He was asking for the information himself - meaning he intended to try to fix it himself - in which case yes he DOES need to understand the system. The other route, which I'm sure you followed in your six type ratings, was to hire a mechanic and let them worry about it. The OP did not choose...

Alright, I'll give you that - but a person who buys an aircraft and doesn't understand the way it operates, NEEDS to understand the way it operates. The only way to do that is to read the manuals for the installed equipment, and keep those manuals on hand for reference when a question comes up...

Fine. You're elected to solve all the problems, go be the hero. Enjoy.

Ok - so just to be clear - first you take me (and others) to task for telling the OP to RTFM - and then you tell the OP to RTFM - but somehow we are the problem? Got it...

Both the Pilot operating manual and the installation manual are available (free) for download here...

This is an STC install from Dynon, I suggest contacting them directly rather than the forum.

Specifically in the Skyview Installation manual available free from this very website - section 7, pages 7-47 and going forward.

And emergency glide function isn't going to do you much good at those altitudes anyway, no sense using it or practicing with it there.

And then you would have a dozen false "emergencies" a week as people tested/practiced with the Emergency Glide. That's an ATC headache you don't want.

See below for my current panel. I'm running the 440 dual 10" HDX. I see no value in the 540 since all it does is give you more glass - but realistically everything you need to SEE is already on the large Dynon screens. The only time I look at the Avidyne is initially entering a flight plan, or...

The software on the new screens is more current than what is loaded on your other devices. You'll need to do a network detect and configure. Section 4-12 of the installation guide, revision AM Press and hold buttons 7 and 8 to enter setup. Go to "System Setup" then "Skyview Network Setup" then...

I was in the same boat finishing out my panel in 2014 - and was badgering the Dynon guys about it just like you. One of them finally told me "We are not going to promise anything - it could be years or not at all - don't count on it until it hits the market." I bought a Garmin 430W, and then...

Apparently they changed the boot procedure - my older screens boot up with the usual splash screen, but one that I bought just last month does not, it acts like you describe. Personally I liked the old way better.

The last software update from Dynon included a change in the panel verbiage from "ADSB No Radar" (meaning not receiving radar traffic uplink from the ground) to "ADSB Partial" (relying on direct transponder pickup only). I also have noticed that I spend a stupidly inordinate amount of time...

If the shop is doing it, all you need to do is write a check! :p

Not necessarily. He could be cruising at exactly the screens cruise rpm setting, and the tach will still be less than the Hobbs. The Hobbs counts running time at 100% of actual time passage - one clock hour is one Hobbs hour. The Tach time is a function of rpm and time - so idling at 800 rpm...

No, not unless you are running a lithium chemistry battery that has a higher resting voltage. The Dynon system will not charge the screen backup battery unless the input voltage to Skyview is above 12.25 volts. You could certainly put a battery charger on the main battery and power up the system...

I'll add to the above that, the larger the amount of fuel burned and pumped the more accurate the adjustment will be. Pump the fuel yourself where you can visually see the level and make sure it is at the same place both times, rather than letting a lineboy do it, to make certain the amount of...

If the servos didn't have power on screen bootup, then Skyview never knew they were installed in the first place. If they "were not installed" then obviously they cannot fail, thus no warning. In your case if you boot the screen with power on the servos, then the screen knows the servos should...
