    New feature request: Copy flight plan

    I have a certified WAAS IFR navigation receiver used with my Skyview system. The flight plan loaded in that unit flows over ARINC and is shown as a tab on the Skyview flight plans page. Like most modern navigation units it can load routes utilizing T routes, Jet airways, Victor routes, SIDs...

    Display of TIS traffic on Skyview

    I understand Skyview can display traffic on the display if it is received over a serial port in TIS format. I know the ADSB 470 box can display traffic an weather on the display but I am having difficulty finding a way to mount another antenna with enough separation from the other current ones...

    Retain fuel tank switching alert

    I would like to see the option to have the fuel tank switching reminder alert retain it's information across power cycles. I find the alert very useful in keeping a balanced fuel load. On cross country flights I fill fuel tanks completely at each stop as long as useful load permits. On other...

    GDL 90 protocol for ADSB on Skyview

    Unless you fly under Class B airspace, over Class C or above 10,000 feet you may decide if you wish to comply with the ADSB out mandate for 2020 as a matter of personal choice. Due to the fact I live and fly under the Mode C veil of Class B airspace and much of my flight is under B, over C or...

    External navigator input to Skyview

    I replaced the input for a Garmin 496 to a GRT Mini. The Mini accepts flight plans from my GNS480 perfectly. It will output to the Skyview over serial ostensibly to feed the HSI as did the 496. Is there a preferred baud rate in Skyview? What format should I tell the Mini to use? Generic...

    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...

    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...

    Transfer settings across aircraft?

    I am helping a friend install a dual Dynon Skyview system to replace a full steam gauge panel. Is there a way to use the backup I have of my aircraft on his such that all the widget positions and limits are imported? This would save a lot of work. I will then only have to modify the differences...

    Export flight plans received over ARINC

    I really like the ability to display the flight plan from my GNS 480 on the map and HSI which comes over the ARINC connection. It would be nice to be able to export the flight plan to the USB I keep in the Dynon. My GNS 480 and most ARINC navigators today are capable of planning using airways to...

    VSR index

    I would very much like to have the VSR (Vertical Speed Required) index function be active when Skyview is using a flight plan from an IFR navigator over the ARINC bus. I can have the Skyview use the flight plan from my GNS 480 by selecting it as the map source. When the HSI source is set to the...

    Flight plan import from external source

    The flight plan from my GNS 480 (like any certified GPS navigator) can be displayed on the Skyview map having come over the ARINC lines. It would be nice to be able to import the points into the Dynon. This would allow me to save it (flight plan export) on the USB flash drive kept in the Dynon...

    Leaving flight directors on

    When the autopilot is engaged the flight directors automatically display. I really like this feature. Unfortunately, when I disengage the autopilot, the flight directors are removed. This happens even if the flight director was selected on prior to autopilot engagement. I would like the flight...

    Index for flaps?

    I would like to see the addition of an index mark on the flaps display. The trim display places an index at the takeoff trim setting. This very small green tick mark is very easily identifiable and helps verify correct trim is set for takeoff. I would like to see one added for flaps. My plane...

    Garmin 496 navigation source

    I borrowed a 496 to check my Skyview system which is also running a GNS480 and the Skyview itself for navigation. The 496 is set on Serial input 3. If I set the HSI source to the 496 the labeling will correctly show the 496 as well as bearing and distance to the first point of a flight plan but...

    Persistant tank switching message across flights

    I have my fuel tank switching reminder set to alert me based on the amount of fuel used. In my case, it warns me at each 5 gallons used. I would like to suggest the ability to keep track of the fuel used for the memo across Skyview shutdowns if no fuel is added. As an example: I take off and...

    Time requied for display of contact sensor

    I was thinking about tying one of the contact sensors to the pulse feature of my landing light so that I could tell it was on since the switch is a Push On/ Push Off toggle on the stick. The contact could sense voltage essentially above zero but since the light would be pulsing, would the sensor...

    True airspeed color ranges

    I am flight testing an RV4 just completed. I have put all of the appropriate V speeds into the Skyview and the airspeed tapes accurately reflect the analog Vans airspeed indicator mounted as a backup. Cruising at 7500 feet and indicating 154 knots, the Skyview airspeed tape just turned yellow as...

    More colors?

    Has any thought been given to adding more colors to the EMS palette? Specifically, I would like to see the addition of blue which I will use to denote cold temperature. This would be of value at the extreme low end of CHT, Oil temp, but also a condition for Carb temp etc. My thought is the...
