    Transponder and ADS-B Antenna Ground Plane Questio

    I used the small ground plane that Dynon suggests. I made it from a small piece of scrap in the shop. Better yet, you can mount it internally. The Velocity is fiberglass. Mine is mounted internally in a Glasair and it performs flawlessly with no drag!

    Will DynonServos fly you down the glideslope?

    The Skyview system will only fly the vertical portion if that is provided by a certified IFR receiver normally through an ARINC adapter. Your system will fly the lateral portion of the approach although it is not legal to do so in IFR conditions unless the information is provided by a certified...

    Dual Frequency ADS-B Receiver

    If you are counting on virtually all GA aircraft having ADSB out in 2020 you may be very disappointed. It is a fact this need only be done by those who are currently mandated to have Mode C. The vast majority of the country can be flown without Mode C now and also without ADSB even in 2020.

    My Winds Aloft Reading Error

    I have the same static port mounted the same way and it is fine. As long as the location is per the plans, the port should be fine. I agree that compass calibration should be checked.

    AP started flying me in tight circles

    Did you try HDG or TRACK mode for the Dynon to eliminate the possibility the IFLY720 is causing this by commanding the turns? The Dynon autopilot does what it is told (as shown on the HSI) when in NAV mode.

    Screen repeater app

    I would like Dynon to consider developing a screen repeater app for the iPad. While the WIFI dongle will allow Foreflight synthetic vision to show the Skyview attitude etc, this is not the functionality sought. Ideally, the WIFI dongle would allow a repeat of whatever is shown on the screen of...

    K factor adjustment

    Is it the fuel quantity in the tank upon refueling which is incorrect or the amount of fuel you expect to add based on fuel used? Tank quantity accuracy likely lies in fuel transmitter calibrations. Fuel used being incorrect is K factor adjustment. These are two different things.

    ForeFlight connectivity comes to SkyView via Wi-Fi

    Like the ability to transfer flight plans but the "screen repeater" is much more valuable to me. I will write to Foreflight to request it be added to the basic level (I do not need anything else in the pro subscription level so it just doubles my price). Dynon, please request Foreflight move...

    ADS-B compatability

    The SV GPS 2020 is not an ADS-B receiver or transmitter. The only relationship it has to ADS-B is that it provides a WAAS GPS position source suitable for use by an existing ADS-B system in an Experimental aircraft to meet the FAA standard. Previously, a certified WAAS navigator was required to...

    Garmin 480/CNX 80 Auto switching on approach

    Dynon you are correct. The 480 also auto switches back to GPS nav during the missed approach. I had figured immediate selection of NAV for roll mode as a work around but it would be great to simply have the Skyview not change lateral modes. I appreciate that one can choose between IAS and VS for...

    Garmin 480/CNX 80 Auto switching on approach

    There are a few of us who use the Garmin 480/CNX 80 certified IFR WAAS navigator in our Skyview systems. There was a  question as to whether the Skyview would honor the navigators ability to switch between GPS and VOR/ILS guidance. The way this works is the unit uses WAAS GPS for all navigation...

    Pitot Static Check Maintenace Mode

    Very much in favor of the test mode. I do not wish to introduce an error during the 24 month check as the systems operate flawlessly now.

    VOR radial help please

    Should have a report soon. Wet weather and grass runway did not mix. Checked the auto switching setting and it is set to YES. Will report here Ryanallen, hopefully this week. Sorry for the delay.

    VOR radial help please

    Thanks for the information. Looks like it would have been defaulted to ON when I upgraded to Ver 10. Now on current (13.03 I think) but I will check the setting. I will fly the aircraft and report back on the GNS 480 switching in case you get others with questions.

    VOR radial help please

    What Skyview settings are required to have the transition to/from GPS and VOR/ILS? My GNS 480 is set to make the change automatically. I have GPS output to one pointer and VOR/ILS on another. The HSI source normally tracks the GPS portion which should automatically switch to VOR/ILS (in the 480)...
