My Dynon Touch CDI shows 2 dots to the left & right of each wing tip on the centered plane symbol (Pilots User Guide, figure 23, page 4-13). "When in NAV mode, full scale deflection indicates ten degrees of deviation from the VOR radial" (page 4-15). On other CDI's, I've seen 5 dots/marks to the...

Dynon - There have been multiple reports on this forum that the new AoA calibration procedure introduced in ver. 16.6.0 does not include the AOA Calibration Page detailed in figure 57 of the Nov. 2023 Installation Redline Guide (page 5-20). Could you please post some guidance on this issue?

I curious where others have set their Angle of Attack Tone Setup menu settings and how they selected their % value? (see attached). My AOA Calibration was performed in level flight - no flaps - throttle pulled to minimum, as I'm wanting the visual AOA Indicator to display when I'm nearing a...

I am using 2 ea. HDX-800 EFIS screens in my RV-6 - one for PFD and the other for Moving Map/Navigation. Using Seattle Avionics map data, I am able to select a plate for a given airport on the Nav screen but it is always displayed in split screen mode, along with the sectional map. Is there a way...

When displaying a Seattle Avionics sectional map on my HDX screen, I find it very difficult to touch the exact spot needed to bring up an airport's identifier text box instead of the airspace info during flight (illustrated in figures 143 & 144, ch. 5-40 of the Pilots User Guide). It seems your...

Experimenting with my HDX map feature today, I found if I touch anywhere on the screen, then press the button twice, the Flight Planner will create a direct flight plan from my plane's current position to the location I touched on the screen. It does this without me needing to create or add a...

I have a question about this option found in the Setup Menu > Map Setup screen (see attached). If I've loaded and enabled a flight plan using the Skyview Flight Plan menu, how does this option change Skyview's behavior when switching from No (default) to Yes? Other than the note at the bottom of...

How do most pilots calibrate their Skyview AoA system - with no flaps, partial flaps or full flaps? I have an RV-6 with a new Skyview install and am ready to calibrate. If I calibrate using full flaps, wouldn't the visual & aural AoA indicators be skewed/offset when landing without any flaps or...

I recently completed my RV-6's panel upgrade with an HDX system, including a new SV-COM-425 radio transceiver. This past weekend flying @ 8,500' over eastern Colorado, I called Denver Center to request Flight Following and the reception was extremely poor - very noisy, staticky and nearly...

While I was configuring my HDX system setup screens, under PFD Setup > Airspeed Limitations > Performance I ran across a V-speed I hadn't seen before, Vo - Operating Maneuvering speed. As I didn't fully understand Dynon's brief description ("Vo is a speed selected by the manufacturer that is...

I want to build my own custom length SV-NET cables to connect my Skyview components. Does anyone know the Belden equivalent for the 9 conductor Tefzel wire cable Dynon uses for their prebuilt SV-NET cables? I would like to keep the same wire color codes and gauge sizes Dynon uses. Andre'

I recently read the following horror story about someone spraying an instrument panel to disinfect that ended up damaging the panel paint: https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2020/august/20/improper-disinfectant-appears-to-damage-two-skyhawks?utm_source=ebrief&utm_medium=email Reading...

I am using the Seattle Avionics VFR sectional charts on my HDX800 display and sent their support the following: "Do your sectional charts include the Legend side & lower sections used for chart reference?" The response I received "No but the information should be built into the avionic. I...

Can someone please tell me what the Skyview HDX Checklist file size limitation is? I've tried uploading a 50 KB Checklist file into my HDX800 and received the error message "File Too Large". There are no other error messages. I've searched both the Skyview Installation and Pilot User's Guides...

While we patiently wait for the release of the next Skyview system software upgrade, I was thinking about what new features/enhancements could be added. Since we've been told the HDX displays are really mini-computers, I vote for adding the capability of displaying JPG/PDF images in our...
