I would like to see an option, maybe in the EMS page, to start a countdown maintenance timer to bring up a message to the user upon expiration. Maybe we could set a timer to expire on 681 tach hours for example, with the label "oil change due", something like that. If the timer is expired it...

With almost a year of flying on my new 9A where I put the trim position on the Skyview display, I can tell you that I believe I have looked at the trim position maybe twice. Obviously different aircraft are going to have different needs for accurate takeoff trim, but the RV series is not very...

Agreed - I have missed several calls due to the overlap of Skyview announcing something on top of ATC calling me. I ended up turning down the Skyview volume quite a bit, but that's not really an ideal solution either. Would it be possible to monitor the audio panel in some way to drop out the...

You should verify that it's not actually a bit of rudder trim that is needed, rather than a shim on the ADAHRS.

Really? So your empty weight is the same as your max gross weight?

Agreed - this would be a nice add-on - I also just take a screenshot currently and go update the paper logbook later.

You already get a verbal warning "Traffic!" in the headset, what more do you need?

It seems that this should be on the "Descent Checklist" rather than built into the Skyview, since you would need to perform this step in any aircraft, with or without Skyview.

It's more likely you've experienced a wire break.

This can be due to rising or falling air in the atmosphere from localized heating. You can pretty much eliminate this as a factor if you take a test flight early in the morning before the sun has a chance to heat the ground and generate thermals in the atmosphere, or by flying very high...

I see a lot of red flags in your story, most of which are coming from you (the user). I suspect you might benefit from a little more RTFM (Read The F'ing Manual) and a little less drama. Very happy Dynon customer here...

This happened to me on Tuesday afternoon leaving Oshkosh, near Madison WI. I'm going to assume that it was due to FAA computer workload, but man it sure got my attention in that particular situation with all the local traffic. I'm running the latest software on Skyview with the Dynon...

I did the same, I used a small computer CPU fan that draws 300ma and just hung it on the avionics master bus.

I am using capacitive senders in my inboard mains, and floats on the outboard aux tanks - both have a maximum level they will sense, and they will just display a + above that point. My inboards are 18 gallon capacity and they only show "16+" and my outboards are 16 gallons each, they display...

I think the liability aspect of this feature would be troublesome, in that some people would almost certainly use it to establish a pseudo-ILS approach to an airport or private strip that doesn't have one, and has not gone through the FAA procedure to approve that approach as "safe" with the...

That raises an additional question - can all ATC facilities see the tail number if it's broadcast by the airplane? Or only certain facilities?

Stall speed is based on the angle of attack on the wing, which is a function of both speed and load. A simple speed callout like you are requesting will not protect you from an accelerated stall. You would best be served with a genuine AOA sensor.

Software updates to the Dynon screens have been about 5 minutes in my experience, but you do need to have all your Dynon components powered up and online to do it, you can't just run the screen alone on the backup battery.

Maybe I'm missing it, but I've looked fairly well in the Skyview documentation (I thought) and have not found this - is there an info widget for the screen for time to destination or waypoint? I've got fuel at waypoint, but can't find the time to waypoint?

Put a battery charger on it if you are concerned about running it down, it could take 30 minutes or better to do this calibration. Make sure the airplane is in level flight attitude when you do it, as Carl mentioned - that should be the main longerons of the fuselage level, and level side-to-side.
