    Servo Shear Screws

    No need. Sorry for the typo. Post fixed.

    Weather Area Covered

    From above: You can get the lower resolution for anyplace in the USA and zoom in and see it, but this does not make it as high resolution as the areas near you. It's all relative though, the "low" resolution is still pretty good and given that it would take at least an hour in a a fast RV to...

    First Do No Harm

    Page 3-14 of the install guide covers enabling / disabling the AoA indicator: Page 5-22 of the install guide covers calibrating the AoA. It is not fully automatic.:

    Weather Area Covered

    Page 5-72 of the user guide: There are some EFIS systems that only show the local data, but SkyView is not one of those.

    Data Comm module for Skyview?

    DataComm is pointed pretty directly at jets flying IFR. The FAA has no public roadmap showing it being used for GA, and their roadmap goes out 7+ years. Given that, no, we don't have one in development, but there's nothing that would prevent us from integrating one with our products if that...

    Source of DSub spares.

    There's nothing different about our housings or pins, so you did likely just get the wrong size. We buy standard off the shelf pins and housings. The Part Number we use for the female pins is M39029/63-368 and for male is M39029/64-369. These are mil spec numbers so they have plenty of...

    Performance Snapshot

    As an idea that doesn't require new software from Dynon, if what you are looking for is data that is on the screen (which I assume it is because you mentioned writing it down), you can use the screenshot function for this. Buttons 2&7 at the same time save an image to a USB drive if connected...

    Noise from dimmer switch

    Craig, If I understand your question right, you're using a PWM dimmer to dim SkyView's screen? If so, this is not supported. The input to SkyView must be a changing voltage, not a PWM. It will act quite strangely with a pulsing voltage on the dimming input. SkyView itself is a PWM driver for...

    Network Hub shielded?

    No shielding or spacing is needed for SkyView network wires. The network wires Dynon sells are not shielded. The signaling used for the network is very low noise and very robust. You can wrap the wire around the main aircraft power wire to the battery and it will still work fine, so 2" of space...

    Autopilot menu graded out.

    Generally it will tell you why it's grayed out. Does it say? Do you have an AHRS installed and working? Is it at zero airspeed?

    Strange Traffic Display With PowerFLARM

    That's how PowerFlarm indicates a target where it doesn't know what direction it is. This will be true of all Mode C targets as they can only estimate how far away the target is, but they have no idea what direction. I notice they did show altitude on one of the 8 targets in all cases, so that...

    Why 'No Radar' for ADSB status

    Remember that a dual-band receiver doesn't pick up all transponder equipped planes, only those with ADS-B. So anytime you are NO RADAR you'll be missing 90% of aircraft, just like a single band receiver. The only advantage to dual band is in the cases where you're in a place where you also...

    Why 'No Radar' for ADSB status

    This means you're in an area where your plane cannot be seen on radar. Because your plane cannot be seen on radar, the system assumes that the plane next to you which is a threat also can't be seen on radar. Since only about 10% of planes are ADS-B equipped, without radar it means you're missing...

    upload latest software/firmware

    Tom, What part of the process failed? Did you get an error message? What is "locked mode" for a USB drive?

    Auto trim in simplified mode

    Page 18-9 of the install manual says: So that seems pretty clear that the auto trim functions work with any AP mode. As for trim control and speed scheduling, the install manual doesn't mention AP modes at all in that section. That's because manual trim control and speed scheduling works even...

    TIS-B traffic info

    Can you get a screenshot? It should say "TIS OK" not "TIS-B OK" And just to be clear, TIS-A has nothing to do with ADS-B. It has existed since the 70's,long before anyone ever dreamed of ADS-B.

    servo test giving incorrect results

    You need to re-calibrate. That's where it learns which way the servos are installed.

    TIS-B traffic info

    Welcome fellow Seattle-ite! You don't get TIS-B. You get TIS-A which comes from the transponder. It only works in very limited areas of the USA, but the very dense Seattle area is one of those. Page 7-28 of the user guide has more information including a link to the AIM which has detailed info...

    Fluctuating tacho reading

    Actually, SkyView displays the higher RPM of the two inputs in real time. It does not switch like the D10 series does.
