No thoughts from the Dynon team? Carl

As clearly outlined in the install manual, the AP panel controls do not function if the SkyView is set for Simplified AP mode. I have four years flying a dual SkyView install and I am not a fan of the Expert AP mode, but I understand why the AP Panel set up is like it is. I just wish I dove...

You will receive ADS-B traffic and weather via the ADS-B receiver. As I understand the GTX-335, you will not have TIS information displayed on the SkyView like you would using the Dynon XPDR. A quick read of the GTX pilot guide indicates the GTX-345 may provide TIS but as you have the GTX-335...

I have an RV-10 and found the AOA calibration to be straight forward. Perhaps your multiple power setting approach is the issue. Recommend starting over and do just the no power, full flap stall. That is what I did and the AOA tone warning is amazingly accurate for landing. I get the first...

Here are some of the GTN-650 GPS antenna install instructions: 3a. The GPS antenna should be mounted no closer than two feet from any VHF COM antenna or any other antenna which may emit harmonic interference at the L1 frequency of [ch61472] 1575.42 MHz. An aircraft EMC check (reference VHF COM...

I was told that Garmin is aware of a known problem with some GTN-650 installations. A lot of factors involved. On my first GTN-650 install when transmitting on the GTN-650 the GTN-650 would loose GPS signal and drop out - usually right when you really want it on the approach. The SkyView GPS...

What are the bezel and panel cut dimensions for the 10" and 7" displays? Carl

These connectors are notorious for causing such problems. "Rework" does not fix it, Cut off the old spade connectors on the problematic probes and replacing them with a quality AMP connector (part number 640903-1,http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/pidg.php You will find getting to...

The autopilot should use whatever bank needed to achieve a standard rate turn - up to your max setting. Are you saying you don't get a standard turn even with the 30 degree max setting? Carl

Assuming your autopilot is set up correctly and you are not going too slow, it will give you standard rate turns. What it will not do is compensate for a cross wind. That is up to you. You can do simple stuff like have the AP on track mode a little left or right to compensate - but I'll let...

Page 70-71 of the install manual covers this. Carl FUEL TANK REMINDER – SkyView can be configured to alert the pilot to switch their fuel tanks at a set time or fuel usage interval (based on the fuel computer’s fuel calculations). When enabled, it will periodically annunciate a “Switch Fuel...

But - a GPS navigator like the GTN-650 puts out a lot of heat (it is a huge power hog). One or two $3 muffin fans mounted to the bottom of the glare-shield eliminates the issue - and provides defrost for the limited times you need it. I have them on a separate switch. Carl

Nice but the 25% price hike is excessive. The $500 reduction in legacy SkyView pricing also implies "old model clearance sale". Considering the now huge price spread between models I'm hopeful this is not the plan. In the meantime I'll recommend to builders to get the legacy SkyView at this...

I recommend you not get too far down this path before you fly configured as you suggest. Having my iPad running ForeFlight is a superb flight planner but it is, at best, a good comparison and backup tool in the cockpit. It simply does not compare with the Dynon SkyView display for flying IFR...

Four years now flying IFR running dual 10" SkyView displays. "Hiccups" are rare. I had one screen start to go bad but Dynon replaced it. Never had both screens with a problem. Not having both screens and both ADHARS connected to the network injects multiple failure modes that do not...

Don't forget to level the plane before starting the calibration. Carl

I am not affilliated with ForeFlight at all. That withstanding, why do you feel it is useless in the cockpit [for flying], except for backup? If I only had a iPad in the cockpit I suspect I'd have a different opinion. Flying with a full boat SkyView system (ADS-B weather and traffic, charts...

Carl would you be so kind as to elaborate??? >Yep - your choices are to load the flight plans on the GTN-650 data card or just fat finger them in. What is this data card you speak (type) of??? Is it a Garmin data card? Correct >I just input them after engine start from my iPad (using...

Yep - your choices are to load the flight plans on the GTN-650 data card or just fat finger them in. I just input them after engine start from my iPad (using Foreflight) as I find trying to do the data card route too much of a PITA). I rarely input a flight plan into the SkyView - but having...
