    B/U battery not charging

    I recently (11/27) got back from an 11 hour XC to ICT. Now that I've kinda got the system figured out (is anyone really an "expert" with these things) everything went swimmingly. Only thing I can figure is that I've been "powering down" the HDX when I land, rather than let it run down the 30...

    B/U battery not charging

    Flew for a couple hours today. During the last approach I got the warning above in the messages. Once I was on the ground and shut down I tried to troubleshoot. According to the error message on the HDX panel, the backup battery needs at least 12.5v to charge, but the buss voltage (according...

    Software updates ---Owner Op not allowed??

    Newbie questions

    I just spent the grandkid's inheritance on a Skyview HDX for my 182 and have run into questions that I suspect are kinda dumb, but I'll be darned if I can find an answer in the documents I have. First, does the flight director need to be adjusted before takeoff like the old attitude gyro it...

    Upper size limit for usb drives on skyview?

    I just took delivery of my plane with a new hdx installed. The San disc usb thumb drive recommended by Dynon on Amazon is no longer available, so im trying to find a substitute. I know SA recommends "at least 16 gb" for the full up database, but is there any problem (formatting, etc.) with...
