    Map info slow to respond

    I have a dual Skyview Classic installation with SW Version 15.0.4. Recently while scrolling through the airport Identifiers to look up airports the list becomes unresponsive for anywhere from a brief moment up to several seconds, like the system is searching a database. I have never...

    I would love directional traffic announcements

    I made this comment to the suggestions topic a couple of years ago after flying Garmin's system that does this.  It is a real safety enhancement, and I would really like to see this feature implemented.  It would be my #1 desired new feature, and frankly I think about the lack of this every day...

    XPDR Caution

    I am having this same problem. This just started recently after the backup battery fully discharged itself after shutdown. Recycling the XPDR power removes the warning. Never saw this in previous 2 yrs of flying.

    ADS-B Out flight check failed

    Dynon, has this issue been resolved with the latest SW changes?

    ADS-B Out flight check failed

    Thanks for the update.

    ADS-B Out flight check failed

    I uploaded my diagnostic file from last week for N199EC.  Antenna location- RV-6 1 ft aft of the canopy on fuselage centerline (top).  This location shouldn't be shadowed by wing or tail surfaces.

    ADS-B Out flight check failed

    There has been no flight time since the test flight. I'll download the diagnostic file and submit along with the FAA report. I believe that I have access to the detailed ADS-B track data from the FAA and may check that also.

    ADS-B Out flight check failed

    I recently upgraded my SV system to the SV-GPS-2020.  The SW is upgraded to 14.0.1 and the transponder SW was upgraded.  With the aircraft outside and the GPS receiving satellites, the transponder page in setup shows everything good. Initiated a flight from an airport in marginal ADS-B...

    GPS Altitude Accuracy

    At 18,000 ft the Baro reference changes from local barometric pressure to 29.92 to make the altitude reference equal to pressure altitude.  If skimming Class A airspace, might want to be aware of that.  :)

    DC SFRA or Forces of darkness CYA

    The 60NM ring is the speed restricted zone, and this has been shown as a part of the TFR on my ADS-B in equipped Skyview system for at least 2 years.

    SW version 14 Traffic

    Missed the transponder update as a requirement for the V14 update- thought that was only when adding SV GPS 2020, which I have now done. So that should resolve the issue. Thanks.

    Skyview AP anomaly

    There were no servo slips noted and the pitch up was gradual, I assume following G limiting, as was the pitch over. I have never had a problem with airspeed hold after I did my initial AP tuning, although I did have the pitch go divergent on a glide slope capture one time back at version 12 or...

    Skyview AP anomaly

    I was flying with the AP engaged and the FD roll mode in Nav, tracking the GPS-250 flight plan.  The pitch mode was set to vertical speed (-500FPM) as I was descending from my cruise altitude.  The altitude preselect was set about 2500 ft below my present altitude. Speed hit the max limit...

    SW version 14 Traffic

    I just updated to V14 SW.  The Skyview installation includes the SV-470 ADS-B in, and I have the 261 transponder with the GPS250 for ADS-B out (SDA=0 SIL=0). Throughout the first and only flight,  I kept experiencing recurring traffic and warnings that were own aircraft.  I have just installed...

    What certified GPS you need for IFR

    The Garmin G1000 will couple VNAV but only for enroute and with limitations.  Of course $300K or so will get you just a bit more.  :D But seriously, even the FMS's for some of the large airplanes won't couple VNAV.  IMO, the closer to the pattern I get (VFR) the more I want my hands on the...

    Red Background on Map

    Was there a TFR active? These display with a red tinted layer and with ADS-B in will dispaly when you climb high enough to pick up a ground station.

    Certified or not GPS for IFR

    I do not think that you will find a non-TSO GPS that will provide guidance for GPS non precision or precision approaches. You would have to build the approaches yourself and that is one of the key issues.

    Manual suggestion

    If you open the file in Acrobat (ver 9 or later), you can make the page numbering match. In Acrobat, select to see the thumbnails, right click and select numbering from the menu. We make PDF's for manuals via Word all the time and do this to make finding stuff faster. I do it for myself...

    Manual suggestion

    It would be immensely more convenient when using the manuals if the PDF page numbers matched the document page numbers.

    Map Info Items

    In the map-info items, "location" can be selected. I think that only displays the current location as lat/ Lon. I would like to see the location have an option to show the nearest public use airport or VOR with a direction and distance for use as a reporting point when contacting an ATC...
