Do you recommend putting a screen protection film on the Skyview display and if so which ones are a good choice? 8-)

VERY well put. 8-)

True. You are not using the GPS for navigation but for "situation awareness". The controller is doing the navigation for you and has assumed that responsibility in this situation. This is routine in some areas and impossible to get in other areas. 8-)

Nice to know. How far down did you go where the database covered? 8-)

We don't fly with multiple engines/pilots/circuits but some do. Triple redundancy is not uncommon in aviation. Redundancy is a design trade off between required and available. So OK, FREE redundancy is not a bad thing.  ;) Adding maybe 1/2oz on a 2500lb aircraft is about a 0.0000125% increase...

Here is a link to FAR 91.205(d). http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=f470ae9f3f1654c16f93f5692a3dab03&rgn=div8&view=text&node=14:2.0.1.3.10.3.7.3&idno=14 The Skyview provides most of the required equipment except (d)(2) "Two-way radio communication and navigation equipment suitable...

That is what I thought. Hey, it was available, free and easy to connect so I did it. "There is no such thing as excessive redundancy".  8-)

I am getting everything (HSI) on my Skyview but I am not sure what G430 data is being received via ARINC vs Serial. If I loose my SV-GPS and AERA the G430 data should run my Skyview.  8-)

It was available and easy to do. No such thing as excessive redundancy. 8-)

Oops, overlooked that "minor" detail.  8-)

I forgot to mention the G430 is also connected via ARINC. Maybe I should just use that connection and free up one port. Will Skyview V6 also push data to a G430/530 like it will to an SL30/40? 8-)

GREAT, but I am out of serial ports. 1-Aera 2-SV-Xponder 3-SV-ADSB 4-G430W 5-SV-GPS 8-)

I could not get the link to work but found this one http://www.challengers101.com/CalASI.html that worked.  8-)

YES!!! This will make verifying which source is being used so much faster with less margin for error. 8-)

How about having the option to display either an IFR chart or Approach plate on the Map page instead of the "VFR" map currently available. 8-)

Man this is a great idea. A stopwatch/timer controlled by either a screen or remote button. 8-)

FWIW: Here is how I use my dual display Skyview with EMS, ARINC-429 and ADSB. 1 - Set up the Pilot display with PFD and Map page (50/50) 2 - Set up the Co-Pilot display with PFD and EMS page (50/50) Before engine start, press the SWAP button so the Pilot display has PFD and EMS pages (50/50)...

Sounds like yours is working correctly but mine doesn't do it. 8-)

THANKS! Mine does not do it with the Skyview but it did with the GI-106. However everything (VOR/ILS/LOC/GS) is working properly, as verified in flight, so I don't know what is going on.  8-)

I just had to post a picture of my new Skyview instrument panel.  8-)
