    Auto pilot panel - helpful for a VFR airplane?

    I have a dual screen HDX panel and my AP is configured for expert mode. When you configure the AP for expert mode, the virtual AP panel displayed on the screen is a duplicate of the SV-AP-Panel. When configured for simplified mode, you get a different display. The virtual simplified mode...

    Auto pilot panel - helpful for a VFR airplane?

    Note that the SV-AP-Panel is only active when you have configured the Autopilot for use in expert mode. If you are predominately flying VFR and have configured the Autopilot to use simplified mode, the SV-AP-Panel serves no function.

    Skyview HDX ADS-B Traffic disappears then reappears

    The only way to know if an update is available is to manually check the ADS-B / Transponder / GPS setup pages after every firmware update to see if they need to be updated. FWIW, the email I received from Dynon stated that the ADS-B/Transponder/GPS components have only been updated once in the...

    Skyview HDX ADS-B Traffic disappears then reappears

    From a recent email exchanged from Dynon Support I learned that ADS-B, Transponder and GPS updates all have to be handled manually. The process for each is detailed in the installation manual. https://dynonavionics.com/includes/guides/skyview/SkyView_System_Installation_Guide-Rev_AO.pdf

    No response?? What's up with that? Solving this problem should have a priority higher than the number 1 can convey!

    Reversion Mode with 3 Displays

    I don't think it was intended to work that way. From the Ops Manual: "If reversion mode is enabled and active (other display(s) offline), the following display layout settings to be displayed can be selected in Setup. This behavior applies equally whether all but one display in your system has...

    SYSEVENT 20 , HDX went black

    Anything new to report? My wingman has a new Skyview HDX system installed. This weekend the PFD screen froze and then rebooted with a System Event 20 error message. Fortunately this happened on the ground while taxiing to the active runway. Diagnostic file was sent to Dynon. This was...

    Fuel tank timer

    Apologies for the confusion but I don't think we are talking about the same function. I agree with you 100% regarding how the Fuel Computer currently calculates fuel used during the flight and resets that count across engine starts. I don't want that to change. What I am referencing is the...

    Fuel tank timer

    I respectfully disagree, that is not what I want. As you noted, the SkyView Fuel Computer will accurately keep track of "Gallons Used" and "Gallons Remaining". "Gallons Used" does, and should, reset after every shutdown. The Fuel Computer will be as accurate as the "K" factor of your fuel...

    I've seen this happen on a dual HDX setup. Pressing #1 button would not power off the screen. Fortunately, pressing the reboot keys (1+2+5) did in fact reboot the screen.

    Fuel tank timer

    The alerts don't work across flights. I fly a tandem aircraft with 21 gallons in each wing and I switch tanks frequently to keep them in balance. I use a pad of paper and pencil to keep track and wanted to try using the alarm. I set the alarm to alert me every 6 gallons so I can switch...

    Functions not invoked when button pressed

    Both my wingman and I have installed new dual screen HDX Skyview / Advanced Panel systems this year. Systems have the latest firmware installed. We will frequently encounter a problem where a button is pressed, an audible click is heard, but the function is not invoked. In my case, it...

    Keying mic affecting cht’s

    Skyview com? New or existing antenna? This is a classic symptom of too much Radio Frequency (RF) in the cockpit. The antenna could be bouncing back RF into the cockpit. Check your comm coax cable at both ends. What type of coax cable are you using for the com? What type of antenna are you...

    SYSEVENT 20 , HDX went black

    If you sent them the debug files, they will most likely send them over the software engineering team to evaluate. It doesn't necessarily mean that they will be able to find the root cause of the sys20 event as was the case that I saw during runup. Good luck, and keep us udated!

    SYSEVENT 20 , HDX went black

    Experienced a similar event on a new HDX install with about 100 hours on the Hobbs. This happened during runup. Rebooted twice with a Sysevent 20 and a Sysevent 21, then resumed normal operations. What I was able to glean from tech support is that a Sysevent 20 is a software generated event...

    RV-8 SV-EMS-220 install location and Firewall Penetration

    I upgraded my RV-8 this year to a dual Dynon HDX Skyview system and used The Dynon Fast Track universal mounting trays. With the exception of the ADAHRS, I was able to mount all the Skyview components behind each screen. The ADAHRS was mounted in the rear of the fuselage. Not all RVs can...

    Transponder errors are listed in the Skyview installation manual. Get a copy of the Skyview Installation manual that is appropriate for your model. From the manual: TX POWER LOW (value) Transmit power output is low; value is Power output. Generally, an installation issue with antenna...

    Reversion Mode with 3 Displays

    There is an elusive bug in the Skyview system that results in a black screen. Speculation is that it is associated with screen swaps and Reversion mode. Dynon recommends that you disable Reversion mode when using multiple monitors. Related post...

    system event 20 and 21

    I get it, but I don't like it, particularly when your new PFD reboots in flight. Some system event codes are well defined. I.E. "System Event 5 indicates that the SkyView display's internal Solid State Disk (SSD) is experiencing an abnormal number of errors, and thus should be replaced."...
