What is the expected life of a Skyview backup battery? Ii have a dual screen system with two backups, one has failed after two minutes on test, the other is ok. The system is factory installed (FD) two years old, 600 hours flight time. The aircraft is operated in Thailand so subject to high...

They are installed, one in each wing, about 4' outboard.

The compass was in contact with the wing, immediately below the adahrs, so about 3". The fixing bolts are stainless and do not appear to be magnetised, certainly they are not attracted to a magnet. The only other metal parts nearby are the pneumatic fittings - brass, the aileron bellcrank and...

Compass - done. There is no detectable magnetic influence in the area of either of the Adahrs. The compass used is a Suunto marine bearing compass, so is known to be accurate. The system appeared to complete - each direction saved and green, and accepted the update.

My location is Pattaya, Thailand:- N12.900 E100.934 Mag Intensity 42177 nT Mag Inclination 12.3deg Mag Variation 0.6 deg Does this help any?

Yes, I understand that both adahrs are calibrated at once. Sadly it makes no difference which one we use - both are accurate E-W and approx 12degrees off N-S.

I have had four attempts to recalibrate the magnetic compass in the sky view. We have two screens, two Adahrs in a ctls. The Adahrs are mounted in the wings well away from any ferrous metal, and are correctly aligned and leveled. The best result I can obtain is (actual / 200 / 201) (the true...

Thanks for the chat and organising the fix.

This weekend we flew to tweak the autopilot settings on our skyview system. Two pilots, two screens. We identified a number of issues:- When we Ientered the in flight setup menu on screen 2, instead of Efis on screen one and a half screen ems on screen two, we had efis on screen one and a half...

I have loaded the 3.1 upgrade file , but now have red crosses and efis and ems error screens. Config tells me the sv100 panels require update, all other hardware ok, but I seem to have all the latest config files loaded. there is no "press to update" option shown. Both screens tell me the same...

My factory installed skyview was delivered with the tail number configured as "ctls", as the registration was not known at time of import. After upgrading to version 3 I changed the tail number to "hs-fer" before importing the jeppesen databases. Now the message bar shows a "tail number" message...

You are correct, the screens power up on battery, but the avionics master must be on to power up the rest! I followed your network config suggestion, all now working correctly - thank goodness! Thanks for the help

All modules were working. I simply followed the instructions in your webpage:- installed network cable, and loaded software in order. Will let you know how I get on.

I have dual screen Skyview, factory installed in a CT, with firmware 2.6. I have followed the instructions to upgrade wiring and install version 3.0. Now both screens show ems and adahrs errors, setup shows adahrs and ems require firmware updates. Where do I find these?
