer also allows the use of Easy VFR on your iPad and direct transfer of plans using WiFi. Canada is an afterthought for PFMS and the database does not include IFR/procedures, taxi diagrams or CFS data, despite what it implies on the web site. It's pretty Euro-centric.

Yes, yes, yes! Also, improve the font size/contrast/legibility for the 7 inch screen. Vern
