I note that when the "nearest" window is open that miles updates as one flies along, but the relative position does not change when the miles indicates a change in relative position is indicated. For example, if "nearest" shows airport A 10 miles away and airport B 12 miles away, when A becomes...

slingshot is only of iPad and iPhone. Cuts me out. I have a Garmin 625 and 2 SkyView Touch 10". What is the best map data for the SkyView that doesn't rely on Seattle Avionics?

It looks like reading the FAR would have answered part of my question. The rest I got figured out.

I'm building a small plane and do not want ADS-B out. I would like to have ADS-B In to get the weather. I have an SV-261 and Classic Touch. At some time in the future, I may implement ADS-B out, but not initially. I want a legal installation. Do I have to get a different transponder or is...

You can go IFR if you go ELSA but you have to be very cautions of how the Operating Limitations are written. Some of the OL paragraphs will not let you go IFR if they are included. Talk to your DAR and read the Order first to be sure you don't' get ambushed. Go back over to CTFLIER and there...

"Given there are legal portable navcoms for under $500, it should be possible to build/acquire a private label nav receiver to integrate into their com." I guess I'm behind and was unaware of portable legal navcoms. Could you mention one if you have a chance? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing that idea.

I was sitting in my airplane today and did figure it out, but thanks to all who responded with helpful reminders.

I can't tell from the two SV manuals how to change the titles of the lines in the maintenance log. I'm not near my plane at the moment so I can't try editing the line names. Does anyone know how to do this?

What other equipment would be needed to implement a NAV/COMM? TSO'd head? Upgraded audio panel?

This is from 3-14 of the HDX manual. It doesn't work? It seems to say you can set the width of the band. Thus, if you want an alert at 150 feet instead of 200 this is the place to set it. "o DEVIATION BAND: When the altitude of the aircraft climbs above or descends below the altitude bug by...

Try page 3-14 of the current installation manual. I don't know from certain knowledge but the reference seems clear. That is for the touch. I don't know what version display you are using.

My short review of Skyview Installation and Operating Manual s doesn't show that Skyview has a way to deal with transition altitudes. It is as if in North America when we reached FL180 (18,000') the altimeter automatically reset to 29.92, standard barometric pressure. instead of nearest baro...

They shoot horses, don't they? :)

BTW, It was pointed out to me that we have a possible internal inconsistency in the FAA. Don't ask me, I'm as confused as anyone. I suppose one could argue that the FARs have one definition and everything else has a different definition. Jim Title 14: Aeronautics and Space PART...

The following comments are directed only at use of language. They do not represent my view or any view on how antennas are installed as discussed in this thread. From FAA Order 1000.36, which is official: Chapter 2, 1 "h. Avoid using “shall.” Shall is an ambiguous word. It can mean must...

Why don't you call Arian Foldan at Flight Design USA and ask him? He's sharp. He's on EST. But like I said on the other forum, there is a cable plugged into the back of other SkyView display - trace the wire. Are you sure you even have a backup battery on that display? See where the backup...

What kind of test? BTW, a very similar discussion with very similar points on each side is occurring in Van's aircraft with about an equal chance of resolution to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Dynon says the SV-GPS-250 will work at a degraded level in conditions where the SV-GPS-2020 may not provide acceptable ADSB performance. It's in the most recent install manual. Page 8-6, install manual: "However, the high integrity functions of the SV-GPS-2020 may require a different (better)...

I'm certainly no expert and I easily get confused. I know an ELSA is not a standard certificated airplane. Still, AC43.13-1B CHG 1 is not a bad reference. Here's an excerpt. " 11-30. GENERAL. When installing equipment which consumes electrical power in an aircraft, it should be determined...
