    D-180: calculation of fuel left in both tanks using one FF transducer

    FWIW: I have one FF transducer on a low wing airplane and have set the DYNON fuel flow to tell me to change tanks after every 5 gallons. During the pre-flight I measure and write down on my kneeboard how much fuel I have in each tank. Then when the DYNON alarms goes off in flight I switch tanks...

    ADSB -472

    If I will rendezvous with another aircraft I use my radio to get their general location if outside the DYNON display area. At that point ADSB is nice but not very useful. I use the ADSB until they are within 5 miles, then my eyes are looking for them out the window. I understand you wanting, but...

    ADSB -472

    Traffic can, and will, disappear once in a while no matter what electronic system you use. Just like cell phones crop calls once in a while. No system is infallible and you can not rely 100% on them. ADS-B helps you get a much better idea of where to look for traffic around you. Remember, you...

    WiFi Problems on SkyView Classic

    Not sure if related but my wife and some friends, who have iPhones, are having issues connecting to some WIFI networks. It seems they have become "temperamental" on a random basis. At the same time my Samsung Galaxy has had no problem connecting to the same WIFI networks. I wonder if some kind...

    No top line ZULU or LOCAL time on recent flight

    Just for clarity, the software upgrade is for the SkyView system so those of us that have 2 screens must upgrade each screen individually. 8-)

    out of serial ports

    Narrowing it to a "few hundred feet" may not be important to you but if I go down I want the search area to be as small as possible to increase the possibilities of being found quicker. YMMV But the ELT reports the last good position it received, which with some GPS units means only 1/5 of a...

    out of serial ports

    Since the ACK E-04 ELT does not transmit anything to the SkyView system, I wonder if you can connect the ADS-B module to your port #4 in parallel with the ELT? :-?

    Which GPS receivers does it affect? :-/

    USB Drives, Databases, and subscriptions

    FWIW: I have two 7" Classic Skyviews and a G430W. I only subscribe to the Garmin Database which makes me IFR /G legal. But since I have the WIFI dongle, I use the DYNON database for my moving map and the free FltPlanGo app on an Android Tablet for charts/plates. This set up gives me three...

    FAA ADS-B Performance Form

    The  -472 is an ADS-B "IN unit not an ADS-B "OUT". You didn't state what your ADS-B "OUT" unit is but if you are using the DYNON Transponder (-261) as your ADS-B "OUT", it is 1090Mhz only. 8-)

    Trying to work thru ADS-B options

    The DYNON Skyview sends its ADS-B OUT data via WIFI but you may have to trick your device to display it. For example, on my Android tablet running the FltPlanGo app I log in to the SkyView WIFI, select EXTERNAL > CUSTOM UNIT and enter PORT 4000 when prompted. I don't know about other apps or...

    Software update?

    +2 And the capabilities currently available are so much MORE than I will ever need. If they want to add additional "features" then that is OK as long as they don't cause an issue with any current feature. But additional features are just more "icing" on the cake. 8-)

    SV -XPNDR -261 Output of "Flight ID"

    Just because thread drift is common on INTERNET forums doesn't make it appropriate. And to quote Forrest Gump, "That's the last I will say about it" 8-)

    SV -XPNDR -261 Output of "Flight ID"

    IMHO this sounds like something that needs to be discussed with your "Congress Critter" not with others on an Avionics Forum. 8-)

    Displaying TACH time on a D120?

    When the D120 is set up for a ROTAX engine, only HOBBS time is displayed. Is there a way to also display TACH time without having to go into the SETUP section of the D120 every time I want to check it? I record TACH time for maintenance purposes. :-?

    ADS-B Out flight check failed

    Here is a depiction of "rule" airspace. As you can see, below Class "B" is "Rule Airspace" but below Class "C" is not. However, above both Class "B" and "C" is "Rule Airspace". Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. 8-)

    I need an external AOA display to sit on the dash

    NICE!!! You inspired me to go on SAAVY Reports and looked at my last 5 uploaded flights. Amazingly enough on every landing the AOA was between 74 - 76% while the IAS was between 60 - 65Kts. And I never looked at any instrument below about 500ft AGL. The darn thing actually works as advertised...
