We understand the confusion - the DB9 connectors that SkyView uses as SkyView Network are much more commonly used on PCs as "RS-232 serial". However, on SkyView, the DB9 connectors on the SkyView displays, and most SkyView modules, are NOT "RS-232 serial". Thus any cable that is intended for...

To close the book on this: The FAA has investigated and found they did improperly uplink a "SPECIAL NOTICE" NOTAM as a TFR. Dynon's system received a TFR over ADS-B with no way to tell it was anything but. On top of this, there was an error in the transmitted data with one of the points of the...

John, Can you share your FAA report with us? That will help us decode what the primary issue is. You can email it to us at support AT dynonavionics DOT com. Please reference this forum thread.

John, The units issue can't be corrected without a software change. You don't have a way to make individual sensors different units (you can't show oil pressure in kPa and fuel pressure in PSI). We have a special case to allow something named MAP to be in a different unit, but this won't apply...

To be clear: version 1.02 firmware was the very first release of the D100, in 9/12/2005. We didn't release the bright screen until 1/9/2007, which would have version 1.08 at least. This unit is not a bright screen.

These are correct dashes. The em dash character is about twice as wide.

The Excel tool generates the correct type of dash (same as you would generate by hitting the - key on a keyboard). The "em dash" typically happens when you're using Microsoft Word and it replaces a dash between two words with an em dash.

Thanks for that suggestion! The Assistant Forum Tender is on duty at the moment. I'll let the Senior Forum Tender know about this suggestion, and he'll render his decision upon his return.

The following assumes you have a Dynon Avionics SV-XPNDR-261 or SV-XPNDR-262: Check SETUP MENU > TRANSPONDER SETUP > AUTO ALT/GND For most aircraft, it should be set to AUTOMATIC (AIR DATA) This allows SkyView to automatically sequence the SV-XPNDR-261 or SV-XPNDR-262 to GND or ALT. If you...

Look on the back or the side for the product label. If the P/N is 100488-000, it's a non-bright screen. If the P/N is 100488-001, it is a bright screen. A non-bright screen can be upgraded to bright screen for $400 at the factory, and at the same time we can update the firmware. A unit that old...

It's usually more effective to troubleshoot issues with a specific aircraft directly with Dynon Avionics Technical Support - email support AT dynonavionics DOT com.

George, If there was more that one speed used to calculate the glide ring, wouldn't the system need to tell you which speed to fly to get to various places on the ring? It would be a continuum of airspeed speeds around the ring. The risk here is that someone sees an area covered by the glide...

It uses the altitude of the terrain directly below you.

Bob, We'd love to have this too. But we've never quite figured out how to make it work safely. In order for the FD to assist in a departure, the system needs to have a set of rules to get you off the ground. In airliners, generally this is a specific pitch angle and zero roll hold until a...

Kevin, The GPS-2020 absolutely communicates HPL to the ADS-B out system (the transponder). It also incorporates FDE and is SA-aware. Do you have a link to the checklist that we can help out all our Australian customers?

With your current system, you're "compliant enough" to receive ADS-B traffic through 2019. As of 2020, the FAA 2020 ADS-B Out mandate requires: * High integrity GPS position source for the transponder (Dynon Avionics SV-GPS-2020) * Class 1 Mode-S / Extended Squitter transponder (Dynon Avionics...

In v14.0, we know the following don't work in the text of a checklist: Em dash: – Ampersand: & Degrees: ° There may be others that we haven't confirmed. It has not yet been determined if this will be fixed in the next firmware release.

The transponder is a serial device not a network device so it does not show up on the network status page (and didn't in previous SW versions either).

As discussed in the SkyView System Installation Guide, the fastest way to troubleshoot these is to use the comment character: # To isolate where, approximately the problem is, then progressively remove the comment characters, and try loading. Understood that's tedious when the computer is at...

Vern, Updated the forum to allow XLS and XLSX files.
