    Dual Band ADS-B

    Just to add to the discussion here, since a 100% Dynon system would be 1090ES out and UAT in: Per SV Pilot's User Guide Rev U 6-5, we file "EB1" on ICAO flight plans. Looks like there's no credit for having UAT in, although I'm not sure how that would affect anything practically. However...

    ADS-B Traffic after 2016 and Dynon’s Solution

    Thanks for the clear and timely explanation! Honestly, the easiest-to-understand source for info about the 2016 and 2020 mandates has been right here on the Dynon support forums. Thanks for doing what you do. Louis

    FAA SAFO - Xpndr mode while on ground

    I just got an email notification for this Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO 15006) from the FAA. It recommends that all operators (including GA pilots) "enable transponders to the altitude reporting mode...any time their aircraft is positioned on any portion of an airport movement area".  It...

    General Purpose Thermocouple - add to EMS-220 D25?

    I have a four cylinder harness and single EMS-220. I'm already using both of the D37 general purpose thermocouple inputs, and I'd like to add another J type thermocouple. I have some spare pins on the D25. Can I configure another input here as something other than an exhaust gas or cylinder...

    Fuel tank calibration

    I did two gallon increments in my best approximation of max endurance flight attitude. I have two suggestions: Be patient--give the readings longer than you think to stabilize before moving on to the next point. WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN!  I thought I was smart; I wasn't.  You really don't want to...

    Last two wires in SV-ECM

    Also, upon referring to the colors of the stock EMS harness...the black wire you're talking about is not D37P2 but most likely D37P5 which is an EMS ground. Here's the page that talks about sensor grounds (7-34).

    Last two wires in SV-ECM

    I'm assuming you're talking about the EMS D37P1 and D37P2 voltmeter inputs. Install manual rev T page 7-35 is the relevant page. I don't see a recommendation to fuse the inputs, however...where you intend on monitoring your voltage has some bearing on this decision. My voltmeter leads are...

    Foreflight connection ?

    Yes! This would be an absolutely outstanding feature. It was an agonizing compromise deciding whether to use the Stratus or install an SV-ADSB-470...if SV shared ADS-B data over wifi, the decision would be dead simple. My only other integration request is for ForeFlight to display actual air...

    GRT Current Sensor

    I haven't lost interest in this either--it would be incredibly helpful to analyze what my right electrical system is up to.

    Dual alternator: 20 amp Question

    Hi Roy - I have two separate electrical systems (two alternators, two batteries, two of just about everything).  I only have one SV-EMS-220, and it works well: [list bull-blackball] I monitor voltage on both via SV-EMS-220 D37-P1 and D37-P2 I also watch current between the alternator and the...

    More twisted pair questions

    Terminating the shield at one point vs. multiple depends on the electromagnetic coupling mode you're trying to defend against (electric or magnetic)[1].  Electric coupling is a function of the capacitance across the insulator between the signal wire and the shield[2], while magnetic coupling is...

    More twisted pair questions

    Manufacturer guidance takes precedence in specific instances, but I wanted to make sure the whole picture is out there: The 43.13 states that shielded wire is "typically connected to the aircraft's ground at both ends of the wire" (AC 43.13-1B Chg 1 11-89). Edit: clarified order

    Battery temp (carb or OAT) thermistor? BRRRRRR!

    I'm using Omega SA2F-J surface mount J-type thermocouples on my two batteries with great success--they're wired directly to EMS D25-P27/28 and P36/37.

    Red Line Manuals

    Good point! I was already impressed with the detailed change logs. Version tracking is no easy task...and really, Dynon's documentation is outstanding across the board.

    SkyView 12.0 Now Available

    Speed scheduling, deconfliction, safety features, tight integration with SV, configuration via the SV UI, and support from Dynon are all qualities the VP-X has, too. One of the reasons I chose the SV/VP-X combination was the hope that tighter integration between the electrical system and the...

    Any HUD Developments?

    SkyView 12.0 Now Available

    Outstanding release; I can't believe how much better SV gets just by waiting for software upgrades! Also, I just wanted to add my name to the list of people who would really like VP-X based auto trim. I don't have space for the AP panel, so the serial bus is my only hope!

    SkyView Battery Charging before first flight.

    Steve - SV and VP-X integrate very well, but not perfectly. You have to give up the engine page to see the VP-X page, and you'll be missing info one way or the other depending on how you configure everything. Everyone else - What we should all take away from this incident is the importance...
