I have an entirely electric fuel system, so the pump idea won't work - but the hardware airspeed switch would, as well as the flap idea. I believe I can tie into the flap system easier than installing the airspeed switch. I normally drop flaps at 90 knots coming into the pattern anyway, so that...

That's what I was afraid of - I'm going to have to put on my "Wizard of Blinky Flashy Things" hat. How is the transponder currently controlled between Ground and ALT? Is it based on airspeed or altitude above ground?

Dynon - is there a way to get output logic from the Skyview based on flight conditions? Specifically what I would like to do is have Skyview give me a pin either grounded or with +5/+12 for sensing when I am above a specific airspeed, say 100 knots. Below that speed when my landing lights are on...

Most likely cause is the float indicator itself inside the tank. You can confirm or eliminate this by disconnecting the wire from the sender and using a potentiometer to duplicate the electrical input to the EMS device and make sure the levels go up and down with the voltage. Use caution to not...

At the time I had my HSI slaved to the Dynon, so I didn't see any indication there. I'll have to look at the 429 and see if that's the problem.

While flying yesterday I got a Caution alert on my Skyview Classic running 15.0.3 software, the message box said "GPS 1 Fail", but I still had a good solid lock on both my Skyview GPS2020 constellation status screen and on my Garmin 430W feeding to your ARINC-429. I could not get the message to...

It sure would be nice if you could have Skyview automatically adjust "local" time and ETA info based on crossing a timezone in flight, and maybe even for standard time versus daylight savings time. Flying from Texas into Colorado, the ETA shows my arrival at destination on Central time, when...

This is still a long way off for most aircraft but as part of the NextGen effort they are rolling out the DataComm equipment to allow ATC to talk to participating aircraft via data messaging to a transceiver in the aircraft rather than relying on voice comms. This will initially just deal with...

And the ability to move them around - specifically the nearest airspace indicator block - currently that is locked in position.

Yes, it's there, but it's not movable like the other info data fields, and it covers a large portion of the data displayed close to the aircraft in the right forward quadrant. I guess that's the co-pilots problem, since that's his side of the aircraft, eh?

One of the more recent software upgrades you added the airspace indicator on the right side of the Skyview screen about in the middle, that indicates how close you are to airspace and whether above/below etc... Can you modify this code to allow the user to move that info box to another location...

Same here - I just learned something, did not realize I could monitor standby on that radio... It pays to RTFM!

3.20 I think...

Hmmm, that would be useful, if I understand what you're thinking of. You could have the system log total gallons entered during fills, and compare that to total gallons burned via the fuel flow sensor, then have the option to "recalibrate" the fuel flow sensor with a correction factor after 100...

On Skyview Classic running 15.0.3 software, I noticed on the map pages when zooming in and out, I have the north up versus track up set to change at 50nm and that behaves as it should. Above 50 miles range it goes north up, and when you dial back below 50 miles it goes back to track. Now comes...

That's confirmed - the G5 will only accept IFR guidance from Garmin's GAD29 ARINC interface, you cannot connect to Dynon (or presumably any other) ARINC device.

I am having a similar issue, I suspect the software I have on my Garmin is too old to handle this task and needs to be updated. Can anyone tell me what version of software is needed for the 430W to feed data to the ARINC and then to the Skyview?

That much is clear - but that requires the TX from the 430W to the RX on the ARINC429. I'm talking about the TX from the 429 back to the RX on the 430 - are those required? Is there any data passing BACK to the 430 from the ARINC? I ask because the 429 has dual TX pins on A and B that are...

Hello Dynon, I have a dual Skview Classic setup with your ARINC-429 device taking data from a Garmin 430W to the Skyview for autopilot coupling of IFR approaches. I have recently installed a Garmin G5 in the panel for backup attitude indication and I want to also send the lateral/vertical...

Or if you've got a battery backup on the display you wish to be "Master" you simply power it up first on battery backup by pressing the first button, then when it's up and booted you bring your other display online by enabling the power to the displays.
